davekingston's Rock Band (Xbox 360) review

Every Tuesday Is Rock Band Day

Ok. So here we are 8 months in. Now we are waiting for Rock Band 2 to release in September! But as of right now, Im cool until then. Not only do I have the Bombcast to look forward to every tuesday, but Harmonix doing its best every week to keep this game fresh. I am a Rock Band Slave. Or should I say that I am a Harmonix Slave.

Hi, my name is Eric, and I am a Harmonix-holic. I have every song in my Rock Band library to date.

That felt better...

THE GOODS
Over 235 Songs in the library as of July 22, 2008. This is what I wanted from Guitar Hero 2 on the 360. This is a dream come true. Never a dull moment with music. An instant party hit. This will go down in history as the greatest party game of all time. The Guitar feels very nice after getting use to.

THE BAD
Band mode in multiplayer can only be played locally. Plus the songs get extreamley repetitive. Calibration can be an issue with sound if you are transporting this from one household to the next. Drums are LOUD, and not in the good way. Like I said, I have all the songs to date... my music menu is out of control.

BUY, RENT, OR PASS?
Buy it. The game will always keep its novelty due to the DLC component. Plus, when Rock Band 2 comes out....all of your songs will transfer over! Everyone will want to play this after they see you playing!

Get it, and Enjoy!!!

What's better than having one music god? Having four music gods. That's the overall message that Rock Band seems to shout at every possibility, why? Because it's true. As a multiplayer experience, Rock Band is without a doubt the best music rhythm game to date and arguably one of the best games ever.Without sounding too overdramatic, lets go over some of the finer points of the game itself. Within Rock Band you are immediatly given a choice of 4 instruments to play (unless you purchased the game...

 It seems like every year there is one game that I can't stop playing over everything else, and it surprises me. I would figure a game like Super Mario Galaxy or Bioshock would hold my attention for months, but some other game does it every time, and yeah it may not be a better game in terms of overall package, but it is damn close. Like Rock Band. For some reason, this ridiculously priced peripheral package is what I do nearly every night. Sure a rented game would take up five days s...
