Advantages: Fun Disadvantages: You need to buy a usb hub before using two instruments and microphone at the same time.
This is one of the best games I have ever played. I had to wait a few weeks to play this but it was more than worth it. After discovering that I also had to buy a USB hub to be able to use the two instruments and a microphone at the same time, we were set up and ready to go.

I found the drums difficult at first as my co-ordination is also not great. The guitar is the best thing for me to stick with, I can normally complete songs and get a score in the high 90%. This is something that can unite and entertain friends and families for hour and hours on end. ... more
This is one of the best games I have ever played. I had to wait a few weeks to play this but it was more than worth it. After discovering that I also had to buy a USB hub to be able to use the two instruments and a microphone at the same time, we were set up and ready to go. The actual setting up did not take long and after going through the tutorials we began playing. This is a game that is really eay to pick up but, as it gets progressively harder, becomes really frustrating (but in an enjoyably challenging way). Singing is a talent which I am seriously lacking but I was able to complete songs without too much distress. I found the drums difficult at first as my co-ordination is also not great. The guitar is the best thing for me to stick with, I can normally complete songs and get a score in the high 90%. This is something that can unite and entertain friends and families for hour and hours on end.
Advantages: able to play as a band Disadvantages: finding people who can sing or play the instruments
I was Bought rock band as a pressent for my brithday, I played the drums for 10 years and gave it up years ago, I always told people I missed playing them, so this was the idea behind the gift. The game itself is excellent, ive always been a fan of guitar hero, but the added ability to have the drums and a singer on aswell really adds to the playability of the game, Unfortunatly im unable to find anyone who is capable of holding a note and playing ... ...unfortunatly with rock band the game there is not many songs i knew the words to sing along with, creep, bettle bump and 1 or 2 others.
all in all an excellent gift for anyone of any age. play it everyday to the dismay of my family and neighbours. ...

Advantages: Makes you feel like a rock god, is great entertainment Disadvantages: Have a sore throat and I am tired from performing
Since getting this game, me and my flatmates have barely slept and my throat is sore. We have played this game probably much more than the recommended amount but it is so addictive. None of us are musical in the slightest but all of a sudden we all think of ourselves as "rock gods." The choice of song is pretty good and you open up more as you complete each stage. There are a couple of difficult ones which I never heard of but once your in the zone ... ...well known ones, these are fantastic for a warm up before properly hitting the stage. We had a house party and everyone had a go, so it was great entertainment. If you aren't to sure about whether to buy this, then the simple answer is yes. Even if you can't sing or play the guitar, it makes you feel like you can. Stop sitting there reading this. GO AND BUY IT ...

Advantages: Another great opportunity to move away from the conversional gamepad Disadvantages: That drum kit isn't half loud.
Finally after a year of the game being out us poor old British Wii owners get to join in with the revolution that is ?RockBand 2?. The game is part of the ever increasing range of music and rhythm based genre games that have sprung up around us in the recent years. Having always been a big fan of the first game I was overjoyed when the sequel made its way into our household, as it made available a lot of features that were up till now reserved only for the likes of the PS3 and Xbox 360 owners. The game has again been produced by the company Harmonix who are the guys behind the original ?RockBand? title as well as creating the original ?Guitar Hero? series which would then be taken over by Neversoft.
Just how do WiiRock?
First off for those unfamiliar with this particular style of game the aim is to play along in ...
Advantages: It's awesome Disadvantages: I don't have the replica instruments yet
Released across the globe on September 9, 2009 (or 9/9/9) The Beatles Rockband represents the first time any of The Beatles' considerable catalog has been legally available in digital format. For any fan of pop?s biggest band, from the casual to the diehard, this represents a major milestone.
Versions of the game have been released for the PS3 as well as the xBox 360, but being a Wii family I went for this version. If you have played any other version of RockBand then the gameplay will be totally familiar. Early reviews have suggested that The Beatles hits selected for this release are actually less challenging if you have already completed any of the other games. Coming to this as a novice and without years of playing in seedy Hamburg bars behind me I find that the initial experience is leading me gently into the game ...
Advantages: Finally getting to play alongside the Fab Four in all their glory. Disadvantages: Game difficulty relatively easy in comparison to other games in the genre.
September 9th 2009 saw the release of the second single band orientated game in the RockBand game series; RockBand Beatles the release of this was to coincide with the release of the entire Beatles back catalogue in its new digitally remastered form. The game itself takes us through the musical history of the band whilst allowing us to rock out to a selection of the Fab Four?s greatest hits. As with previous RockBand titles the game developers Harmonix once again took the reigns with this one and along with the likes of Dhani Harrison (son of George Harrison) and Giles Martin (son of the Beatles music producer George Martin) helped to produce a game that is truly faithful to the Beatles look and sound throughout their career.
