A great party game that entertains all ages and reaches a new gamer audience.
The music on ROCK BAND is great and you can download more cool songs. Most of the songs are just like the originals.
The difficultly settings are pretty standard except the jump between medium and hard is sometimes too much. They could have made the gap smaller and made the gap between hard and expert larger.
ROCK BAND reaches a new audience of gamers. Women who never played first person shooter might love this game. You don't have to be musically inclined, although it helps. Children and adults enjoy it as well.
This game has taken multiplayer to a new level. If you get tired of playing drums switch to singing or bass guitar. You can play through songs over and over. The difficulty settings and variety creates endless hours of fun cooperative game play. You can even try singing and playing at the same time.
The audience responds to your game play. They will boo you as you starting messing up or cheer your successes.
The guitar playing is easier than Guitar Hero but the concept is the same.
The only issues the game has are the delay with certain TVs. This can frustrate you if you are hitting the notes on time with the music and the game says you are missing them. Just adjust the settings or find another TV.
The other draw back is the cost, but consider what you are getting. A mic, drum set, and two guitars as well as hours and hours of game play.
