Great, Except...

This would be a great game, but we found so many flaws in just the first few hours playing it, they overwhelmed any fun we had. First, the instructions are so poorly written they are useless, and we spent the first few hours just trying to figure out how to navigate the menus. As others note, the guitar controller is horrendous, so I won't belabor that point. The microphone sent with the game did not function at all and we will have to replace it. After reading several of the posted online comments at the game's website, malfunctioning (or nonfunctioning) controllers are not an uncommon problem, sad to say. We don't own Guitar Hero, so I can't make any comparisons.

On the positive side, when the game functions, it is a blast! The easy settings are very easy, making it fun to learn the instruments. The tutorials are good, the only exception being that when you want to repeat them, you have to listen to the aren't-I-cooler-than-you intro over again. That gets annoying if you're having to repeat a section several times (eh hem, some of us had trouble learning the drums.) Spouse and I did have fun playing together, and liked that we could have different difficulty settings. Would I buy it again? I'm on the fence. I wish the manufacturer would read the postings at its own website and fix some of the more major issues it has. You might check out that website and decide for yourself based on user complaints.

My 2 sons purchased this game for a playstation 3. They have had a blast and even my youngest son has taken the microphone to sing. It will keep them entertained for hours and really stretches their imaginations. They become so engrossed in "rocking out" that they almost look like zombies!

Great Fun and Enterainment

Let me first say this, I played this game a few times at my friends house on his Xbox 360 and it was great. I have Guitar Hero III for my Playstation 3 and I have 2 Les Paul wireless controllers, So I decided to buy this game for my PS3 and sell the Rock Band guitar...BAD IDEA, I bought the product on amazon so I had 2 days to wait for my game to come in the mail. I purchased the songs I wanted ahead of time and I received my Rock Band and i'm hyped up and ready to play...then BAM I find out the Les Paul Guitar Hero wireless guitars are not compatible with Rock Band because Activision and Harmonix are both greedy and both want money. This pisses me off because I have to shell out another $50+ to get another guitar for Rock Band if I want to enjoy a full band. So if I keep Rock Band I will have to have 4 guitars in total. One for GH3 and one for RB. I like the GH3 guitars much better but it all comes down to money.

If you own GH3 and plan to buy this game, be prepared to shell out more money for an extra guitar. This game is really fun but this incompatibility issue drops the overall rating for this game. Get the Xbox 360 version if you have a 360.

Love it

I like the songs better than Guitar Hero (any of them). Love the drums.

Downloadable content has been really good so far and is poised to be even better as time goes on.

Five out of Five.

I played on Xbox but...

Rock Band is one of the greatest games of the 7th gen. consoles. It's like the first time you ever played guitar hero times 5. The drum console is great and the microphone is decent. If they gave you a bass controller, and if the songs didn't suck, and if the vocals weren't so fing hard it'd be a four star game

Good just wish..

wish there was headset support in the game lobby, not bieng able to talk to the players while picking a song or waiting is frustrating. Other than that this is the best music game to date.

A christmas present for me

Bought this for my children for Christmas. The entire family played the game and all worked together. The game was great, and it kept the entire family together, was fun and I can't wait until I can buy additional instruments.

Rock Band Rocks
