    Lets put it this way. Guitar Hero and Rockband had a baby and this is the crap that came out. I like the soundtrack but the gameplay and graphics are just horrible. But on the bright side you can buy it for 3 dollars so if you just want to buy something cheap this is for you.

    I have played the career mode all the way with a Guitar Hero guitar and I really missed the point with the low ratings since it al worked well enough and even the "cover" soundtrack was perfectly executed. A good alternative to RB & GH series if you catch it at low price.

    This game lacks everything it sucks. And worse out of all the bad gameplay is that you have to buy the full 120$-140$ game it sucks don't buy it period.

    It's not too bad. The game-play is fine once calibrated properly. The visuals are okay, even though you should only be looking at the notes on your 2d fret-board (yes, a vertical 2d fret-board, make sure to adjust your eyes!) The soundtrack is good, and the covers are somewhat alright. A few other features and modes make it an alright purchase by today's standards.

    The vocals are all re-recorded (not well), the instrumentals are all off-beat. The tracklisting is pretty good tho.

  1. Despite its baffling looks, booming resonance, and asymmetrical layout, Rock Revolution’s controller is not actually the game’s biggest problem; it’s Rock Revolution’s note charts and the onscreen icons that make the game so joyless.
  2. Whereas Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour headline the music game genre, Rock Revolution is a scrappy cover band. Its presentation rips off Rock Band's, the scrolling notes are hard to keep up with, the career mode is unsatisfying and the song selection, while decent, is made up of lame cover tracks.
  3. On the whole, Rock Revolution just falls short on every level.
