JoWooD has worked out a deal with Tivola to bring the DS music game Music Monstars to North America. DS owners may not have a version of Rock Band, but come September 2008, they’ll be able to play keyboards, drums and guitars and create their own songs.

Music Monstars is going to have multiple play options. There will be a Career Mode, where players will actually be in a band and work to become the best there is. The Composer Mode lets players create their own songs. The Multiplayer mode allows players to play music as a band with friends over local Wi-Fi. A full track list isn’t available, but “Personal Jesus” (Depeche Mode), “I Want to Break Free” (Queen), “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (Kylie Minogue) and “The Final Countdown” (Europe) will be in the game. Demos from the OneMonstar channel on YouTube show “Dragostea Din Tei” and classic songs also being played.

The “Can Can” being played in Music Monstars:

I’m really excited for this game. It sounds a lot like Daigasso Band Brothers, except with songs in English and an Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan-esque control scheme. It even has multiplayer and a composer mode like Daigasso. Perhaps if Music Monstars does well, Nintendo will take a hint and release the Daigasso series here.
