Harmonix Announces Lego Rock Band

If you haven’t gotten around to playing one of the games in the recent Lego franchise (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman) I really do advise it. Those games might be aimed at kids, but they’re still a blast to play. Later this year, we will have another addition to the series which, despite the rumors that were floating around a few weeks back, caught me a bit by surprise. I’m talking about Lego Rock Band.

That’s right, we had Lego games based on movies and comics, and now we have one based on another game. Crazy. There aren’t a lot of details out just yet, but we know that it will be “Family-Friendly” and you can “Build a Band and Rock the Universe.” The release date is a hazy “holiday 2009” with consoles being listed as Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS.

Five tracks have also been announced:

• Blur “Song 2”
• Carl Douglas “Kung Fu Fighting”
• Europe “The Final Countdown”
• Good Charlotte “Boys and Girls”
• Pink “So What”
