Tournament Mode: There's no more maneuvering maps as in HP1 and HP2. HP3 moves you through automatically. It also has 2 different tournaments, one... more

It's all been said so far on how cool this game is as far as each song being a rock video in itself. For me it's the perfect blend of nostalgia and challenge. If you've ever dreamed of jamming with the Fabs, you can't get much closer than this. I define these type of games as a combination of playing "air guitar" and the real thing (somewhat). I think some musicians would agree than although playing... more

Better than kicking the dog after a long day. Medium is just about right for sight reading. Music for gen-x or millenial, a few for the old-guys. The kids like super-easy strumming or playing roadie on the DS. Download library is not limitless. Guitar works well; the kids already broke a tuning knob off, but it's just decoration anyway. Guitar works with all other band/hero games so far... more

Lego Rock Band is fun for the kids as well as the adults. There is a "Super Easy" where you don't have to press the right color guitar button or the right color drum pad, you just have to strum the guitar or hit the drum. Also, if you fail out, it lets you come right back in. Great for our 5 year old who was getting frustrated with the regular Rock Band. This is also a great way to introduce your kids... more
