Rock Legend for iPhone / iPod Touch (video)


What’s the opposite of legend? Whatever you deem an appropriate antonym, that’s exactly what Rock Legend is. In an attempt to make a streamlined air guitar app, Rock Legend falls face first atop a pile of broken guitars. Simply put, this app just doesn’t work that well. I had a uniquely bad experience each time I fired up this app to give it a try.

We all know the basic motions when it comes to air guitar so I don’t have to explain that. Each of the included 4 songs has a pre programmed chord progression that you “motion” into effect. Sometimes it worked, most times it didn’t. In the video below I actually get it to work! It took me 4 video tries to get there though! Trying to get this app to work sort of requires you to be familiar with the songs and their chord progressions in order to get the timing down. If you don’t it doesn’t really matter anyway.

With that said, the thing that doesn’t work the most is the timing of the riffs. The AC/DC riff “Highway to Hell” is one of the most instantly recognizable classic metal riffs. Not here. Even if you strum in time with how the riff should go, it’s late and it plays the same chords too many times before switching to the next chord. There’d be times where a crowd applause noise would appear out of nowhere and the two “stop pads” were completely unresponsive. Ideally the stop pads are there to help you stop the chord from ringing out so you can air strum the next one, but from my experience they did not work whatsoever.
