Rock Band

Plastic instrument simulator

Rock Band is a rhythm video game franchise where players simulate performing in a band using plastic instrument controllers—guitar, bass, drums, and microphone.

Players hit notes scrolling on screen in time with popular songs: We played Rock Band until 3 a.m.

The term also describes the general genre of music games featuring full band gameplay.
