 "Rock Band for the Wii -- In the Name of Rock and Roll" | 2008-11-11 |

I love my Rock Band for my Wii. I landed it for my birthday this past summer. It was the only item I had on my wish list at the time. I'm 39 years old, and love this game.
This game really brings out the fun and functionality of the Wii. You can sing, play drums, bass guitar, lead guitar until your hearts content. I love the components of this set.
The drum set, featuring Rock Band drumsticks, is the coolest drumkit I have ever played. I set it up for the first time on the night of my birthday, and felt like my name was Peter Criss from Kiss.
The guitar controller far outranks the Guitar Hero controller. It looks, feels and sounds like a real Fender Stratocaster. Sure it has the same set of buttons the Guitar Hero controller does, but baby, that other set of buttons is the real difference maker. The other set of buttons I'm referring to is the solo set. When the time comes down to getting in a real hot solo, or a big rock ending, just let loose on the solo buttons. Also you never need to insert a remote into this puppy.
The microphone brings out the vocalist in me. I have it on a real cool mic stand. Of course it needs a wireless mic holder, but that's a minor thing. Hearing my voice amplified through my home theater system in 5.1 surround is better than any studio setup.
As far as the interface goes, the USB hookup is awesome. The tutorials are really great. On a whole, if you're a musician like me, or have a real band to play with, get your hand on Rock Band.
Rock on Baby! |

Great game with or without multiple people.
The drums are VERY sturdy and reliable.
I've have been banging on them for months and no signs of damage
The spring in the Bass pedal is larger and thicker compared to the ones of the 360,PS3,PS2
The Guitar/Bass is OK, but not very useful
The fret buttons and very smooth but are VERY loud.
The strum bar has no give and feels useless.
The Microphone is great and made by Logitech.
It's USB so you can use it with your computer as well.
Might also work with the upcoming Animal Crossing for Wii.
Fun game has it's problems with No DLC(Downloadable Content)
Which is due to the Wii's storage problem
But this will be fixed in the upcoming RockBand 2 coming around December to the USA.

5-stars for fun, entertainment, ease of use
4-stars for limited selection of music, drum & mic not being cordless,
and being a bit expensive ---

My children were pleasantly surprised when the box arrived just a few short days after I order it.
I was at work when it arrived. They are 11 years old and had it all together and were playing it in no time. It is an absolute blast for all of us to play. Anyone could play. It's alot of fun. |

| Well, I was recently invited to a friend's BBQ and tried this out for the first time. The whole package came with a game disc which was scratched up. Best Buy clerk let my friend exchange the game disc for another one. However, the clerk reminded us that whole package should have been returned and replaced rather than only the game disc. The pieces were easy to put together but some friends had issue with the quality of the parts. The guitar had this head piece that was difficult to snap on. Also, the drum set seemed a bit unsecured but was corrected after reading instructions. The USB hub had some problem with recognizing the microphone but don't know if this is just a freak accident.br /br /The game disc has a couple of songs which was a letdown. But, these songs were fairly easy to sing to and play along. People were nervous about singing alone but you don't really hear it. The game console just monitors if you have the right tones (high, low, medium). Also, there is only the long notes where your voice is projected. Overall, you should start at the easy setting and then work up to difficult. Guitar was by far the easiest to do. Just follow the color scheme on the screen to the buttons on the guitar. The drums was just a tad bit harder since you are moving around each of the drums. After a while, just sit back and watch others since you get to see others polishing their skill. Well, it's a crowd-pleaser that everyone can't really screw-up too badly in the company of friends. |

| I bought this because we had adult children coming to visit. Little did I know that I would enjoy the game as much as they do! Rock Band gives everyone an opportunity to play at their level. We bought an extra guitar so we could include the bass player. GREAT way to have fun as a family! |
