[QUOTE="JPL, post: 883932, member: 1964"] The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of varying the game by changing the music. The source material gives us the default assumption of "bubblegum rock." But every darn muscial genre I can think of gets better when you add, "...and they're cartoons, and they solve mysteries." I mean, look at a neo-swing band like Royal Crown Revue. You just KNOW those guys solve mysteries. Blues. Bluegrass. Bebop. Hip-Hop. Rockabilly. Zydeco. It's all good. [The rockabilly band could have a hound dog mascot. And the zydeco band could have an alligator.] This game would also combine brilliantly with some of the other Poly minigames: Mecha Crusade --- Wouldn't "Voltron" be a lot cooler if he formed a giant plasma guitar and rocked out? Omega World --- This one is obvious. Post-apocolyptic survivalists...and they have a band. And they solve mysteries. Shadow Chasers --- At the end, when you pull off the fake werewolf's mask...it's a vampire! V for Victory --- You're a swing combo on a USO tour, entertaining the troops, solvin' them mysteries, and foiling those kooky Nazis [who probably have a really bad polka band]. Thunderball Rally --- It's already been done! It's the Jerry Reed episodes of Scooby-Doo! Eastbound and down, load it up and truck it! And bring your Telecaster! [/QUOTE]
