We finally got on the bandwagon. Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah. Apologies, sore tendons makes me giddy.
Rock Band is basically
Forza with instruments instead of a wheel. It takes practice, patience, and you really can't compete at a high level without knowing the track. Damn, pun counter is at two already. I'm on fire.
I might not be putting in the effort to learn the skill were it not for the
awesome fact that it's a four player game. Indeed I didn't play
Guitar Heroes 1-3. The co-op element makes it a far greater experience. Alas, the game comes with a single axe and there are no Xbox guitars to be found (the official one won't be released til April). But who really needs a bassist?
Surprises - there's some
strategy involved in getting high scores. And the little
extras like character customization and cities/venues add a little meat to the great gameplay.
Complaints - the
difficulty is all over the place. The game has four skill levels and places each song on a spectrum of difficulty, but this can be a pretty bad indicator.
Music - there's
some epic stuff from Iron Maiden, The Who, The Stones, etc. Just
a few annoying ones like Weezer and Rush.
