 I really feel like a rockstar May 14, 2008
What a great game, the fun factor is amazing, I'm playing it for hours, the only problem i found was that the drums are a little noisy.
Who doesn't love this game??? May 12, 2008
Seriously! There's not much to say other than Rock Band rocks!!! I love playing the drums...even by myself. Of course playing with others really makes the game fun, and it's great for parties but it's possible to have a blast playing alone as well.
I have pretty much no complaints about this game. Grab some friends, buy a copy and rock the eff out!!! \m/
communal karaoke May 12, 2008
It is the new defacto party game. It's karaoke without the awkward spotlight of being singled out. As embarrassed as the singer might be that they're off-key or can't keep rhythm or read fast enough, the drummer and guitarist will cringe at missing their notes. The weight is lifted off the singer and emphasis is placed on the team mentality. Easy mode is a suitable starting point on drums even for most rhythm game vets.
 Rock Band May 11, 2008
My Rock Band / Amazon experience was very satisfying, as usual. I found this price be the best (very competetive) and did not have to schlep out to the stores to get it. I bought the Xbox 360 unit and Rock Band game seperately, all for my 15 yr old daughter's B-Day (as long as she shared it!). My two girls love it! Although I suck at it, even though I am an experienced drummer...this game is great entertainment - it's interactive and if you're patient and persistent you can even get through a whole song without getting booed off stage! We will need to get more songs to add to the library on the disc. Go for it!
Heaven in game form May 9, 2008
Just when you start to get sick of an instrument....Switch it up! The versatility of the game completely enhances its playability. You can do drums, guitar (then bass if you want something a bit easier w/ the guitar), a switched hand grip on the guitar, and vocals. Oh how fun it is to try and convince yourself that you're actually a good singer.
The only complaints about the game itself is that its misleading to make you think that you get two guitars with the set....which you obviously do not (even though guitar hero guitars work with this)...and the fact the downloadable songs cost right at 2 bucks a pop...Buy your microsoft points in small doses because songs like wonderwall, simple man, and all the small things are must haves.
