Fantastic multiplayer  

Better late than never, well lets start this. I played this game because of the drums. But whats the most important thing about this game? Yes, the music and I was highly disappointed with it, there was like 4 or 5 good songs. Its great that it has drums but you need better songs. But overall god to play.

Don't Start a Band when you have Rock Band

Pros Cons
Awesome audio  
Addictive gameplay  
Innovative concepts  
Fantastic multiplayer  

Rock Band is one of my favorite games on the 360 and with good reason. It has a great soundtrack on-disc, even more music on the "Music Store", and the peripherals are a blast to play. The drums is the like the major selling point. Everyone bought Rock Band to try out the drums. They are awesome. My only complaint is that the drums' pedal is very weak and can break easily. This game is 10x better when you play it with friends. You can also play against other people online. Overall, its a must-own.

The Ultimate Party Game

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Not enough content
Innovative concepts Repetitive gameplay
Just plain fun  

I REALLY like this game, and what it did for the genre. It was only a few years ago that this genre REALLY took off an thanks to this title it is continuing its upward momentum. The drums are a huge hit for me and the set list is robust.

Still my biggest complaint is lack of bands/songs that I know and like. I also don't like the fact that I have to play the SAME SONGS over and over again in Tour mode in order to advance (there are only so many times I can play "learn to fly" before I go crazy).

All in all this is the epitome of a party game and perfect when I have friends over!

The original Rock Band is responsible for pushing the Guitar Hero formula to the next level -- drums, vocals, and ample DLC. Unfortunately, the cheap plastic guitars and iffy drum pad don't feel as solid as the ones from Guitar Hero III. I also had a real problem with the confusing interface: getting four drunken players to cooperate on the character selection screens is a real chore. Rock Band 2 looks better in every way, but the surprise is that Guitar Hero: World Tour looks like the new king in this space -- the guitar and drum peripherals are superior.

Rockband quite literally rocked our worlds when it first hit the scene in 2007. When we had the privilege of previewing the game in the GamePro office, there was always a group of folks staying late or coming in on weekends to play the game. If it can make us want to spend even more time with our stinky, smelly co-workers... imagine how fun it is with your friends.

Rock Band

I Love This Game It's My Favorite! The Compeling gameplay ontop of the excellent music choice has made this game sit at the top of my list since 12/31/07 when I bought it. I recomend it to any Deep Purple, Iron Maide, Molly Hatchet, or just a music fan.

best game

the best game i have. Everything about this game is awsome. Singing is a little hard and some people should stay away from the mike whether they like the song or not.

Rock Band a.k.a. Guitar Hero 4?

Rock band is just Guitar Hero IV only with drums and a microphone. Seriously people, how many Guitar Hero-like games can they make with out it getting boring or old?
