ROCK BAND!!!

Post by James »

is the nuts!
Been playing it all night and I have to say... yep its better than Guitar hero 3.
The fret board is easier to see, hammer ons are easier to spot, graphics are better, customisable characters etc, more songs, better sound with original tracks/vocalists, the crowd sing along with the songs and cheer at you at the end, fretboard changes colour when solos start and get a % displayed once the solo is complete during the song.. I cld go on all night...
The Guitar hero guitar works perfect, u dont need the high fret buttons like on the fender in case anyone was wonderng :D

oh and you can buy the drums and Fender guitar from the states for cheap!

drum kit and guitar under $60 each from ebgames.com and amazon.com

NOT buying it

Im boycotting it and all EA games the RRP is a 124% mark up from yankville for a game that is already six months old :evil:

I really wanted this game but im not prepared to be anally raped for it :evil: :evil: :evil:

My GF was even gonna buy it for me but I have forbade her :lol:

Even getting it from play for 130 pound is still a 55 pound mark up from yankville :shock: ,Game have it at RRP180 :shock:

I'm just gonna buy the game and play it like Guitar hero. Dont care about drums and microphone.

I saw three things this morning that made me want it.

Chili's Dani California
Foo Fighters Learn To Fly
QOTSA Go With The Flow.

Oh yes, it will be mine.

So glad the guitar hero 3 guitar works. Would not have been happy if I'd have had to have bought a new one.

It's only expensive if you buy your games :o

I dont believe the update to stop GH controllers working.

The game has been out for 6 months... they wld have done it by now if they were going to! Plus, the GH and Rock band controllers both work in the same way so stopping one from working wld prove quite difficult I would imagine.

Even if i didnt get it for free I would buy it. Played bon jovi - dead or alive and Vasaline by Stone temple pilots! SUPERB

Its all HMV's fault :lol: If they hadn't of had it on display I wouldn't of played it and therefore wouldn't have secomb to my urges :mrgreen:
Although the GF bought me the instrument pack and I bought the game so it cost me GBP 12.98 :twisted:
