    When I first looked at this game I had high hopes that it would be as good as Rock Band 2, it turned out that it wasn't even as good as the first Rock Band.
    I didn't even get halfway through the game before just not really wanting to play anymore, A first when it came to the series.
    It was like they were trying to clone Rock Band and failed...badly

    To be honest, the customization is ok, but the actual gameplay needs some improvement. Sometimes, the snare won't register no matter how hard I hit it and the multiplier will reset for no reason if I play the drums. The vocals are actually good, but one should beware any foreign language songs. The guitar I got is broken (won't sync up) and I doubt the new one I will get will beTo be honest, the customization is ok, but the actual gameplay needs some improvement.

Sorry, GH fans, but all I got was disappointment. Expand

    A fun title, to be sure, but it's also a disappointment in a lot of respects. A number of things it tries to accomplish were already done better in Rock Band, which you might figure would have provided a simple blueprint to be followed and expanded up, but that's not the case.
  2. Okay, so the main bulk of it is yet another rendition of a game we all know by now, but it's easily the best rendition of that game that we've seen so far. When you factor in the Music Studio and all the creative doors that it opens, it's clear that this is by far and away the best rhythm game available on the market today.
  3. People who love music video games won't get tired of this one. Not only does it include standard modes of play, but there's also co-op, face-off, battles, several online modes, and a very compelling music studio that allows you to create and share songs with the world.
