Just as fun as Rock Band 2, with the added benefit of a keyboard and for those who want a real challenge, enhanced guitar and drums (not me). Plus I can move all my downloaded tracks over - still disappointed that the original Rock Band 2 setlist wasn't transferred, but overall a great game to rock out with.

Great casual game to play with friends. Although I first started with Guitar Hero (which is no more), the Rock Band series seems to be a little better overall with game play. It is a little more forgiving with accuracy, and you don't have to go through a half-ass put together story line like Guitar Hero. Pop it in and rock with friends.

Yep all Rock Band/Guitar Hero games that I played were basically the same and offered me nothing new other than the songs I could play. The instrument idea is a good one, but it won't hit a home run like the games did when they first came out. Might as well close it's doors on this type of game.

I think music games, like most casual genres, are a time-limited fad. They specifically target people who are more interested in rock music than in videogames, which immediately leads to difficulty in selling sequels. Casual gamers are much more prone to say, "Why should I buy a new one? My old one works fine," than people who spend a lot of time playing games as a hobby.This same situation, I think, is going to bite Nintendo in the butt when it comes to selling a Wii successor. All the soccer …

short fingers are not a disability. some chords may be harder to play, but you also have double jointed fingers which is an advantage for playing other chords cause you can hold down string combinations easier. Don't diss it till you try it.

I like the idea of learning to play an instrument, but for me, personally, it probably won't work. Mainly because I have short, stubby fingers - which is also why I would suck at piano. It's not so much I wouldn't put in the time, but that I don't think I am physically capable of stretching for those power chords. But if people took it seriously, you could potentially have an entire generation that could play guitar - I don't know if that's awesome or scary.

Guitar Hero and Rock Band made big impact in the way we play new age video games, but are they going stick around? Guitar Hero has recently closed it doors with dropping sales and Rock Band has triumphed as the winner. But is there still enough hype for people to continue to buy more games that simply focus on another band or artist? I think they are going at it all wrong, and they should stick to coming out with new songs to download for your existing game, cause there …
