Rock Band 4's gameplay and structure are mostly unchanged from previous versions of the game. It's a welcome option that will save you money, if you managed to keep your old plastic instruments in working condition. If you still have your Rock Band instruments from the previous console generation (PlayStation 3 instruments work with the PS4 version of the game, Xbox 360 instruments work with the Xbox One version of the game), you can use them instead of buying new ones, and your experience will remain effectively the same. Then there's the Band-in-a-Box package, which is for $249.99 on either system I tested it for the PlayStation 4. ![]() The game packaged with a wireless guitar is $129.99 for either system. The game on its own retails for $59.99 for the PlayStation 4 and $79.99 for the Xbox One PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 guitars connect to the console via Bluetooth, but the Xbox One lacks Bluetooth and requires an additional USB wireless adapter, included in the package. Rock Band 4 is available in several versions, thanks to its welcome backward compatibility with older Rock Band instruments. ![]() It isn't ambitious, but it's a reminder of just how fun playing with plastic instruments can be, now available on the current generation of game systems.

As did Linklater on the direction of the film. The plot to this film is really good I think and Mike White did a great job on the screenplay. His real passion for rock music helps a lot in this film, and makes Dewey Finn one hell of a good character. Since Jack is actually in a rock band in real life, and has played a few characters in films before who are also into music, he just seemed to fit right into this film. ![]() If anyone else should play Dewey Finn rather than Jack, it just wouldn't be the same.

School Of Rock is a great feel-good comedy, fun for just about anyone of any age, kids or adults. Yet another one of his crazy ideas strikes him and his plan to turn his class into a rockband to win the Battle of the Bands competition is set in motion. In a desperate attempt to getting money fast, Dewey impersonates Ned and conveniently finds himself the teacher of a third grade ( or something like that ) class for several weeks ahead.

Dewey Finn is a lazy freeloader and a guitarist in a rock band who plays gigs every night and sleeps every day, in his friend Ned Schneebly's apartment. ![]()
