The object of the game is to upgrade your band mates, their instruments, vehicle, promotions, and stage shows by playing concerts around the country and gaining money.

The object of the game is to upgrade your band mates, their instruments, vehicle, promotions, and stage shows by playing concerts around the country and gaining money. There isn't a timer, making it a relaxing game if you want to play a TM game without clicking like crazy. Earning money is an interesting wrinkle in this game; you get to dicker with the promoter for your cut of the proceeds. This can be a bit of a challenge until you get used to what percentage matches your band's talents and reknown. You actually drop your band if you want once you unlock others and push them to their full development. I'm not really sure what the final point of the game is, but it is interesting and can meet the need to play a relaxing TM game. It has replay value! Show less

I recommend this game!

I feel that I should let people know about the one thing that I think is really irritating about this game. I like it a lot and though as some said, it doesn't change too much as far as gameplay- it stays entertaining and the challenges do get harder in trying to get money and new equipment etc.

The NEGATIVE thing that I have to say about this game is that in the map view (if you try out the game, you'll know what I mean# you can't zoom in. It automatically zooms out because your band begins to expand it's tour but then it doesn't let you zoom back in to see the stars to select new shows or to record your album etc. It's really irritating and I wish they would either add that or let you pan around so that instead of zooming out for you, they let you drag the map view around.

I really like this game, but that is the only reason that I might not fully recommend it.

If I had known I probably wouldn't have purchased it. I noticed it towards the end of the hour trial but figured that I just wasn't doing something right or whatever. It seemed ridiculous that I couldn't see better but then I bought it and am at the second level and still have not found a way to do that. I checked the forums and apparently this has been an issue since the game came out. :#

Hopefully they will fix it.

I DO recommend the game, but only if it's ok with you. If you don't mind that part then get it. Otherwise, just hope they come out with a new one (though I think it's been out for 3 years now so not likely...) That is why I am saying I do not recommend. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I love this game but...I can finish it in less than one hour, have planes & more money than I need so PLEASE add harder levels, different songs, and the instruments need to be able to upgrade at least another level. Once you play the "Olympic" with the best instruments and they laugh at you because they're not good enough it's not fair that I can't upgrade the instruments. Adding a few more ...Show more

Adding a few more players to choose from would be nice & being able to change the SINGER is a must, but I stil love it. Show less

We’ve run across these kinds of themes in media before, in movies like That Thing You Do and School of Rock. We’ve also seen it in games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but this little casual sim makes you the manager of an up-and-coming rock band from Baltimore.

We’ve run across these kinds of themes in media before, in movies like That Thing You Do and School of Rock. We’ve also seen it in games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but this little casual sim makes you the manager of an up-and-coming rock band from Baltimore.

This band has a blue-sy kind of sound, and even features an electric violin. You do actually get to hear their tracks when they play at more elite venues, and if you are a fan of Dave Matthews Band, you will really enjoy these guys, whose name you have to give them.

The only problem I had with the game was that once more East Coast corridor venues opened up, the map you had to work with needed to be more precise. It was US map on the back of a diner place mat, and when we are pretty much working with only the New-Balti-Wash area at the onset, we definitely need bigger map for a smaller area to work with. Speaking of working, we do quite a bit, getting gigs, setting up advertising, taking opportunities lay down some tracks to hit the MP3 websites and more. This was a really fun game, and you might find that managing a fictional band is more fun that anyone ever realised. I don’t have the time or energy to do such a thing in real life, but if by chance, my lucky stars went supernova, and such a thing came my way, I’d run a Rock Tour. Show less

This game is really fun but I did get irritated with the inability to adjust screen ratio. I also got irritated with the map because you can't zoom in. If those are things you can live with (I did but it made the game less fun) then go ahead and play away otherwise, it will get on your nerves.

I recommend this game!

it will take at a minimum 40 hours or so.

If you plan to get the most out of this game,

Throughout your 40 hours, your gameplay

I enjoy Rock Tour.
There are four levels, unlock one for the next.
It is highly re-playable for two reasons:
humor and music.

The strategy: you are tour manager
and record producer for a goofy group
of wannabe rock stars.

The graphics are simple. A touring bus on a map.
Schedule shows, pay the bills, maintain the peace
within a rock band.

There are flaws. There is no zoom in or zoom out on the map. This is annoying when your tourbus is on a 2-D map. parked in Chicago - yet the venues (indicated with stars) are hidden by the bus! One must click on a star to schedule shows. Yet there are many shows, more than enough, various size venues, etc.

The game gets slow and repetitive. The time is spent in developing musician's ability and managing to get songs written.

The game will not progress very well if one is slow to write songs and record albums, As this is where the real money is.
The name of the songs are fun.

There is very minor storyline for each level. But its reads as an afterthought of useless skippable dialogue.

Despite the zoom-map fail, the montony of gameplay and the throwaway storyline. I'll always like this game.

I sure hope it has a sequel. with many improvements! Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed working on skills for my band mates, music was good, earning money with different strategies was fun. My issue with this game was like others stated, the map became a challenge to book gigs because you could not zoom in. The game play became tedious fairly quickly. This is a great game to demo, but I do not recommend it for purchase.

I recommend this game!
