There are some real classics from the likes of Foo Fighters, Blondie, Blink 182 and Smashing Pumpkins. You can choose from any of them in the Quick Play menu, or unlock them one-by-one in World Tour mode. The aim is to hit as many right notes as you can in order to gain fans, and stars and unlock new levels and tracks. For example, the World Tour mode allows you to take your band on the road, playing different songs across six different venues around the World. There's enough for variety in Rock Band to keep you amused for ages. There are all kinds of special power-ups and extras, such as the 'Overdrive' feature, which is activated by flicking your phone once the power meter has reached a certain level. Your fingers and thumbs are used to hit the notes, and though it takes a while to get used to the fairly small buttons, it is in the main, a comfortable control system.

From the animations above the game board to the vibrant neon colors, the graphics are almost worthy of a console - and the sound is superb too. You get to choose from four different instruments - bass, guitar, drums, and vocals - and all of them are excellently presented. Of course, it would never be the same as playing with the full Rock Band kit, but the iPhone version is a lot more fun and responsive than I was anticipating.
