Rock Band Review |

This has to be the ultimate party game. Endless hours of fun for everyone involved! Except maybe the singer.... perhaps 5 hours of fun for the singer... if they aren't drinking a lot of water. |

Rock Band Review |
|
The interesting thing about the game Rock band is that it manages to be at once a game, an instruction of how to play an instrument on a basic level, and an introduction to new music.
First of all, as a pure game-playing experience it (ahem) rocks. The falling notes are not hard to get used to, the difficulty curve is pretty good, and new techniques are gradually introduced and perfected as the songs increase in difficulty and you as the player bump up to a higher grade of song in pursuit of a great challenge. There is a lot of variety in the songs (despite an over-abundance of songs that I would imagine many would have no desire to sing if they wish to keep their vocal chords intact), and downloadable content in theory gives the game indefinite longevity (as long as you have a limitless wallet). The average person who isn't really a gamer, will likely not be this game's audience despite hopes to contrary of those trying to bridge a generation gap. In other words, despite downloading a couple of Blondie songs and Margaritaville for my parents, the rest of the songs were by and large just too edgy for them (please keep in mind I'm 27, your milage will vary). While there is some great fun to be had playing single-player, a lot of the downloadable songs have large sections where you will just sit there if you are playing in solo mode. Fortunately all the songs you unlock in solo mode become available for anyone to play in your band, so you don't have to slave through every single venue and song if there's just one addict and bunch of casual players. Presentation-wise the menus, background music, ect is quite nice, but I do wish it would default to the mellower songs in the menus lest my parents get irritated by the MENU music. I also absolutely hate the intro the game. Horrible. The player avatars can be quite amusing as well, but they suffer from the same lack of variety, having most of their outfits suited to extreme hard-rock/punk/grunge bands and almost nothing that a mainstream rock band would be caught dead in. Not that it's terribly irritating. It would just be nice to have 20 main outfits I would like for a character instead of 3 or 4 (not everyone is into spikes and leather). If you buy the instrument bundle as I did, you will want to beware of bad instruments, and particularly the guitar. The first one I had broke after a month, the replacement was already broken (the first had a whammy bar break and the second had a bad tilt function). I ended up replacing it with a guitar hero explorer which works perfect and is much more responsive and sturdily built (and much much louder with it's unceasing clacking). If I had the purchase to make over again, I would bought just the game a good guitar controller, then purchased a drum kit and microphone separately (haven't had any problem with either of those yet). The real thing that keeps me coming back to this game is its best and worst feature. The music. A lot of the songs are too edgy even for me, but I have to play them to unlock more songs. Fortunately as I progressed I am finding about 1 in 4 songs I actually enjoy hearing or playing. And the results are a little surprising to me, as songs by bands I had never heard of or didn't particularly care for grow in my with practice. If you like discovering new music you will likely enjoy this aspect. If your musical taste is decidedly un-rock, you need to steer clear of this game and wait for Pop Band or Country Band to come out (complete with banjo controller!). Personally I went from somewhat disappointed by the songs to enjoying many of them greatly, and the memorization and practice needed to get good as songs I find very enjoyable as well (a sensation familiar to side-scrolling shooter fans and anyone who enjoys music games in general). This game is fun. But it's more fun if you find people to join your band. Rock on! |

Best Fun Game for Rockers - |
Rock Band Review |
|
Better than Guitar Hero and more song selections. RockBand gives you the option for Guitar or Bass. I did try the drums and it was good. If you follow YOUTUBE's instructions on drums, you will get the hang of it. Guitar Hero is a big disappointment for me-why buy another game disk year after year of improvements. It kind of reminds me of microsoft never ending improvements of windows software. I really enjoy Rockband. |

Rock Band Review |
|
As a former avid fan of the Guitar Hero series, I was skeptical when my friends told me about Rock Band. I thought it would just be a rip off of GH. Rock Band is serious fun, especially for a group, and with all the downloadable content that's available and the ability to export the songs into Rock Band 2, this is the game to have! |
