4 out of 5 stars Hardware Problems out of the box!!   October 13, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Ok, so the best thing about getting this from Amazon was the price and the free shipping. You just can't beat that, BUT out of the box the guitar didn't work at all and the drum pedal was only working intermittently. Since we got this as a birthday present for our son, we were majorly disappointed when he and his friends couldn't play on his birthday. Plus, it's not like you can just return it (because we bought it online), and keep in mind that even if you do buy this in a store you can't return it. You need to go through EA Games and get replacements (which came in a couple of days) for any defective hardware. Overall, the game is great and a lot of fun, the price is right and I would recommend buying, but beware and be prepared for the possibility you might have a defective unit, right out of the box.



4 out of 5 stars Wii Love It!   October 9, 2008
This is my first experience with any of the instrument playing games (rock band or guitar hero). I purchased it here on Amazon for a lower price than in stores near me and got free shipping. That alone was enough to make me excited. I bought this for my 13 year old stepdaughter for her birthday. It is great! We love it very much. Everything worked and was in perfect condition when we received it in the mail. I had already read the reviews stating that there is not much customization, but that is fine with us as we just like to rock! One suggestion, children much younger than mine (13 yrs) are likely to really bang on the drums hard and in general be a little rough on the instruments. I just mentioned it to them that they can be a little more gentle and it worked, supervision may be necessary to avoid replacing instruments. Video games sure have come a long way since Atari!


3 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Times with Friends   October 5, 2008
Well, I was recently invited to a friend's BBQ and tried this out for the first time. The whole package came with a game disc which was scratched up. Best Buy clerk let my friend exchange the game disc for another one. However, the clerk reminded us that whole package should have been returned and replaced rather than only the game disc. The pieces were easy to put together but some friends had issue with the quality of the parts. The guitar had this head piece that was difficult to snap on. Also, the drum set seemed a bit unsecured but was corrected after reading instructions. The USB hub had some problem with recognizing the microphone but don't know if this is just a freak accident.

The game disc has a couple of songs which was a letdown. But, these songs were fairly easy to sing to and play along. People were nervous about singing alone but you don't really hear it. The game console just monitors if you have the right tones (high, low, medium). Also, there is only the long notes where your voice is projected. Overall, you should start at the easy setting and then work up to difficult. Guitar was by far the easiest to do. Just follow the color scheme on the screen to the buttons on the guitar. The drums was just a tad bit harder since you are moving around each of the drums. After a while, just sit back and watch others since you get to see others polishing their skill. Well, it's a crowd-pleaser that everyone can't really screw-up too badly in the company of friends.



5 out of 5 stars We LOVE Wii Rock Band!   October 2, 2008
I bought this because we had adult children coming to visit. Little did I know that I would enjoy the game as much as they do! Rock Band gives everyone an opportunity to play at their level. We bought an extra guitar so we could include the bass player. GREAT way to have fun as a family!


5 out of 5 stars great rockband   September 30, 2008
i recieved the rockband quickly. my niece turned 21 yrs. she was so excited. had all her friends over and all they did was play together, they all had so much fun. this game is great to have friends and familys do something together. this is one of the best inventions to come out. i love this game.
rockband 2 will be out soon. but it does not matter how much better it is. you still have fun together whether it is rockband 1 or 2.
