LEGO Rock Band heads to DS

A portable Rock Band experience without the need for peripherals.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, the LEGO Group, Harmonix and MTV Games have announced the development of LEGO Rock Band, a new portable Rock Band experience for music fans of all ages.

LEGO Rock Band has been designed to be played without the use of a peripheral and also includes a multiplayer mode where up to four players can participate in local wireless gameplay.
