1) Rock Band Review   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I bought this for my son who is 14. He has a blast with it. As far as I know he hasn't had any problems with it. Would recommend this for anyone who likes music!

2) Great Summer Fun for Teen Boys   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
My boys love this game. They have so much fun being in a 'rock band' and I enjoy hearing the songs of my own teen years!

3) Rock Band   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I ordered this for my son's 18th birthday, at his request. He has really enjoyed playing it! His friends came over and brought additional guitars and they had a blast!

4) Best Game Ever   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Best game ever, the guitar have the correct measure, have both keys for solo and regular play, the drums and the mic are great, best game i ever bought, better than guitar hero

5) A Great game. Some improvements could be made   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I dont need to add to all the glowing positivity that it credibly gains. So let me nit pick.This major one is the drum pedal snapping. So I suggest you reinforce it. Go to Loewe's and the lumber section. You'll find a flat metal hinge / plate with holes pre-drilled. Its about 5 inches long and 1.5" wide. Cost $1.07 or so. Get 2. The pedal will snap with use when you become more proficient. Google for a pic and notice where it snaps. Get machine screws and bolt down the pedal to reinforce it. Use Loctite when you do so. Its a mod you must do unless they fixed their flimsy design. I snapped my pedal and fixed it like the above. Works great now.The guitar fails too where you strum. Mine did not yet. My friends did. In terms of s/w pgming, it has has "Practice mode". However this mode does not score you. So you cant see your failure point clearly. Notice I said "clearly". If you find yourself failing on an exact spot, you'll see the screen going red before your applause/success bar plummets. There is no such metering in practice. Would be nice to have.Inspite of these, it is a splendid game. IF YOU LOVE music. Particularly, if you like to drum / sing / air guitar, with a captive audience by will/force. Or if you're a professional bathroom singer. Then you'll love it.Single player is fun. Replay value does exist if you like to play music. But multi-player is a hoot and where its at.Go ahead and buy it if you love music and particularly, ANY of the supplied musical instruments.
