Genuinely curious here. Do people actually still have their peripherals to play this, or are most people playing with controllers?

The game mode is fun but it get a little boring with the few song it has

1:08 using your overdrive in the break is cursed, because you’re just wasting it then. You’re meant to use the time to get double points for the notes you hit…

They should let you use the right thumbstick as a type of Whammy bar

can you play the rockband drums to this game? how is it not like rockband?

Did they buy $60 worth of vbucks then review?? This seems hostile for a free update

“You’re like a music producer or something bro?” “Yeah” “Noooo way, me too bro” “Niiice, which DAW are u using” “Fortnite bro”

Its an interesting mode. But it lacks the guitar hero vibes. But more of rock band. My problem is a lot of the songs do not use a guitar or drums. It is mostly pop and rnb songs, but lacks other genres too

It’s a free update wtf are they complaining for?

Bro couldn't 5 star medium so now he's mad lmao

Tame Impala songs when?

You can play 4 different instruments with obviously different keys to press on every song adding to the replay ability, and timing your star ability with the rest of your band is very important for the best score on leaderboards as well as making sure everyone plays a different thing so it’s not the same playing solo and every note being double if you hit them perfectly adds more skill. Not to mention the announcement of instruments being made by Epic for this but you can already use the guitar hero guitars if you have one.

Not even close. It’s missing over 75% of the elements. It’s an extremely basic rhythm game. That’s all it is

Was expecting a 7 from ign but a 4 cuz it’s a gamepad. IGN you need to git gud on osu or take a music theory class to get the rhythm down. You can score an easy flawless 100% on expert.

One month from now, IGN will have Fortnite Festival Parties. Instrument previews. One year from now IGN will give it 8 out of 10.

How is it bad? Its a fun mode that made me install fortnite again.

Beat it to Beat Saber.

When you hire a reviewer who admits that’s he’s never played a free to play game before and doesn’t understand the monetisation of modern F2P games, and they then lowball the review of that game based largely on said monetisation - you can see how a score of 4 might seem disingenuous. He ended up talking more about Rocket Racing (not at all related) and the monetisation of Guitar Hero (a full price game that also required the purchase of a physical instrument control kit) DLC 15 years ago than he did the fundamentals of this Fortnite mode. It’s like, at some point you just stopped trying to fairly review games. I’m not even a Fortnite fan and this review irked me. The mode looks fine and the prices are more than in-line with MANY other F2P games, but then your reviewer would know that if you’d hired one who had ever played one before. Be better.

Yes, he's played much better rhythm games.

This game feels great and instead of looking at it as a rythm game u completely compare it to rock band. the UI for this game and the accessibility for it is 10x better than any previous title close to it. it just came out and fortnite has no experience with this genre. treating it so harshly is typical IGN. The main issue is the cost for songs but complaining about controls just doesnt make sense as YOU decide what they are. u can map them out yourself and with confirmation of e-kits and guitars being added for use makes me wonder if you even did any research besides playing the game for an hour
