Rock Band Reloaded was a 2010 rhythm game developed by EA Montreal and published by EA Mobile for the iOS. Part of the Rock Band series, it is third game in the series to be released for mobile devices, following Rock Band Mobile (2009) and Rock Band (2009).
Gameplay was similar to other Rock Band series games, but controlled without instrument controllers, and instead with the iOS-device's multi-touch display, microphone, and built-in accelerometer. The game featured multiplayer support over Bluetooth and local Wi-Fi.
A total of thirty songs appeared in the game, and extra songs are available as purchasable downloadable content.
On July 31, 2012, due to an expiring contract with Rock Band main developer Harmonix, the game was removed from the App Store.
Gameplay
[edit]Rock Band Reloaded uses many gameplay features found in previous games. As before, the player has a choice between Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Vocals on four different difficulties (Easy, Normal, Hard and Expert). Main gameplay includes hitting scrolling notes as they come toward the player. In addition to the standard quickplay, the game has a tour mode as well, allowing the player to venture from city to city and perform concerts. However, unlike its predecessor, Rock Band Reloaded comes with a new vocal recognition mode, effectively duplicating the microphone found in console versions of the game. The game also features a multiplayer mode, and the ability to connect with Facebook to see your friends' scores and post achievements.[1][2]
