BURBANK, Calif. - Get ready to build a band and rock the universe with LEGO Rock Band, the multiplayer music videogame that will have the entire family drumming, strumming and rocking to the beat. Published by Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment and MTV Games, a part of Viacom's MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA
and VIA.B), LEGO Rock Band is available now at retail stores in North
America for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Wii console,
and Nintendo DS. Offering affordable family entertainment, LEGO Rock
Band for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii is available for $49.99,
and Nintendo DS for $29.99.

Combining two of the most popular videogame brands, LEGO Rock Band
pairs the fun, customization and humor of LEGO videogames with the
multiplayer music experience pioneered by Rock Band. Filled with 45
chart-topping songs and classic favorites, LEGO Rock Band allows family
members of all ages and skill levels to break loose on the bass, drums,
guitar and mic to a soundtrack filled with hit songs from Queen, Foo
Fighters, Jackson 5, The All-American Rejects, Jimi Hendrix, Good
Charlotte, Tom Petty and more.


With LEGO, Rock Band brings its highly successful series to
Nintendo DS for the first time. In addition to the classic instrument
play found in the console versions, LEGO Rock Band offers the same
level of engagement without the need for peripherals to play the game
and is compatible with Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite and Nintendo DSi.
Also unique to LEGO Rock Band is the introduction of Rock Power
Challenges. Players can harness the power of rock to pull off killer
riffs so intense they can demolish a building, thwart an angry octopus
or send gamers on other crazy missions. And in the LEGO style of
"build-and-play" gaming, players can customize their own experience by
creating their minifigure avatars, band and entourage.

Fans can extend their experience with family-friendly downloadable
content from the massive Rock Band Music Store on their Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3 consoles that contains more than 350 songs that can be
played within LEGO Rock Band. Players can also export songs from LEGO
Rock Band to their Xbox 360 beginning November 3, 2009 and PlayStation
3 beginning November 12, 2009 to play across other Rock Band games.
LEGO Rock Band is compatible with most third party instrument
controllers and microphones. For a list of compatible peripherals,
