Move over Guitar Hero
At first glance Rock Band looks like an overwhelming experience that we could only have imagined possible. It seems insane for one console game be able to have drums, guitar, karaoke, and bass all in one. Rock band has a soundtrack that can match any Guitar Hero soundtrack and has new songs to download each week. The songs all sound great, even though you can tell if a song has a cover, but it perfectly fine if you sacrifice the original to be able to play that song four different ways. Karaoke also sometimes is an actual substitute for some songs with not so good voices. The background action that occurs is actually worth mentioning, because instead of having points of movement that coincide with "star power." They are rocking out the entire time. It really feels like your playing together and having four players on one T.V. hasn't felt that right since you were lan partying the first Halo. If you can't have a bunch of people over the online works just fine and is still fun to play. The only negative i have about the game is that the hardware is known to break, but considering the GH3 wireless guitar has issues has well it evens out. Rock Band also will replace any faulty hardware. Other than that and the expensive $170 price point, Rock Band is an unforgettable experience.
