 SOOO MUCH FUN! May 23, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
First of all, I totally agree with the reviews on here - the overall price tag for the instruments and the game itself is ridiculous, and will probably lose EA a lot of orders. I would personally not get the whole kit + game for the current price.
However, I am lucky enough to own both a 'Guitar Hero' guitar-controller, plus a 'Singstar' USB microhphone. Therefore, I was able to just buy the drum kit for 70 quid, plus the game, which alltogether came to about 110. Although this is still expensive, I'm glad I was able to not buy the whole instrument set. Also, whenever I need an extra guitar for bass or rhythm, i can simply ask one of my mates to bring over their own Guitar Hero controller.
After only playing the game on the drum kit for a few hours today, I have to say that this is one of the best gaming experiences I have ever played. Its so damn addictive, and the choice of songs is also very good - very varied for every persons taste in rock music.
Like I said previously, I totally agree with the negative reviews for the price. However, if like me you own most of the instruments anyway, then I highly recommend purchasing the game and the drum kit to complete the experience. My mates will be over tonight so we can get drunk and rock the night away, and I can't wait!
Amazing May 23, 2008

Rock Band is truly amazing! Even though its quite pricey it is well worth the money.
I'm addicted to it after only a day of playing it with my friends, which is the best feature about it. Being able to play in a band makes the game so much more exciting and fun, especially when one of your mates is trying to sing!
I haven't had any trouble with the instruments even though i have read reviews saying they were very weak. Both the drums and guitar feel very sturdy.
The only problem ive had with it is the strumming can be annoying as it sometimes cuts off your continuous notes but its no biggy.
A must for anyone who can afford it!
it just a matter of waiting... November 16, 2007

Its all about patents
Unfortunately, here in the uk we have been once again shafted and will have to wait until 2008 for this one, but my friends... do not be hiesty and settle for Guitar hero III just because of the wait... as the saying goes good things come to those that wait
This game IS guitar hero III, plus drum hero, plus Bass Hero, Plus Front Man Hero... oh and it has better tunes (at least from a UK perspective) and.... The downloadable content is MEGA. By the time it comes out here the whole of NEVERMIND! By NIRVANA! Will be available for the game.
The whole game of creating the band and living it is a much deeper and richer experience than just working though a list of tracks in the guitar hero games. And how does it play... well its by the original developers who have also made drumming and singing games, so you know its just going to work perfectly. Initial reviews from the USA rate it between 9.5 and 10.
If playing alone you have the guitar, drum and vocal campaigns to play though, but then, Friday night with the boys (and beer) kicks in and this game comes into its own!
Do yourself a favour, wait... it will be worth it
And if your that desperate.. call of duty 4 and orange box are out there... plus mass effect is on its way!
Fantastic Game May 28, 2008

This game is great, it's very enjoyable alone, and bring a few friends round and it's a hoot, I'd recommend it to anyone.
P.S I don't give a damn about the price, theres nothing wrong with it as far as I can see, I could go into the prices on everything increasing, food, fuel and other necessities but I'd just be stooping to the level of the people whining about the price of this brilliant game. MUST HAVE!
Works with Guitar Hero 3 Controller May 30, 2008

This game works with the Guitar Hero 3 controller, so if you already have this, then this game is good value considering the quality track list and vast selection of downloadable songs.
