Rock Out With Your PSP Out in Rock Band Unplugged
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 08, 2009 5:52am PDTA shiny trailer and screenshots today illuminate Harmonix and Backbone's Rock Band Unplugged for the PSP, which received a low-key announcement earlier this year.
The full Rock Band experience is present, including World Tour, Band Survival and Warm Up modes, a character creator, and an in-game downloadable content store.
All four Rock Band instruments--even vocals--are played with the regular PSP buttons, unlike rival franchise Guitar Hero's DS entry On Tour which used a plug-in controller.
Unplugged also briefly features the following songs as exclusives, though they will later become available as downloadable content for other Rock Band games:
- 3 Doors Down - "Kryptonite"
- AFI - "Miss Murder"
- Alice in Chains - "Would?"
- Audioslave - "Gasoline"
- Black Tide - "Show Me the Way"
- Blink 182 - "What's My Age Again"
- Freezepop - "Less Talk More Rokk"
- Jackson 5 - "ABC"
- Tenacious D - "Rock Your Socks"
Published by MTV Games, Rock Band Unplugged is out for the PSP on June 9.

PSP and likely tapping the shoulder buttons to strum... you might as well buy a pocket simon, that'll be waaaaay more entertaining.

I love Rock Band, but the musical options are limited (it is "Rock Band" after all). Amplitude had some really awesome Electronic stuff in it that is sorely lacking from all music games today. I get that Rock Band has the name recognition now, but I wish Harmonix could transfer some of their popularity today into another game like Amplitude.
Bonus if HMX can figure out some way that if they release tracks that are already out on other systems to link up with my rockband.com and then allow me to get those tracks for the PSP at a reduced cost or free.
