Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you play on a TV with noticeable input lag

What playing Rock Revolution is like

Music and rhythm games challenge your timing by asking you to hit inputs in sync with the beat.

Tip for newcomers: Modern TVs can add input lag that throws off timing; use your TV's game mode if rhythm feels off.
