Rating: - Great...for a little while
Let me start off by saying that I LOVED this game. The way its setup, any of my friends and I can jam to some pretty cool songs, like Dani California and Enter Sandman. In fact, we played so much that in three weeks, my drum sensors got screwy, the whammy bar on the guitar broke, the lift-and-rock power feature on the guitar died, and my whole set got extremely run down. This was really disappointing because we would all love to think that we can play on these machines as if they were real, after all that is the point of the game. Also, the drum pads are really loud, and from a short distance their sound matches the nuisance of construction above a hotel room.
Let me reiterate-I LOVED this game, but it quickly gave out.
As a side note, those who don't have Xbox Live will find that the songs get boring-fast.
Good product, Harmonix, and now Rock Band II is shining, but I just wish they could have figured those things out with this one.
