This Game rocks!!!

I mean the Fun Factor is incredible!!! And Solo is quite good as well.

Getting four friends and just having a great time yelling at each other for fucking up is what i call a good time ^^__^^

I love teh drums.'

What are you Opinions on it?

I never really saw the whole fun thing about these types of games. I've played them a little bit, but I really don't see the point in mashing buttons.

From what I see, it's just for people to make them think they're good, so they can talk to you later about how good they are at guitar or something. Yeah, right. Play that on a real guitar if you want to impress me. I guess it's just that I never got into music that much. I mean, i'll listen to nsync when I want background music, but I couldn't care less about playing it myself.

Though I agree... The whole group thing makes the game a LOT better. I'd love to try out Rock Band, though I can't really afford the game when I get a 360 :P

LOL, I like pretending I can play the drums. The singing part is the best feature. LOL my friend Chris tries to scream the lyrics to paint it black, it's quite amusing.

I like how if you dont have all the instruments the AI fills in for you. Sadly if you went out and bought the whole thing yourself you'd break 200 bucks. Also the track selection is pretty small so you play a lot of repeats and if you're singing you don't know how annoying that is :P

I rented it. I dont have the drums, but I use the 360 mic for vocals and the GH guitar for the guitar. I really only like 6 or 7 songs in the game and the rest of the songs are not very good. If you are really in to GH, this may not be the game for you. Im almost done beating the game as a guitarist on expert and it is a lot easier than any GH game. What I do find to be really fun is sign in another profile as the vocalist while I play as the guitar, and I wear the headset so I pretty much sing and play guitar at the same time. I think that is a lot funner than the carrer or online play. The game does offer a ridiculous amount of replay value compared to GH and I cant wait to get my hands on the drum kit. I'll probably buy the bundle later on along with the Queens of the Stone Age and Metallica songs so my little brother and I can play.

The last tier is the only thing that gave me trouble KKC. The last song is 10 minutes long and is all solo...took me a couple tries but I beat it. Now onto Drums!

o.o If pyro had trouble I am doomed.

Also, how do you host games on multiplayer? Also can you have people join your band online? Im tired of joining other people and having to play Tom Sawyer.
