We've already seen a trailer for Harmonix's portable rock star simulator Rock Band Unplugged, but if you want to see gameplay footage of a full playthrough of one of the title's tracks, consider your desire fulfilled. YouTuber Shadowneji02 somehow managed to get his hands on the game, and uploaded his performance of System of a Down's "Chop Suey." We've got said performance posted after the jump -- it might be a tad NSFW, as the player's band is puzzlingly composed of skimpily dressed femme-rockers. Creepy.
The video further enforces the feeling that Harmonix's debut title Frequency should feel very, very flattered by the upcoming PSP Rock Band adaptation. It also makes it that much more difficult for us to wait for this bad boy to hit store shelves June 9.

Of course its pirated. He wouldn't be posting video's if it was review copy, at least not on youtube.
In 10 minutes I can plug my PSP in, run remotejoylite, and records whatever I want. Its easy. He's just doing that with RBU.

Yeah, the game got leaked today. I have to say, it is a pretty fun game. Having to switch the tracks makes it a lot more challenging, and unlike previous Rock Band titles, rather than mindlessly strumming you have to quickly make choices about how to strategically win. I really like it.

Actually it was leaked a couple of days ago, not today. The game runs very nicely, the graphics look great on the PSP's screen, and most of all, the gameplay is very very addicting.
And for those of you that might only want to play one instrument, there is a warmup mode that provides a kind of No Fail atmosphere, so you can focus on whatever instrument you like.
One of the more subtle features is that when you switch to each track, that instrument's volume goes up a bit above the rest so you can focus on getting the phrase right the first time.
I'll be picking this game up day one for sure.

Rip-off or otherwise, I think it looks like a great deal of fun.

Look fun and infinitely easier and approachable then DJ MAX portable. Its much like 4b mode with the triggers used for switching.

Nothing wrong with the ladies in the band...
By the way, I like how the guy can't even put a sentence together but he's got a leaked copy of the game.
