Acclaim Unveils Free Browser-Based Rock Game Rockfree

3:40AM Mike Fahey | Why spend a couple hundred dollars on plastic instruments when you can play a browser-based band rhythm game and play for free? This is the question put forth by Acclaim’s latest online game, Rockfree. Announced today, Rockfree is a browser-based game that will allow players to create their own rock avatar, open their own rock club, and engage in rock battles with up to 7 other players on any stage. Aside from three licensed songs being shown off in the sneak preview being held tomorrow – “Iron Man”, “Fat Lip”, and “Woman” – more than 40 new songs are slated to be produced for the game, with players having the ability to upload their own music as well. “Acclaim Games is excited about offering an online rock game that connects people through music and a multiplayer experience. People don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to play ROCKFREE, and because it’s free-to-play the entire world can now enjoy a music based game.” says Howard Marks CEO of Acclaim Games. Details are scant, but won’t be for long. Closed beta kicks off tomorrow with the public preview event at http://www.rockfree.com/. Hit the jump for some images and the full release. More »
