Rock Band is a great music game, but it's probably not for everyone...

Rock Band is the new game by Harmonix, the creators of Guitar Hero, and instead of just focusing on the Guitar, you get to play drums, sing, and play bass. It's a really great concept for a music game. This game introduces probably the first "realistic" drumset for a game. It has 4 different colored pads and a working bass pedal. It's really fun to play the drums, but it's hard as well. If you have friends over, you can play this all new mode called "Band World Tour". It's like living the life of a rock star. You travel to different cities, playing various gigs, and the better you play, the more money and fans you earn! Simple right? But here comes the hard part. In Band World Tour, Rock Band will force you to play on harder difficulties if your not already playing on Expert. If your just a beginner, Band World Tour might not be right for you because overtime, you will not earn any fans if you keep playing on Easy or Medium. I don't really like this feature. There's no fun if you can't play on a specific difficulty. So I guess Band World Tour is only for people who are experienced. But there's no need to fear, Solo mode is here! If you don't have friends over (or no friends at all :( ) Leave the band and start your own Solo career! It's not as deep as Band World Tour, but if your just starting Rock Band, you should probably go for this mode. On Solo Career, you will not be forced to move up on a difficulty. Only play on Easy? Go ahead, practice your Axe-Grinding skills, or your drumming, or even your vocals! Now let's go on to the important part of a music game. The actual songlist. Now this songlist is a love/hate thing. I personally love the songlist, but I don't know about you guys. Some of the best songs on this game are (Don't Fear) The Reaper, In Bloom, Dani California, Tom Sawyer, Reptilia, and many more. Other than the flaw on Band World Tour, Rock Band is still a great music game. Probably the best music game to date. Anybody who is a fan of Guitar Hero should pick this one up.
