- No Guitar Hero...
I was very excited about this product upon purchase. I am an avid Guitar Hero fan and I thought that this would be just as great. It was fun for about 2 weeks, only with a group of people. Solo play is boring. Guitar is not as user-friendly as Guitar Hero guitar, drums require a seat shorter than the set. I would recommend it for group fun, but overall the game is disappointing.

- Rockin out to Rock Band
So fun and the drumming is like really playing the drums so the skill is transferable. My niece's and I are planning to go on tour next year with the thing so keep your eyes out for us.

Rating:

- Great Fun
This has been great fun for the kids and I've enjoyed trying to play the drums, guitar, vocal... Arrived in great shape and the amazon price was $40 less than the local game store.

- Rock Band Rocks
This is a great game for multiple players. Great songs. Tons of Fun.

- Great game, songs get old though
Porobably should have bought for my new xbox I just bought so I can buy some more songs. The songs that come on disk are great, just after playing them 5 times in one day, they can get very boring. Honestly, recommended for 360 or PS3 though. Tour does kinda stink compared to xbox 360 and ps3 version as well... but w/e 100 bucks, cheap buy.
