Announced in April, Rock Band Blitz is a new downloadable entry in the series where players use a standard controller to switch between different instrument tracks while hitting the corresponding face buttons in time with the music.
Nearly the entire existing catalogue of Rock Band music will be compatible with Rock Band Blitz, in addition to 25 new songs. The new songs can also be imported back to Rock Band 3.
New songs include Tears for Fears classic 'Shout', Elton John's 'I'm Still Standing', Living Colour's 'Cult of Personality' and Pink's 'Raise Your Glass'.
