 Fun but needs more songs July 7, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game is a blast and fun to play with friends but we haven't gotten very far in it and playing the same songs over and over gets old. We did just get a Bon Jovi song so that was exciting!
 YOU WON'T BE SORRY July 6, 2008
Me and my son have a blast when we play this game. It's non stop good clean fun. you have alot of songs to choose from and the more you play the higher the difficulty and the more into you get. Eveytime you you ace a song you get fans and money and more venues you can play in. Good activity for parents and kids.
I'll keep it short.. July 5, 2008
Rock Band is a lot of fun. We've played it a lot and haven't had any problems with the guitar or any of the other equiptment at all. I just wish we'd practice our real guitars as often and long as we play this game!
All ages fun! July 5, 2008
As of July 2008, the Amazon order is working great!! I haven't had any issues and my 4-year-old is able to mutter through songs while I bang on the drums. My wife is in a band and loves being able to sing along and play the guitar to keep up with her song list.
I am considering the new expansion item where fog machine and lights increase the atmosphere, but I am waiting to see if I can hook a few more of my gaming-phobic friends.
Great for families and couples! July 1, 2008
I won't say much here that other reviews haven't said much more comprehensively, but I wanted to add my two cents to the discussion.
Rock Band is one of the funnest games I have for the 360. I never got into guitar hero too much, so I was a bit of a newbie (though we played tons of Karaoke Revolutions...). Let me list some pros and cons.
Pros:
1) It is great for families and couples. My wife always lost her mind with boredom when I'd want to play games. Now, she loves gaming as much as I do. We play together all the time, and we formed a band with my sister and brother-in-law and play several times a week. It's great for kids, couples, roomies, you name it. Best party game ever!
2) Great marketplace. We must have downloaded dozens of songs by now. Everything from Nine Inch Nails to Black Sabbath to Boston (and in a couple weeks a whole album by The Who). They promised that every Tuesday they'd release a song. In reality, every Tuesday, they release between 3-10 songs. There is an amazing catalog of downloadable content for every flavor of music and every skill level.
3) Skill levels. The skill levels work very nicely. If you are an old guitar hero dog and play on expert, but your girlfriend wants to sing and needs to play on easy, no problem. You each pick your own difficulties and have a great time.
4) Nice Instruments. The instruments are of good quality. We know a couple of people who broke their kick drum, but I suspect they were spazzing out on it. Ours is fine!
Cons:
1) There is no Bass tour mode. You can only play a guitar tour and get money for your character if you play lead guitar. You can do a solo tour on drums, microphone, or lead. They just dissed the bass! I love the bass; it's my favorite instrument. But I'm the band's stepchild who can only brush up in boring old "practice mode." They really need to fix this when RB2 comes out in September!!! (Please guys, read your forums and fix this!!!)
2) It is expensive. But this isn't even too bad a con for. I haven't had the need to buy any games since I got this thing in early December. It has probably saved me money since I'd have bought a couple of games I'd have lost interest in by now.
3) Not very guitar hero friendly. Many of the guitars from GH and RB don't work on each others' games. This really sucks, but I suspect there's no getting around this as the two megacorps battle for supremacy and our dollars.
But, those cons don't hardly take it down a star. This is a great game. Play it with friends, play it solo, play it online. It is worth every penny.
