4 of 5 Fun with Friends Thursday, March 05, 2009
Rich from Schaumburg IL  

Fun with friends otherwise it collects dust. Not something I would use as a single player.

5 of 5 Great as advertised Friday, January 16, 2009
Karl from Dallas, TX  
You want a challenging game? This is it. I had played this on an xbox360 at a friend's house and it was pretty cool... so I ended up getting a ps3 for Christmas and this was the 1st game I bought. It has not disappointed at all. Days of entertainment (soon to be months). You'll want to do the drum modification though, the mousepad way (see youtube, don't do socks). Just cut some mousepad circles that fit the top of the drums and double-stick them on. It's helps a TON with drum head response and lowers the volume of the stick hitting the surface of the head. When you don't have anyone else to play with, just hook up wirelessly via the internet and bamm. Instant band. Love it so far.

5 of 5 Great Game!!! Sunday, December 21, 2008
Joey from Denver, CO  
This game is great. I love the wireless instruments, however I wish they would have made the mic wireless too. Other than that, a great game to play alone or even better at parties.

5 of 5 I'm not a hardcore gamer, but... Monday, December 08, 2008
rick from chicago  
I love this game. I rarely even turn on my PS3 but have truly enjoyed playing this alone, online, and especially with friends. The quality of the instruments to this point seems great. My only annoyance at this point is that the wireless controls will turn off after a few minutes of non-use (naturally), but when re-awoken will occasionally switch the controller ID number. It isn't a big problem, all you have to do is hold the PS3 button and change the controller settings back to the original ID, but it is a nuisance. Recommended. Excellent social gaming experience.
