5 of 5 This game Rocks!! Sunday, February 24, 2008
John from Catonsville, MD  

Takes Guitar Hero to a new level...Whole Family gets involved. The only bummer is that does not include a Bass guitar. I hear that extra guitars will be available around April 1st for Rock Band, then more can join in the fun

5 of 5 just buy it Wednesday, February 20, 2008
L-Doctoro from St Pete FL  
What can be said that hasnt already been said? There's tons of great gameplay here for both single play and multiplayer. Lots of great addon download content and tons more on the way. If you have an HDTV make sure to spend a few minutes doing a "manual calibration". Rock on.

5 of 5 Rockband Rocks! Thursday, February 14, 2008
Blake Purdy from North Hollywood, CA  
Ordered with an approved buy.com credit account and saved an additional $30 off the price. It's a great deal to bring down the cost of owning this game. Even with shipping it's less than purchasing it in the stores with your card. I gave the game 5 out of 5 for difficulty because it can be adjusted to suit your skill level. This game is a lot of fun to play and really teaches you rhythm along with developing your hand/eye coordination. The only con I have is the guitar is not compatible with Guitar Hero or vise versa.

5 of 5 AWESOME! Wednesday, February 06, 2008
A Gamer from aliso viejo, ca  
This game is the only reason why I bought a PS3. It's crazy fun and well worth the money. This is probably the best party/group game ever made. Anyone who plays this for 5 minutes gets totally addicted. The PS3 version comes with a wireless guitar (very important!). All the components are well made and the game-play is fantastic. Starting your own customized band and touring the nation is addictive. Best of all, you can keep buying new songs from the PS network.
