MTV Games, Harmonix, EA to Ship Standalone Rock Band Instruments

Harmonix and MTV Games, along with distribution partner Electronic Arts, announce that individual instrument peripherals for Rock Band will start shipping to U.S. store shelves beginning on February 12th.

With standalone instrument peripherals being made available, players have the opportunity to expand the full Rock Band experience by competing in challenging play modes such as Microphone vs. Microphone, Drum vs. Drum and Guitar vs. Guitar. With instrument "versus" modes, gamers can battle against each other in "Score Duel" mode for the high score or in the challenging "Tug-O-War" mode, where giving the best performance is key. These exciting "versus" modes can be played locally or online and work with all Rock Band downloaded song tracks. In order to play downloadable content for head-to-head matches all players must own the same downloadable track. In addition, gamers can buy a new wireless standalone guitar to round out their Rock Band Special Edition Bundle or choose to build their band piece by piece through the purchase of individual software and instruments.
