Fun for the whole familyFeb 12, 2010
I bought this game because my kids wanted Rock Band 2, but I did not like all of the songs that are included with Rock Band 2 for their ages (8 and 10). I also did not want to spend a lot of money to see if they really liked it or not. Those of you with kids can understand how that goes.
Pros:
1. Sound. I have my XBOX connected to a 5.1 surround sound stero system using a digital optical cable and the sound is incredible. We could not hear the vocalist in the band at first, but that is easily solved by changing the options or even by using the controller during play (Hold the A button and use the direction pad left/right to raise and lower the vocalists volume). The drums can be a bit loud (the kit noise), but we just turned up the stero :) (Look out neighbors)
2. Fun. The kids love it and so do I. I wasn't sure that they would like the Beatles since they have never heard of them, but they want to play all hours of the day. I feel good knowing that the songs are family-friendly with few exceptions.
3. Difficuly. The different levels of difficulty make the experience enjoyable for everyone. I'm a horrible singer (think William Hung) but I can still keep the band from failing while singing on easy level and keep the family laughing as well. Also, my 8 year old can play both the guitar and drums on easy level and still have a great time. On hard and expert level, it is quite the challenge and makes it fun for me.
Cons:
1. The drum kit. The kit is wired and requires a USB port. This is a Rock Band 1 drum kit and not the wireless drum kit that comes with Rock Band 2. Overall though it seems to work fine. We will see how much abuse it takes. For the price though, does not seem that bad.
2. Did not have the advertised USB hub in the box. A simple call to EA solved the problem. They sent one out the very same day I contacted them. All I had to do was email them the Amazon receipt. You do not need the hub to play. The XBOX has 3 USB ports on it and we use the 2 on the front, one for the mic and one for the drums.
3. Can't play without the mic plugged in. For some reason the game won't play unless the mic is connected. Not a big deal, but we don't sing that much.
Overall:
We have a great time with the family playing the Beatles rock band. The kids like it so much that we are getting the Lego Rock Band as well.
 Your having fun nowFeb 07, 2010
We loved this game for Christmas the whole family and everyone that dropped by just had to play. Just get an extra guitar because one is not enought. Your gona love this game. Only one thing you need live to get more songs but worth it.
Loved it!Feb 02, 2010
Loved the game before, but now with all the instruments its just plain AWESOME! I have found some of the other Rockband Games and others like them less interesting because of the playlists, but this is more up my alley and that alone makes the game infinitely more playable.
