Developed by Harmonix, developers of the blockbuster Guitar Hero franchise, Rock Band is an all-new platform for gamers to experience music, giving players the chance to rock in the shoes of the biggest guitarists, bassists, drummers and singers of all time as a solo superstar or as part of a hard rocking band. Rock Band delivers the most authentic music game ever by challenging rockers to master lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. Built on unprecedented deals with top record labels and music publishers, the music featured in Rock Band spans all genres of rock and includes many master recordings from legendary artists.
Party in a box! This game is AMAZING! It takes the whole "Guitar Hero" concept to a whole new level. Being able to create your rocker persona for the world tour is cool. You can modify everything from the physical, to the mood and type of rocker (goth, metal, etc).
Tour mode is fun, with 4 people total, pick your instrument ot vocals and get on the road. Managing the band is a cool feature. Trying to get new fans and more money with each venue is challenging. Getting new things to travel on, from a van to a tour bus opens up new and bigger venues. Bust a song and lose fans, buy new guitars, new gear, etc. It's really fun.
2 player modes are fun as well. Tug o war mode is pretty frantic, with both player trying to get the bar in their favor. Good stuff here.
THe track list could leave hardcore fans wanting more, but Harmonix is really good at listening to their fans. Through the magic of downloaodable content, many fans will get their musical wishes.
THe complete package is pretty pricey, but buying everything separate is even more expensive. Get 3 friends together and suddenly the price is cheaper splitting it 4 ways. Let each chose their instrument so they can get better at what they do and there you go.
Overall, a very fun party game, a blast to play! Highly recommended for music fans.
