Selling an expansion at a price point of $29.99 set my expectation at getting some new music to rock out to. I was disappointed to find that the release of Rivals didn’t include any new songs (preordering the expansion digitally did get you some additional tracks). The amount of songs you purchase will decide how big or small your library is.
Allowing you to carry over your song purchases across each new iteration is an awesome feature and it gives you an immediate library of songs when you purchase a new title. Rock Band’s DLC model has kept me loyal to their releases. You see, Guitar Hero Live support looks to be dead and non existent, while Harmonix is still supporting Rock Band with a full fledged expansion and new music still being released weekly. Both games had lackluster releases but if I had to pick a clear winner, I would go with Rock Band 4 and the Rivals expansion just shows that I’m right in some way. So here we are in the Fall of 2016 and a year has passed since the music genre was brought back to life and it didn’t quite go as either company planned. The music genre seemed dead from over-saturation when we last saw them and I think it was also in part a fad. Conveniently, Rock Band wasn’t the only instrument driven game released at the time Guitar Hero also made its return to market. The release of Rock Band 4 last fall signified the resurrection of the music genre.
