'''Rock Band 3''' is a [[2010]] [[music]] game developed by [[Harmonix]]. The game was initially published and distributed by [[MTV Games]] and [[Electronic Arts]], respectively, in late October 2010. [[Mad Catz]] took over both roles and re-released the title on November 23, [[2011]]. It is the third main game in the ''{{c|Rock Band}}'' series. As with the previous titles, ''Rock Band 3'' allows players to simulate the playing of [[wp:rock music|rock music]] and many other subgenres using special instrument controllers mimicking lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals. ''Rock Band 3'' expands upon previous games by including three-part vocal harmonies—previously used in ''[[The Beatles: Rock Band]]'' and ''[[Green Day: Rock Band]]'' (up to 3 singers on a song)— plus support for MIDI-compatible keyboards, electronic drumkits, and even use of a real guitar in "Pro" mode. | |||
Distinguishing it from all previous rhythm music games, ''Rock Band 3'' features "Pro" mode, which is designed to accurately mimic playing of real instruments. In Pro mode, real guitar and bass players have to match specific fingering on frets and strings, drummers have to strike cymbal pads in addition to snare and toms, and keyboardists have to use precise fingering across the whole keyboard. [[MadCatz]] manufactured a 102-button controller with 6 strings meant for bass and for lead guitar. Real instruments and original Basic controllers can be played simultaneously in various combinations within the game to simulate playing in a real band. Before a song starts, the players choose which instrument they will represent within the song. If the right note is hit or played, it is heard in the audio. If notes are missed, they are not heard. | Distinguishing it from all previous rhythm music games, ''Rock Band 3'' features "Pro" mode, which is designed to accurately mimic playing of real instruments.
