Rock Band 1 special edition worth it?

I really liked the GH games, and Rock Band seemed to take the genre to another level last year. Ive never had the money for the special edition until now. Its only 85 bucks. Its listed as an opened box, but nothing was ever played or tried out. I dont wanna hvae to pay 160+ dollars for RB2, so RB1 is basically the only option. Is this worth it?

I'll be playing alone, but that was never a problem with any of the GH games

How are the reliability of the instruments?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[QUOTE="Chaos_Bladez"]Rock Band 1 is an excellent game, but the second is more convienent feature set. If I were you... Buy Rock Band 2, special edition. Rent Rock Band 1 from a friend or Blockbuster, pay $5 for the 55 RB1 song transfer. Return RB1. Paying $5 for 55 out of the 58 songs in RB1 is a great deal. Try to do that and get RB2.hillelslovak

Thanks! I guess Im getting Rock Band next week then. Here's to hoping everything works fine!!hillelslovak

Playing solo is only good if you like the songs. If you play with other people then almost all the songs are enjoyable. Zidaneski

Well, I brought it for mostly alone play but I still think it was worth it.
Plus, all of the kit from RB1 is compatiable for RB2. So, you could buy the disc for RB2 later on if you run out of entertainement with RB1.
It's equal on both sides for the most part. For example the drums to RB1 are louder, though sliencing pads can be brought, where as most people just have trouble with the RB2 drums hitting random notes (they hit red rapidly, green will be hit for no reason). Other than that, I don't know of any other differences. Though I would recommend only buying the drums if you're alone, say if you don't live with your parents because they WILL get annoyed with the noise. Just let me know if there's anything else you want me to clarify :]
