The game introduces an all-new keyboard controller, with its own note charts for the 60+ songs that have a real-life keyboard (or substitute) part. Two years after the release of Rock Band 2, the third game, Rock Band 3, was released in October 2010, with a great deal of new features. It was in this era that the Rock Band Network was introduced, allowing anyone with an Xbox Live developer account to submit their own music and charts and receive a piece of the revenue. Whereas the first game had less than 60 songs, this one had 84, with all songs available on every instrument. Both games are supported by a large pool of downloadable songs (the same large pool, in fact - all DLC is on the same platform, though songs released beyond Rock Band 3 won't work in previous games), including some by artists and genres further flung from what most consider "rock", like country, funk, and electronic dance, as well as a number of independent and international artists. Not to mention drum tutorials, a World Tour playable alone (or without needing to sing while you do), the ability to port over songs from Rock Band 1 for a small fee (on the 360 and PS3), and more. Rock Band 2 was released a year later (2008), with significant upgrades to the often-criticized instruments - including the $300 Ion Drum Kit, which can also be used as a regular MIDI drum kit. Differences from Guitar Hero 2 include all-black highway backgrounds, rectangular gems instead of round ones, the extensive use of original masters instead of covers perhaps most important is the addition of vocals (with Harmonix using their experience developing Karaoke Revolution to good use) and drums, which join the pre-existing guitar and bass modes, allowing for a total of four players (bandmates) at once and expanding the number of ways to play from one to three (as the guitar and bass modes share similar gameplay). Rock Band was the original release, a Spiritual Successor to Guitar Hero 2. At the end of 2010, Harmonix and Viacom announced that they are parting ways, with Harmonix sold to its holding company, effectively making it independent again. Guitar Hero 3, Aerosmith, and all Hero games after that were made by Neversoft under Activision Blizzard (Except for Smash Hits, which was handled by Beenox, and Van Halen, which was handled by Underground). Let's clear up some confusion first: Harmonix made Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, which completed their contract, and then went on to release Rock Band in 2007 under their new parent company Viacom through MTV Games, with Electronic Arts handling distribution ( Lego Rock Band was handled by Traveller's Tales with the Rock Band 2 engine, although Harmonix took care of the note charting).

Remember Guitar Hero? The hours you spent wailing away on your little plastic guitar, pretending to be a musician? Well Rock Band takes that feeling and cranks it Up to Eleven with the introduction of vocals, drums, keyboards, and pro modes, and it allows you to do it with up to six of your friends.
