New details for EA's ambitious Rock Band have been revealed, highlighting 
how each peripheral will work and what you can expect from the game.
The information arose from the most recent edition of Game Informer 
magazine. EA was unavailable for comment at time of writing.
There's four separate campaigns, one for each of the instruments: guitar, 
bass, drum and vocal. You can play through each alone, or in one big 
holding-hands co-operative mode. You'll also be able to go online with your 
full band, and apparently each member can choose a different difficulty 
setting.
Finding band members will apparently be a cinch, too, thanks to a bunch of 
new community features. You'll even be able to pump your recordings out 
across the world, but exact details are being kept under wraps.
The layout will put the guitar on the left of the screen, bass on right and 
drums down the middle - with the fret-boards now transparent so you can see 
what's going on in the background. Vocals will scroll across the top of the 
screen.
The lead and bass axes will now have 10 buttons; five for regular play in 
the usual position, with the rest closer to the guitar for special 
sections - presumably when you slide on your knees and rock to the heavens. 
You'll also have an array of five different sound effects to apply to your 
instrument of destruction: Flange, Wah, Chorus and Echo - plus whammy bar 
will return alongside tilt activation of your "star power".
Warblers will enjoy a more in-depth singing system than before - apparently 
it'll pick up individual vowels and consonants. Build up enough of these and 
you'll be able to sing without stabilisers. If you do well enough in this 
free-form mode you'll trigger the vocal version of "star power". And for 
quiet times when your lead guitarist hits the solo notes, your mic will 
double as a tambourine so you can tap along.
Drummers will use actual sticks to pound four coloured pads in front of 
them, as well as stamp on a kick-pedal tied into the peripheral. Like all 
others you'll get the chance to add your own frills, and if you suitably 
impress you'll get the chance to go free-form and trigger your "star power".
If that all sounds a little hair-raising and you're frightened you won't be 
able to keep up with your musically talented friends, then don't panic. If 
you fudge your area, the whole lot doesn't crumble and fall. You simply go 
into a grey section and sit out until someone triggers a "star power" - then 
you can rejoin the fun. And if all of you reach the end together, you'll get 
a chance to go free-form together. Hot rocks, man.
You can get personal with a character-creation system and create multiple 
"yous" focusing on different instruments, or head into one of four themed 
clothing stores to thread-up. You'll even be able to shell-out for new 
licenced guitars, pedals, and other rock bits - as expected when Fender, 
BOSS and Roland all signed up to take part.
Your character will select a movement style, too, all motion-captured from 
famous stars like Axel Rose and Eric Clapton - and venues will number more 
than 40.
While no price has been mentioned for the various peripherals, you will be 
able to use your Xplorer 360 guitar with the game - although it won't have 
the new buttons (and look like a fancy Fender) for the special sections. 
You'll need a unique set of peripherals for each platform, though, so you 
won't be able to use your 360 drum kit with a PS3 version. As if you ever 
expected to. USB microphones will be supported, but headsets will probably 
be out of the question due to the low recording quality.
So far just four songs have been revealed, all original master tracks:
  a.. Weezer - Say It Ain't So
  b.. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
  c.. The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
  d.. Nirvana - In Bloom
