I'm surprised nobody has posted about this game yet.  Has anybody heard any Real buzz about it, as in other than EA's own buzz?

As a cheesy metal head, I'm just friggin' Giddy over the game concept and I'm not even a gamer.  In fact, I still live in the regular XboX dark ages.  But if this turns out to be fun, I'll put the XboX 360 on my Christmas list.

I've been following it for quite some time, and some of the overall concepts are rather intriguing.  They've made something similar to Warcraft III, where you're playing as a hero in an RTS-type setting.  Don't mistake my meaning when I say RTS, though.  I only use the term because I can't think of a better way to describe it.

 

Gotta say that I'm seriously amused by the logical (extreme) conclusion they've gone to with the idea of a "battle of the bands".

I think it looks like a lot of fun.  Critics have been giving it lots of talk and praise, so it should be good.

Demo on Xbox Live in September.  Yeah I already have this game reserved.

I'm looking forward to this a lot

Quib, you're looking for the term action adventure. And it's no way close to Warcraft 3. Mechanics are more like a Zelda game actually.

 

For the game itself, the setting looks awesome.
