5 out of 5 starsCould not be happier
I was a little worried about buying Rockband previously owned. However, it arrived promptly and works fantastically. I could not be happier!!!



1 out of 5 starsWii Rock Band Special Edition
We bought this for Christmas and everything was fine except the drums. The drums on this game suck. We thought we had gotten a bad drum set and sent it back to the manufacturer. They sent us a new drum set and it did the same thing. We called Amazon to let them know what was going on and they were great. We sent it back and our money was credited back to our credit card. I would not recommend Rock Band for the Wii



5 out of 5 starsGreat product!
Awsome game with very durable equimpment. children love to play as well as adults. graphics are amazing.



4 out of 5 starsROCKBAND Rocks On
Let me state something first.
I've never played Guitar Hero...

I've been told that GH is better (in some aspects) than ROCKBAND.

In ROCKBAND, you are the band. Period. You're not setting up play lists, you're not deciding on pyros for the stage.

You (and up to two friends) are playing guitar, singing or playing drums.

From that aspect, ROCKBAND is a blast. You get a variety of songs, you can select how difficult they are and you just go.

It's a decent game with friends, and enjoyable as a solo as well.



5 out of 5 starsRock On!
Rock Band has been fun for the whole family. We all take turns at the different instruments. The best part is that each player can play at their own level. I would highly recommend this game for fun family time.
