Well it's no surprise that I've been spending most of my free time belting out White Wedding in front of my TV. Harmonix did an excellent job on the production of the newest title in the Rockstar series. The game included enough new features, and excellent songs to make it totally worth plunking down $60 for it.
The first thing we did when we got our disk was pay the additional $5 to transfer all the Rockband 1 songs from the disk to our Xbox's hard drive. This way we can choose to play from all of our songs rather than having to swap out disks. It's great for when we have friends over, and we want to be able to enjoy all the content at once.
No Fail mode is also a great addition to this game. It completely revitalizes the system for kids and adults. It's no fun to show someone this game and have them keep failing out of songs. It's more like a karaoke box now than ever before. With all of the songs from Rockband 1, Rockband 2, and our downloaded content we have well over 100 songs.
What fascinates me most about the product is the drum tutorial. They have added a level to the game, which teaches the user how to drum in real life. The tutorials range from very basic, intermediate, to advanced. In October for $300 you'll be able to purchase a real drum kit that will hook up to your computer and the game!!! The technology is phenomenal. I'm waiting for them to come out with the real guitar. I will be in heaven.
All of that on top of the fantastic additional content makes this my favorite game right now. It never seems to lose playability unlike other games that we own.
