LEGO Rock Band is a music rhythm game for Nintendo DS that merges the Rock Band franchise with LEGO's imaginative style. Players assemble a customizable band, choosing different character components. The game includes a global tour mode with distinctive levels where players tackle fun challenges, earning in-game currency known as Studs to purchase LEGO items, recruit staff, and upgrade their Rock Den.
LEGO Rock Band is a blending of Rock Band and LEGO series. Players get to start a band and hire band members who will play with them. Just like with real Lego, players can mix and match bodies, torsos, legs and heads to create a character any way they want. The main game has players touring around the world at various locations, like the original Rock Band games. Unlike Rock Band however, LEGO Rock Band also has special levels where you must perform outrageous tasks such as fighting an octopus or demolishing a building using your rock concert. As players make their way through the song lists, they earn `Studs`, the game's currency. Studs can be used to purchase Lego items to decorate your Rock Den, hire new staff, buy new clothes or instruments.
