Unless there's something super-special-and-amazing about the game play in this one, it's gonna crash and burn in spectacular fashion.

I feel so sorry for this game; Rock Band 3 stuff completely took the wind away from their sales with the whole "use real instruments ROCK IT REAAAAAAAAAL" thing.

Yeah, this is what I came to post. Poor dudes, so much effort and planning only to get completely upstaged. Still, maybe the point about them aiming for a Walmart crowd is a valid one.

Wow, really? They call out Rock Band and Guitar Hero in the trailer? This is a guaranteed failure.

Trailer seemed a bit arrogant with its message tbh. 
 
I still dont care for these types of games. Playing my real instruments and not being limited by anything is still more fun to me. 
 
But i guess this could be good for people who like these games? Unless it becomes too complicated for them. Although the fan base for rock band/guitar hero is so large, it would probably be difficult to shift them away towards something else.

Man, that drum setup looks dumb. It's nice that the thing is easy to store, but I still would rather use my Rock Band 2 kit with the triple cymbal expansions.

Be careful Rock Band.  Airstrike drums are even more realistic than your drums.  Plus the interface is SO much better, and those animations?  Damn.  They should just halt production of all other music games so they can quit before it's too late.

I was with them up until the air drums. The real guitar looks cool but the air drums just look stupid.

Ugh, the interface they have reminds me of Rock Revolution. Also, the game looks stupid, Rock Band 3 is doing something similar to their "real guitar," and it has... gasp... drums you can actually hit. And a library of over 100 songs ahead of theirs...

Hate to hate and I know the Bombcast covered this in depth but going out of your way to make the guitar experience so "real" just to turn around and add "air-drumming" to it has me absolutely baffled.
 
On the bright-side, at least the trailer looks like it cost less than a Tim and Eric skit.

This could be interesting, depending on how it's done.  Might finally shut up people that go "it's not like playing a real guitar" too if it's really well done.
