Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great for families and couples! Comment: I won't say much here that other reviews haven't said much more comprehensively, but I wanted to add my two cents to the discussion. Rock Band is one of the funnest games I have for the 360. I never got into guitar hero too much, so I was a bit of a newbie (though we played tons of Karaoke Revolutions...). Let me list some pros and cons. Pros: 1) It is great for families and couples. My wife always lost her mind with boredom when I'd want to play games. Now, she loves gaming as much as I do. We play together all the time, and we formed a band with my sister and brother-in-law and play several times a week. It's great for kids, couples, roomies, you name it. Best party game ever! 2) Great marketplace. We must have downloaded dozens of songs by now. Everything from Nine Inch Nails to Black Sabbath to Boston (and in a couple weeks a whole album by The Who). They promised that every Tuesday they'd release a song. In reality, every Tuesday, they release between 3-10 songs. There is an amazing catalog of downloadable content for every flavor of music and every skill level. 3) Skill levels. The skill levels work very nicely. If you are an old guitar hero dog and play on expert, but your girlfriend wants to sing and needs to play on easy, no problem. You each pick your own difficulties and have a great time. 4) Nice Instruments. The instruments are of good quality. We know a couple of people who broke their kick drum, but I suspect they were spazzing out on it. Ours is fine! Cons: 1) There is no Bass tour mode. You can only play a guitar tour and get money for your character if you play lead guitar. You can do a solo tour on drums, microphone, or lead. They just dissed the bass! I love the bass; it's my favorite instrument. But I'm the band's stepchild who can only brush up in boring old "practice mode." They really need to fix this when RB2 comes out in September!!! (Please guys, read your forums and fix this!!!) 2) It is expensive. But this isn't even too bad a con for. I haven't had the need to buy any games since I got this thing in early December. It has probably saved me money since I'd have bought a couple of games I'd have lost interest in by now. 3) Not very guitar hero friendly. Many of the guitars from GH and RB don't work on each others' games. This really sucks, but I suspect there's no getting around this as the two megacorps battle for supremacy and our dollars. But, those cons don't hardly take it down a star. This is a great game. Play it with friends, play it solo, play it online. It is worth every penny. Customer Rating: Summary: too many mess ups Comment: I'm not sheree im her son using her account but this game is fun it has pretty good songs but when i first bought it the multiplayer didnt work so i tried swithching out the drums with the microphone and i tryed all sorts of things then when i plugged in my drums they didn't work and nothing else did so i restarted my xbox 360 and then it wouldn't read the disc so i had to go back to Target to get another disc(i just got the game i didn't get a whole new set).I called Best Buy they tried telling me to estart it because the new disc of rock band worked but it still didnt read any of the instruments.Best buy kept me making me restart it and put the connections of the instrument in diffrent slots(connections for the controller or other things to hook up).So i was taking to best buy over the phone nothing worked so i just took it back to target and my mom said you can get it when all the bugs are out and i know someone else who bought it but it didn't work either so im waiting until they starting selling stable 1s and i heard from people the ps2 1s are catching fire from the glitches and mess ups in it and did i mention sometimes when i put int he rock band disc my xbox 360 would start rattling (happened 2wice).so i recommend to buy guitar hero because i and everyone i know has had no problems with it and in the guitar hero world tour(guitar hero 4)its going to have drums with symbols on it Customer Rating: Summary: Great game, needs better controllers Comment: I will not add much to the review about the game itself - you all know what it is, it is wonderful and fun, especially if you download additional songs so that you do not grow tired of the selection. My one issue is the quality of the drum kit and guitar controller. Mine are both holding up, but the first night we played the game something inside the guitar started shifting around and the strum bar went...well, limp. It still works, it is just a little odd. The drums are fine except for how loud they are - also I guess I got the first run drums and they miss quite a few clean hits. One major piece of advice: buy the official Rock Band Drum Silencers! They do reduce the sensitivity of the kit, but if you are just playing for fun these will improve your gameplay by leaps and bounds. I used to hate playing the drums, but the silencers make it a lot more fun and the rebound makes it so that your hands do not hurt as much after playing for a while - even though you have to hit the drums harder to register a hit. Customer Rating: Summary: Great birthday Gift Comment: I purchased this for my nephew on his 11th birthday and when I ask him about the game all he has to say is AWESOME. He plays this game for about 2 hours a day and never gets tired of it. Rock Band Special Edition Xbox 360 Customer Rating: Summary: Love it! Comment: Rock Band is so awesome. I recommend getting it to anyone. When you're playing it you don't think about anything else, it's just so much fun. More Reviews
