Rock Band Blitz is Harmonix’s latest entry into the rhythm game genre and doesn’t require any fancy plastic controllers to play. All you need is your controller and a set of fast fingers to hit each note in tune with the game’s 25 preloaded tracks ranging from rock to pop. The best part? All these songs are playable on Rock Band 3, so if you want to whip out your guitar and play some “Pumped Up Kicks”, you can. If you fall in love with Blitz’s frantic beat-matching gameplay, you can also import your pre-existing tracks and play them in the game.
