Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Up until now, we had heard little of the DS version of Rock Band 3, and I was curious to find out exactly how the game would play.  I mean, there was no hulking piece of hardware that was shipping with the device, so it was not going to play the same as Guitar Hero on the DS.

Well, it looks as if the DS version takes a lot of its queues from the PSP version of Rock Band from a couple of years ago.  Rock Band 3 DS will find you flipping between tracks, while playing out sections of notes.  Also, it looks as if the Bass and Keyboard tracks are slotted in the same spot, so I wonder if you have to toggle between those, or if the game does it for you automatically.

We have a trailer of the game in action after the jump, so feel free to check it out, along with the full set list.  Rock Band 3 DS will drop at the end of October 2010 from Harmonix and MTV Games.
