 Rating:  - Lots of funI got this for my daughter and myself as she goes to our neighbors' house and plays theirs. I actually like the Rockband Wii version better because the guiter that comes with the set is wireless. I also got an extra guitar so four people can play together. I have not tried that yet. When I do, I will update the review. So far this is lots of fun and even if you are not good at singing you can still enjoy yourself. You get booed a few times, but as you practice you get better ... Read More Rating:  - Entertaining, But As Limited As Wii ComesIt's Rock Band. It's fun. For those of you expecting the PS3 or Xbox 360 versions: why would you? If you own a Wii, and have seen the other platforms, don't expect the same level of graphics. Just a few bullet points: - Just like the guitar controller is hard for guitarists, the drums are tricky for drummers for two reasons - most drummers don't read music on a kit and the pads are counter-intuitive from a typical kit. You get over it though. - The lack of online play / ability ...

But after playing with Rock Band for just over a week, and noticing a lot of the negative reviews, mostly due to comparisons to versions of the same game on other platforms, i felt i really ought to provide some of my feedback. I don't own an XBOX or a PS3. I wish i did - but.. i'm too cheap, and my kids are still too young (3 and 7) for the type of games that are popular ... Read More Rating:  - Don't Bother with the WiiRock Band is the best music/rythm game out there, no question about that. But only for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The PS2 version of the game took all the extra fun outside of playing songs and stripped it away. Thats what you get with the Wii version. A shell of what Rock Band truly is. Wii owners, wait until Rock Band 2 comes out this year, it will have updated instruments, and a full Rock Band experience. Rating: - Wii is a great family gaming console, how about some family music!Instead of Rock Band, how about Pop Band? The Wii audience is generally younger and families, how about some tunes for families? I would much rather have my 9 year old son and 5 year daughter play a game that has Phil Collins songs from Disney movies instead of these harder rock songs. The platform has been developed, how hard could it be to make sets of songs for other music tastes? |
