Rock band Review - 10/10

Graphics 8/10

The graphics aren't too good considering it is on next gen consoles,however,it runs on PS2's graphics.However,the graphics are made slightly better using the PS3's bluray function.

Sound 10/10

Considering this is a music game,sound matters a lot.With many great songs,which include "In Bloom" by Nirvana,"Learn To Fly" by the Foo Fighters,and "Enter Sandman" by Metallica,with over 75 other songs as well,plus there is downloadable song content via PSN,the sound is excellent.
Note:Most of the songs are very old.The newest one is probbably from 2001.

Gameplay 10/10

Very good,whether you are hitting pads on drums,button mashing and strumming on guitar/bass,or singing your heart out on mic.Once you finish all songs,you can do online play,or you can do it anytime as long as you have an ethernet cable or you can go wireless.You are able to play as a band,or go solo.Plus you can create your own character unless it is the PS2 version,but on PS2 GH and GH2 guitars work.This game is like a combination between GH and Singstar with an added expansion(the drum).
Note:The drums are extremely hard,so I would recommend them if you are
A.A hardcore music game fan or
B.play the real drums.

Conclusion:The game manages to live up to the hype,and just managed to get a 10/10.The only thing I hate about this game is the fact that it is on the 360,and will soon be ported to the Wii.However,it is on PS3 too and as a RB owner I gotta LOVE this game.

I agree with GTADude, for a first review, there is nothing wrong with it, short, simple, precise and to the point, it gets my vote, weldone man Although i'll admit im not to keen on the singstar/rockband,guitar hero type games...probably because i cant sing for ****!

RatedY2J said: little small but still ok i guess wont get this game though because im not the rocking type .

Serious?Well Ok...then.Guess you will miss out on this for COD4.

jubbo83 said: wikid. im hanging for this game somethin fierce. i play guitar hero way to much...is it anything like that? what im trying to understand is how the levels of difficulty works. is it like GH3 with a rock meter? i play all my songs on expert, yet my mates can barely handle it on hard. how is this gunna effect our play time in RB? ie. i wanna play expert but they'll surely fail - and i dont wanna drop back a level cuz hard on GH3 is straight up boring.

RB is a bit easier compared to GH3,but that is only if you are on easy or medium.By the way,this means you will succeed....in most songs anyway,and your friends will fail,however,the game rocks.And Vinzor,I will make the review say you can go wireless too,and try to make it a bit longer overall because of all the complaints about it being to short.And I own this game,played GH3 as well,and highly prefer this game.

kinda short... actually, really short.

but good job for something not released in aus yet =]

Once you finish all songs,you can do online play,or you can do it anytime as long as you have an ethernet cable.
- wrong. you can go wireless.

yeah how does it compare to GH3, i was reading somewhere that the hardest setting on rock band is like playing hard on GH3 :/, if thats the case i'll prob just stick with GH3. but playing drums would be ok i guess xD
