Kind of. I haven&#8217;t played Amplitude or Frequency, but according to a report over on G4TV, Rock Band Blitz is a bit like those games.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, you bump between any of the incoming instruments tracks and bash out the notes on your (regular) controller, adding power-ups for bonuses and big points. The game goes out with 25 tracks, but is also compatible with all previous Rock Band on-disc and downloadable content, including over 3,500 songs. The new songs in Rock Band Blitz can <em>also<\/em> be imported into Rock Band 3.<\/p>\n<p>No proper multiplayer mode, though, which feels like a bit of a miss.<\/p>\n<p>The game is due out later this year, although no price has been confirmed yet.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.g4tv.com\/games\/xbox-360\/65996\/rock-band-blitz\/articles\/76983\/rock-band-blitz-hands-on-preview-arcade-rocking-in-the-downloadable-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">G4TV<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related Article<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Rocksmith: rocking SA in 2012\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/34311-rocksmith-rocking-sa-in-2012.html\">Rocksmith: rocking SA in 2012<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening, and the music was soothing, and they all started grooving<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":35486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,3214,131,3213,847],"class_list":["post-35449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-harmonix","tag-psn","tag-rock-band-blitz","tag-xbla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35449"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35487,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35449\/revisions\/35487"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
