 Biggest Disapointment of the Year!!! March 17, 2008
11 out of 24 found this review helpful
I'm writing this as a review of the US version as the UK version release date has yet to be announced (6+ Months after the US version came out!!!!).
You've proberbly read all the positive comments about this game but let me tell you the truth. Let me tell you why this game is not going to be worth buying.
Firstly Rockband 2 will be announced shortly. The US has had this game for over 7 months. Since the average sequel takes 1 1/2 years to come out and the average sequel is announced 6 months before it's release date. It is fair to say that by the time Rockband 1 comes out over here Rockband 2 will be released within a few months.
Secondly, this game only has 40 tracks on it. It is designed so that you have to buy downloadable tracks at around 1-2 a track. Guitar Hero has 70+ tracks per game. To get 70+ tracks on Rockband you will pay 30-60 on top of the actual game (which is expected to be around the 150 mark). You could say it is a bit of a con!
Thirdly, you could spend lots of money on content and when Rockband 2 comes out you will have to buy it again, because it may not be compatible.
The graphics are not that good. They have an enhanced PS2 look. They are nowhere near the quality of Guitar Hero 3.
You can design your own rockstar... sounds good... until you realise with all the displays on the screen you cant see hardly anything. It really defeats the point and is a total waste of a charector creator.
You can create a band... but if there is only you playing.. you will only see the charector you created. So if you wanted a punk band look - only your charector would look "punk". The other band members would just be random.
The guitar/drum note display is not as easy to see as the Guitar Hero franchise. It can get very frustrating on the harder settings.
The quality of the instruments are very poor. There are hundreds of reports of the instruments breaking and them having to be replaced. Rumours are that the UK delay is due to EA having to make additional instruments to satisfy all the US customers with broken ones. Does'nt bode well for the UK.
Dont waste your hard earned cash on this. If you really must play it. Rent it or buy it secondhand.

Surely this can not be allowed, right so they sell you this massive box with loads of instruments in, you get it all set up.....what no game but how, but why, ohhh thats right the UK is a more well off country with a hell of a lot less people than the US. We can charge them twice as much for the instruments......and the game seperate. Not that you can do anything with the instruments without the game. DO NOT BUY THIS TILL THEY SORT THIS SHARADE OUT.

I hope EA are looking at these reviews, this comments page is almost turning into a forum. I refuse to pay 140 for this when you can buy a brandnew xbox 360 with hard drive and 4 games for 159. Who are the idiots?? I think the only people that could comfortably afford this is a premiership footballer.

I was looking forward to this game so much.
But after seeing how we're being taken for mugs with the UK/US price difference I've decided enough is enough and I'm refusing to buy it.
