So the other day me and my wife bought the game Rock Band for the Xbox 360. And I really loved it at first. Me and my wife started a band, we got to name the band, pick out a band logo, we went on tour and won a van to tour the country, and everything was great.
But then came the Solo Mode. I didn't try out the Solo Career until after the first night we had it. The night we did get it, I was lying in bed thinking up of all these cool band names I was going to name my solo project. But then after work, I come home, crank it up, but then find that you don't get to name your band, pick out a logo, or even really go on tour and win vans and tour buses and get fans. Nope, all your doing is playing a set of songs that progessivly get harder as you move up the ladder. The only good thing about solo mode is that I've been using the same character that I made with my wife and in solo mode you still earn cash to buy clothes and instruments.
So yes, the game does have some very good qualities. You get to design your own very own unique rocker, you get to buy all these cool clothes and tattoos and hair **** and all these instruments. The multiplayer is in fact fun if you have someone to share it with. Unfortunetly, if your like me, and you dont have very many friends, especially ones into video games, then you kind of get the short end of the stick.
If they had put the same amount of effort and ****into the solo mode as they did the multiplayer, then I would probably absolutely love this game. But since the solo mode is rather lacking, I'm kinda disappointed really.
The game does have a great soundtrack tho. I love that it has a NIN song and that south park song with Timmy is funny as hell and a blast to play.
The other thing is to, I'm not good at the drums or the vocals, which just leaves the guitar. I've played the original guitar hero and liked it, so playing the guitar isn't that bad. But the easy mode on Rock Band is just that, too easy. But then when I bump up the difficulty to Medium, it becomes too hard for my brain to keep up.
All in all, it's a great game, but in the end, it'll probably be just a game that I only play when my wife and I have free time together.
