As a big fan of the rhythm/music genre of games, I was excited to find out that Harmonix had collaborated with a smaller developer to condense its Rock Band franchise into a form very similar to another game they developed, Frequency. The music and track assignment is spot-on, and its good to see some tracks made it in here that were never a part of the original console line-ups. The portability of the PSP format also makes for a great experience with a set of quality headphones in and you just want to get into the game for a short while. You can hear the areas of the track where the instruments shine individually and it's a real treat. While it may not appeal to anyone who isn't used to the more complex entries into the rhythm/music genre (despite its connection to the mainstream monster that is Rock Band itself), the difficulty settings you can choose, and even the helpful beginner tutorial, make this a game that anyone with a genuine interest can pick up and enjoy.Read full review
My son has a PSP with a lot of games that he doesn't really play, and that I would not play. When I saw this on sale for around $7, I grabbed it. We were so excited for it to arrive at our door & began playing it immediately. I've created our own band with all the members of our family, which is awesome. We tour and do shows, unlock new cities, songs and gear for the band, all while playing all FOUR ROLES IN THE BAND. It's hard at first, but you can set the controls how you want them and get used to it in no time. It's by far the GREATEST game I have played on PSP. You can even download your favorite songs from the Playstation store. I love everything about Rock Band Unplugged!!!!
Let me start off by saying that this is an excellent port of a game to a handheld system. The gameplay is fast paced and somewhat difficult at first, but once you play it for awhile you will fall in love with it. To me, the song selection could have been a bit wider, but I'm sure you can only fit so many songs onto one UMD disc. The plus side of this is that if you have access to a wi-fi connection, you can go into the Playstation Store and download new songs to your memory card to import to the game (That is if the $1.99 a song isn't too steep for you). It plays alot like it's big brother counterparts on a lot of differrent levels, but adds its own small twists to keep it original at the same time. In this version, you play all of the tracks at the same time (Bass, Drums, Vocals, and Guitar). The controls work like this Left on the D-pad, Up on the D-Pad, Triangle, and finally Circle. This takes some getting used to at first but you will find this is probably a comfortable alternative to using all four face buttons to control the notes. I beleive you can change the controls but haven't tried it myself. You use the Left and Right top buttons to switch between instruments. One phrase is played and if you can hit it perfectly than it will continue to play on it's own while you move on to the next instrument in line. All in all the gameplay is fast and furious and the music will thump especially if you have a decent pair of headphones hooked up to your PSP. A recommended buy for fans and newcomers alike!Read full review

I like rock band on the psp because now i can play rock band on the go. it is interesting how you play all the instruments instead of just one, it keeps the game interesting. the things that disappoint me is the lack of a track list, normally rock band has a lot of songs, this has around 40. another thing that disappoints me is that there is no online interaction with this game. i would love to play online with other players. the only thing that is online with rock band is the music store, which has a few songs to download at $1.99 each. otherwise, the gameplay reminds me of rock band on the normal consoles.
