Rock Band 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I managed to get my hands on Rock Band 2 a bit early, and spent the entirety of the evening playing. What a drastic improvement over Rock Band 1 on the Wii! This is identical to the Xbox 360/ PS3 versions of the game, and I was even more impressed than I anticipated. I was having a blast before I even had a chance to play a single note: The character creator tool was a welcome bonus! You create a band and members, and then you hit the road. It was a really satisfying experience! This is really the first time that a Wii game has been truly competitive with other Next-Gen console games.
The World Tour mode is now available locally or online, and there are also challenges and battle-of-the-bands. There was a "Wii pre-release" battle available for the select few who managed to snag the game early, and I was able to compete head to head with other bands (there were only 3 other bands online since the game was not yet available @ most stores).
There are sure to be plenty of lengthy reviews, so I will just note some of my observations:
*Band Members - once you create your band-mates using the Character Creator, when you play a gig, there they are! I knew this feature was present, but I had no idea how exciting it would be the first time my character (who happens to look JUST LIKE ME!) appeared on stage! It was really satisfying! This feature was really well done. My first order of business was to create characters for my wife and all our friends. Whenever they come over and play from now on, they can use their characters. Also, these characters can be moved around, dropped etc. Also, whenever you select a character to play a gig with your band, they get a "cut", earning that character money which can be used to buy clothes, accessories, instruments, etc. Of course, my wife blew all her money on some designer jeans, some pink driving gloves, and some shoes before she even played one gig! Typical... =)
*Online - Some of the online features haven't been enabled yet, but I was able to play in the online battle of the bands. I was playing during a weather storm, and my internet connection was suffering. I had a hard time checking my email from my computer in fact! But, much to my surprise, the game chugged along, and I didn't see any problems with the online interface. The whole game is played "connected", so you don't have to keep logging on and off if you switch between local and online play. The interface was really polished and well done, unlike other Wii games that seem to tack on the online portion after the fact. A+++.
*Updated instruments - The new guitar and drum look and feel really good. The drums are sturdier, and also the pads are quieter. Other than that, not much of a change here, but I had no complaints about the previous generation of instruments.
*Music - This game seems to have a much more varied mix of music. Much like when I began playing RB1, I only knew a handful of the songs that I initially was able to play. A few of the songs that I initially played were somewhat familiar, but some were way off the radar for me. Still, what I have heard so far is great! As you may already know, there is a Music Store built in the game where you can use Wii points on your system to buy new songs, so there will be no shortage of great music to be played! I was also surprised to see that details about the band and even album art appear on the song selection screen. The interface is really clean and polished; it really doesn't feel like a "game" at all. There is really no end to this games replay value. There are already close to 500 songs available in the DLC catalog (and all of this will come to the Wii shortly), and new songs are added weekly. Guitar Hero: World Tour can't even begin to compete in this area!!!
Do yourself a favor and go buy this game. I loved RB1 on the Wii, and really didn't think I was missing out on much... as it turns out, the additional features in RB2 are really astounding! The solid gameplay of Rock Band 1 is there... the great music game is completely intact. RB2 adds the "Band" experience: Touring, Band-mate selection, losing fans if you quit a "set" prematurely, battle of the bands, never-ending amounts of fresh content to play, expansive leaderboards and band data, even the ability to order posters and figurines of your band!!! Rock Band 2 for the Wii delivers!!

AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)AC/DC Live: Track Pack has all the rock-edge you've wanted to play in a music game. The songs are fun to play, with accurate-enough charts and tunes that even if you didn't think you knew--most of which--you'll realize you've heard on your local rock station a dozen times before (which by no means is a bad thing). Obviously this will cater the most to fans of the band, and really, if you don't at least moderately like AC/DC I have no idea why you'd pick this up.
All of the songs are currently--and possibly *forever*--exclusive to this disc, so don't expect to find them in the DLC updates. According to an article I read online, AC/DC refuses to put out individual tracks (either in music games like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, nor individual mp3s found in services like iTunes) because they consider themselves a 'full-album band'... which is an unusual attitude to have, but I get it, I guess.
The only qualm I really have with this Track Pack is that, since it uses the Rock Band 1 system, you need to play through a Career-style menu in order to unlock each song. (Eg. You start off with Song 1 and can't advance until you beat it, which then unlocks Song 2 to play.. then Song 3.. and Song 4, etc.) Although, once you've completed all of the songs, they're yours to play in Quickplay, but don't expect to be able to create your own tracklist once you have unlocked them all--you'll need the Rock Band 2 functions for such things.
Luckily, the game comes with a one-time use transfer code--as mentioned in the description--to let you download the entire set as one giant file to your 360's harddrive for use with either Rock Band game in the series (and supposedly future Rock Band games as well, but we'll see about that), keep in mind that you'll need to connect to Xbox Live Marketplace to use the transfer code however.

Rock Band 2 Standalone Drums Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great game - I am in my late 30s, and definitely NOT a rocker at all (nor a gamer, either). I wanted just the drum part of Rock Band 2, and it's nice that this is available (I wasn't going to use the mic or guitar anyway, so why spend the extra money? You can always add it on later). Also, with the massive popularity of the full Rock Band 2 suite, this was much easier to find (this was in stock at Best Buy, and they told me they had been all sold out of the full Rock Band 2) Setup was easy, play is fun, here are a few things that I noted:
A) On the setup sheet, of course the first step is to lay everything out and make sure you have all the materials. One of the materials I saw that was listed looked to be 8 tiny screws. Again, there was only a picture of them, and I didn't see them in the box at all. And, there was no reference to them at all in the setup directions. Also, it didn't look as if I needed them, so I ended up not worrying about it. Perhaps it was one of those things that was planned to be included in the final product, but was pulled at the last minute? Or maybe I misread the directions? But again, due to the fact that there was no other reference to these screws or a place I could use them, I wasn't worried.
B) A Wii Remote does not have to be "implanted" into the drum kit (like Guitar Hero World Tour...?). These drums come with a built in transmitter. There is, however, a small gray box included that will plug into one of your two USB ports in the back of the Wii. This is how the drums communicate with the Wii. I did have to use a Wii remote at first when choosing the actual disc (from the main Wii screen)
After drumming for a total of about 6 hours so far, I definitely have a greater appreciation for the drum parts of songs! You remember drumming along to some of these songs ages ago, and then when you actually have the drum track in front of you, you find out that it's a lot more complicated! I thought I had the drums to "Hungry Like the Wolf" *down* when I was 17! This cool drum set (along with the software, sold separately) tells me just how wrong I was.

Xbox 360 Rock Band Portable Drum Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this drum because it's cheap and I thought maybe at least something about it would be fun to mess around with. I have an ion, but my pedal is too loud and I also wanted to get something I could take with me on the go to a friends' house. Well this thing worked as well as the other reviewers have said. The pedal in this kit is better and makes less impact noise than any pedal on the market, and if you can stick the pads down in one place, they seem to work perfectly as well. The only downside is that you pretty much have to use this with the included sticks, because the pads are too hard. The sticks in the box are rubber to compensate. Using wooden sticks on these is too loud to stand.
Another added perk of this kit is that the controller can be plugged in standalone and used like an NES controller for arcade games, as long as the games don't use the shoulder buttons. Also, people who are interested in modding projects can use the little controller part as the "brain" for a custom drum kit. People have used this to turn their nice electronic kits into RB kits!
Let me reiterate again that the pedal on this is better than the stock ion pedal in terms of noise and equal in function. Get a 1/4" to 1/8" converter and use it with your ion.
In every way, this product is worth your money if you're looking for any of the above features.
ADDITION: I am adding this to the review as a caution: the sticks that this comes with seem to be susceptible to breaking at the middle where they screw together. Now, I know that all drum sticks break eventually, but just be prepared to try to locate some rubber-head sticks as backups because you really can't play this too well with a wooden head.
UPDATE 6/29/09: The pedal for this is still working great, and I still use it with my expensive Ion drum kit. I play on expert now better than ever, and this pedal is very accurate and much easier to double tap to get those super-rapid beats. The official pedal I bought recently doesn't respond well at all to quick rapid pushes like this does. I even got a second portable kit just so I could have a spare, and the second one works just as well.

PS3 Audio Drum Rocker Core Rock Band 2 Drum Set without Cymbals Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying that this is the real deal. Especially if it's made by an electronic drum company who knows what good quality is. The drum kit itself is very sturdy and is 30 lbs mostly metal parts. Nothing is cheap on here for sure.
-Pros-
Rubber material
Great rebound
Registers 99% of hits
Consists mostly of metal material
Customization with the pads
Pedal is loose making it easier to hit the double bass notes
Pedal is made mostly of metal
Great design
Pad is bigger than the regular
The pad sounds cool when you hit it haha
-Cons-
putting the drum kit together is somewhat confusing
Lots of wires but once you wrap it around the bar, you'll be fine.
-Things to improve-
Make it wireless
-Conclusion-
It's a good investment for only $200 dollars. Probably how much you're going to end up paying if you stick with the regular ones which will break
eventually.(yes I have 3. 2 of which are broken)I highly recommend this drum kit if you are an expert
rock band player. If you have any questions about the drum kit, just leave a comment on this review.

The ION Audio Drum Rocker Core is a premium drum set for the Rock Band 2 video game. The Drum Rocker Core is designed to take a real beating with all the positioning flexibility that professional drummers demand. Drum Rocker Core's professional aluminum drum rack lets you position your snare and tom pads wherever you want and its all-metal foot pedal is rugged and reliable. You can add optional Drum Rocker cymbals to customize your setup with real-feel, swinging cymbals that are color-assignable. And when you're ready to move from playing Rock Band to playing in a rock band, you can swap the game controller module with one of the professional drum brains made by Alesis, and you're ready to hit the road for real!Drum Rocker Core's velocity-sensitive drum pads feature a playing surface that is much quieter than other drum controllers. They also feel great - the stick rebound off of the pad is much more natural and consistent than anything else available. The pad housing is made of high-impact plastic, designed to be whacked on stage night after night. No matter how much you punish them, the Drum Rocker Core drum pads can take it.The pads are mounted to the drum rack with a metal L-Arm and clamp system, which allows them to be tilted, swiveled, raised and lowered to whatever position you want. Just one warning - once you play these pads, nothing else will do!The kick drum pedal with any drum controller takes a lot of abuse. No need to worry with Drum Rocker - this pedal is all metal and built to last! It's also got the right amount of tension to replicate the feeling of playing a real drum pedal, and we're even building an accessory pedal to allow for double-pedal setups. The pedal comes with velcro so you can be sure it will stay put. You're not limited to where you place it either - put the kick pedal wherever you feel most comfortable playing it.

Rock Band 3 - Wireless Fender Stratocaster Guitar Controller for Wii - Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Compared to the bundled guitar from Rock Band 2, this is an evolution, but in a positive direction. The buttons have a much softer, less clicky feel, reducing the noise, and also allowing you to use less force when playing. I can play longer before my wrists start to hurt, which is a big win. The softer touch also seems more accurate, allowing me to play more by feel and sound instead of having to look at the notes on screen.
The wireless USB dongle is included, even though it is not mentioned in the description. Everything you need is in the box, unlike the Wii Guitar Hero 5 Stand-Alone Guitar which cannibalizes a regular controller.
The main plastic case has gone to a cheaper looking, matte finish, but they've also dropped the price $20, so I'm more than willing to make that tradeoff, especially when it comes with superior control. Not worth buying as a replacement for a working guitar, but an excellent way to add a guitar to your band.

Lego Rock Band Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let's clear one thing up and remember that you're playing along to colored notes with a fake plastic instrument, so I don't see how folks can get all upset that the LEGO tie-in makes the game more kid-like. It's charming!
This review is based on playing through the game on Hard lead guitar, with the Rock Band 1 song exports and about 200 DLC songs.
Let's start with the cons:
1. The tracklist is rather brief at 45-songs. You'll be repeating them a lot of you don't have DLC or the RB1 export. If you don't have it already, at least get the latter!
2. No online play, but the randomness of Career Mode (see below) somewhat makes up for that.
3. There appears to be a Crowd Noise volume setting bug, at least on the PS3 version. Despite lowering the crowd noise level to 0, I still hear it.
PROS:
1. Great overall presentation, with compelling and complete LEGO environments, cut scenes, and challenges.
2. Career Mode is tons of fun in that the game continually prompts you to participate in new challenges and setlists, rather than returning you to a selection screen every time. So the element of surprise is always there, as is the opportunity to simply randomly enjoy the core tracks and the DLC/exports you own.
3. The game makes good use of your DLC... for example, I had a surprise 5-song setlist thrown at me and all songs were drawn from my DLC.
4. It's fun to buy bizarre LEGO objects and decorate your band space with them.
5. Extensive stats are available for your band, including 5-starred songs, gold-starred songs, overall playing time, and many others.
6. SAVED SETLISTS. The game has you create 3-song Albums and stores them for future play. These are essentially saved setlists, an oft-requested RB feature ever since RB2 came out. Furthermore, you can edit the Album setlists in your Band Office after you unlock them.
7. SHORT SONGS. OK, this feature apparently applies only to the core game tracks, but if you're concerned that you'll be playing a bunch of songs that only half appeal to your over and over, you can use the Short Songs feature that knocks the track duration down to two minutes or so.
8. Like The Beatles: Rock Band, LRB remembers gameplay settings such as Breakneck Speed, so *you* don't have to remember to turn it on every time a la Rock Band 2.
In summary, the game provides key new features in a fun, surprising environment that allows you to enjoy the new, included songs as well as your exports/DLC in a new way. If the price drops a bit more as seems to regularly happen with LEGO-themed games, that will just make an already great title a real bargain,.

Wii Shred Ax Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one sweet looking guitar, but it fails in that it is NOT compatible with Rock Band. Only Activision axes are compatible and they are only currently available with the bundle. Or else wait for the Cross Play Guitar adapter due out sometime this year. It does play well with GH3 and I actually prefer it than the one bundled with the game. This guitar is good to show off to your mates but dont make the mistake I did and expect RB to work with it!

ezJam Guitar for Wii Guitar Hero & Rock Band Wireless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because it claimed to be compatible with both Rockband and Guitar Hero. For Guitar Hero, I found that the whammy bar didn't work which made the guitar very difficult to use battle mode, as one of the "attacks" requires rapped whammy usage to clear. The tilt sensor used to trigger overdrive for both Rockband and Guitar hero never functioned. I don't know if those problems were due to a defect in the guitar controller that I received or is a general problem, but in general I found the controller to be of questionable quality, for instance the strum bar is quite loose, when compared to either the Guitar Hero or the Rockband OEM controllers.

The Beatles: Rock Band Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this and while the game itself is a blast, here's the realization I made after reading an online PSA that did the research I should have done myself:
$[...] The Beatles Rock Band Special Value Edition (Beatles Rock Band Game, original Rock Band instruments)
Or:
$[...] Rock Band 2 (Rock Band 2 game, newer instruments with improved design over original Rock Band instruments)
$[...] The Beatles Rock Band (software only)
(Amazon.com prices used.)
Unfortunately, overexcited at the prospect of buying the game for $[...] less than I thought I would have to, the $[...] set with special Beatles instruments being the only available edition previously, I purchased this edition.
So, don't make the same mistake that I did. Definitely get this wonderful game if you're considering it, as just about any review can tell you. But buy the Rock Band 2 set and the software alone, and you'll have better instruments and an extra game for the exact same price.
What a fool I was!

The Game Join John, Paul, George and Ringo on-stage at legendary shows, behind closed doors in the recording studio, and in dreamscapes that bring the psychedelic imagery of the latter stage of their career to life. The acclaimed Rock Band elements of interactive play and full-band capacity are here as well, but with brand-new additions. One of these is full three-part harmonies, which challenge you to recreate The Beatles' vocal blend — a first for any music game and facilitated by the game's support for up to three microphone controllers. In addition, the game supports custom-built controllers modeled after the actual instruments that the Fab Four played, and eventually helped to make iconic, audio straight from the masters and graphics that take you on a magical tour through the key moments in The Beatles history. Produced with the full cooperation of The Beatles and Apple Corps, the game is packed with hidden fab extras that will push you and up to five of your friends to master the songs both online and offline in order to hear rare audio and view unseen photos from the archives.

The Song List The Beatles were one of the most prolific bands of all time, churning out memorable hit after hit and this reflected in the song list of The Beatles: Rock Band. From "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to "Get Back," every song in The Beatles: Rock Band comes directly from the Abbey Road master tapes. More than 40 songs are included with the game, spanning the length of The Beatles' career, with more to follow via download at the in-game The Beatles: Rock Band Music Store for Wii, using Wii points purchased through the Wii Shop Channel. The full list of hits supplied with the game disc include:

Standard Rock Band Instruments Equal Value The Rock Band Special Value Edition is all about providing players with the hottest music games at a value.
