Players can treat their Wii Remotes like drumsticks and shake their fists all the way to rock stardom in Rolling Stone: Drum King. Gamers begin by creating a drummer and joining a band, then traveling around the world gaining fame by performing 30 different rock classics from such artists as Queen, The Clash, and Steppenwolf. Rolling Stone: Drum King makes use of the "falling note" mechanic popularized by Guitar Hero, but instead of beating on peripherals, players simply shake the Wii Remotes in rhythm with the music, holding different buttons to simulate snares, hi-hats, toms, and bass drums. The game features graduated difficulty levels, and players can rock out solo or join a friend for multiplayer music making.
