Rating: - This aint a game.....it's a Lifestyle!!
Dont be lame, People moaning about how much this 'game' costs. Nobody made you pay that much.

Seriously tho, i forked out £160 for the bundle, and within a day i'd got my money's worth...

3 months later and i still think Rock Band is the best thing ever, from the drums to the guitar, to vocals it's Straight Up THEE best thing to hit the consoles since the day consoles began!

If you like Rock Music, thats an added bonus, if you dont and your just looking for something to party with friends, that doesnt involve the Wii ...then this is for you!

Forget the Price, you wont be sorry!

Rock on ....

Rating: - Rock off
I do love music games like this and the guitar hero franchise. The price for the instruments & mic are unbelievable though. It's a shame that Guitar Hero is pricing itself around £150 as that makes the problem worse. For that reason I'm out.. to get the game solus and use my GHII & GHIII guitars. If and when things like drums and mics reach a reasonable price then I shall be tempted

Rating: - Amazing
This game is simply amazing. In my view much better than Guitar Hero. Why?
The amount of content available for download is outstanding, they release at least 3 new songs every week and throw in an album every now and then. Plus the tracks are cheaper than Guitar Hero tracks (and you're getting 4x you're moneys worth due to the amount of instruments).
The gameplay is better, everything you wish Guitar Hero did back in the day Rock Band does and so much more; for instance the goofy circular dome things that represent notes in Guitar Hero are replace with sleaker and more precise bar.
Compatibility. Every guitar for GH will work on Rockband but not vice versa (GH refused to do this so Activision are to blame). Also 90% of the ... Read More:

Rating: - Fun until the novelty wears off.
Played this with 6-7 friends a couple of weeks ago at a party. We played for a couple of hours before becoming bored and moving on to other games. I found the novelty factor of this game wore off incredibly quickly. The whole "band" gimmick will ensure it shifts plenty of boxes, but to be honest I can't fathom how these types of games became so popular. Pressing coloured buttons in the right sequence doesn't spell fun for me, and if I want to sing i'll make a night of it and go to a karaoke bar in Chinatown!

Rating: - Game Review, not price
Since I'm reviewing the game itself, I would say that the price of the peripherals is terrible, but if you should choose to boycott it, the developers may cancel further shipping.

I rate the game a 5 star in terms of fun. The guitar segments of the game have a guitar-hero feel, with improved bass gameplay to suit the backups in your new virtual band. Single player is therefore essentially Guitar Hero, minus the encores and purchased bonus songs (you must complete a bonus setlist to unlock these).

Fans of any songs in the game will definately enjoy vocals, even though working through the single player vocals can be tiring, and you probably won't find yourself going back to sing a lot like the other two.
