When rhythm games became a major trend in 2008 thanks to the popularity of ''Guitar Hero'' and ''Rock Band'', Konami decided to FollowTheLeader and cash in on the craze in 2008 with Rock Revolution, a partial band game (no vocals) developed by Zoe Mode, with no dedicated guitar controller (just use a VideoGame/GuitarHero or VideoGame/RockBand one), and a very awkward looking drum kit peripheral. The result? Disaster. A game full of covers, a majority of songs under-charted, and an overall low-quality experience.
