Advantages: Brilliant fun, great music Disadvantages: Maybe too expensive for target audience
hero, as to not loose where your fingers are. Although as a positive all guitar hero controllers are compatible, and this one does come with buttons specifically designed for soloing.
The actual guitar parts are easier than guitar hero, so the more experienced gamer, may get board easier.
Mic / Vocals
----------------
I was very impressed with the quality of the microphone provided. It is an USB mic and any other usb mics can be used.
The vocal tour was a lot easier also than I expected, as I'm rather tone deaf! I can get through it on medium no troubles.
Drums
----------
Now the drums are the instrument that really shows off what this game is meant for, feeling like a rock star, as one of those instruments that not many people get to play often. The drums consist of 4 pads and the floor pedal acting as bass drum. Very ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Rock Band (Xbox 360)
Advantages: Be In a Rock Band! Disadvantages: High cost
One game I have always loved is Guitar Hero...I bought the original the day it came out.
But I'm a drummer, have been for years so I always thought how cool it would be to have a drum game. Then I heard about RockBand!
First off this game makes the best of both worlds...you can get your mates around and have a full band session or you can go solo and plough through career mode. The songs are good aswell, they tend to air on the "pop-rock" side and the game seems to favor "Indie-rock" There are a couple of Metal legends in there, and there is something satisfying about thrashing away to such legendary hits as "Enter Sandman".
Game play is simple enough aswell...hit a note as it scrolls down the screen...come on! That's pacman simple!...but that just adds to the game!, simple game play means you can jump right in and be ...
Advantages: Everything! Disadvantages: You may need to make a few modifications to your kit, worth it though.
character as well.
When you first get your character, he or she comes with a free instrument which is one of the most basic in the range you later have the choice to buy. Your character will be dressed in jeans and a black or white tee as a boy, or a black tee with denim skirt, tights and trainers as a girl.
Now to personalise this character further, you take him or her to the rock shop. You're given $100 initially, and get more from playing with that character. On solo you get all the money, on multiplayer it's split between the band.
The Rock Shop has several sections. The first allows you to buy clothes and accessories for your character. These range from gothic bondage style gear to glam rock to hippy to punk, depends what you're into. The clothes and accessories range from as little as $2 (for rings) to over $10,000 (eg: for the Dr ...
