Become one using just a pair of Wii Remotes.

Milton Keynes 505 Games is today pleased to reveal We Rock: Drum King , a brand new rhythm-action game for Nintendo Wii, which sees you becoming the drummer in a band thats on the road to global stardom. Its due to rock out across Europe in April 2009.

Unlike many rhythm games, to become a music legend in We Rock: Drum Kingyou only require two Wii Remotes, rather than having to clutter your living room with potentially expensive instruments. The remotes become your virtual drumsticks as you beat your way through 30 awesome tunes, including Bloc Partys Banquet and Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf.

You start on the road to fame by creating your drummer and then joining a band, before performing in a range of increasingly spectacular venues until youre crowned the greatest rock band in the world.

Developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii by DEL, We Rock: Drum King takes full advantage of the innovative motion-sensing capabilities of the console. The game is played by moving the remotes as if youre air drumming. Different drums including snare, toms, hi-hat and bass are simulated by waving the Wii Remotes while pressing a different button.

Wannabe drummers know exactly when and what drum to hit thanks to coloured indicators that scroll down the screen in time to the tune. The difficulty can be scaled too, so that beginners can pick-up-and-rock-out, whereas experienced beat masters can crank up the challenge to 11.

We Rock: Drum King will be released exclusively for Nintendo Wii in Europe in April 2009.
