High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rock Band 3 is a 2010 music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts. The game, a sequel to Rock Band 2, was released in October 2010 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Nintendo DS. Rock Band 3 allows one to seven players to simulate the playing of rock music by providing the players with peripherals modeled after musical instruments. These include a guitar peripheral for lead guitar and bass gameplay, a drum kit peripheral, a keyboard peripheral, and up to three microphones. Rock Band 3 is the first game in the series to include a "Pro" mode, which allows players to use more realistic peripherals to play the game`s songs note-for-note as they would be played on an actual instrument.
