On Tuesday night, I hosted a Rock Band Party here at the house for some of my Moms’ Club friends.
As you may remember, my hubby and I have been hopelessly addicted to Rock Band for over a year now. (Yes, it even has its own Category here on the blog!) When we were trying to figure out what to do for our Moms Night Out for the month, someone mentioned Rock Band. Of course, I jumped at the chance to share my addiction with others.
My hubby and I have actually been playing the newest version of Rock Band (Rock Band 2) for a couple months now, and we love it! There are some features that were not in Rock Band 1 that are just amazing…especially for the party scenario.
My favorite?
Three words:
No
Fail
Mode!
In the original version, if one of your bandmates can’t keep up, they can “fail” and actually be boo’ed! And, if another bandmate doesn’t “save” them in time, the entire band can be boo’ed off the stage! Or, worse yet, if a bandmate fails three times, that’s it! The whole band is done with the song!
Oh, the pressure!
My hubby and I play in that brutal, unforgiving mode when we’re doing different challenges and playing different gigs to gain fans, fame and glory with our band, but to the untrained rockstar just wanting to party, it can be daunting.
Hello, No Fail Mode!
In this mode, it doesn’t matter how well you do…you can finish the song and rock it hard core anyway! You can be a total newbie and still rock it out with the experts! This is perfect for parties! (It’s under Extras in the Main Menu…We have the Xbox 360 version.)
The ladies had so much fun Tuesday night! We set up our characters as a rockin’ girl band, and we played all night! Every one of us tried our hand at every spot in the band: drummer, bassist, guitarist, vocalist. There were five of us partyin’ it up like rockstars, so we even had the groupie spot filled!
Every band needs a groupie. 
And, I dare say, a great time was had by all.
It was a blast!
I wish other things came with a No Fail Mode. I’m thinking the kitchen would be a great place to start…
