Compared to RB2...BAD! June 1, 2010 bookitty (abq,nm,usa) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
First off: I'm a RB2 junkie...so...I'm pretty critical of instruments, notes, and graphics. It matters...it really does.
Just a tip, if you've played RB2 and you go back to RB...you WILL be disappointed.
The Wii RB was rushed to the market. The graphics are not top knotch, the notes are weird, and you can't make your own character...and if you have a instrument controller other than harmonix be prepared to be unable to play.
The software for the early GH and RB will not accept other instruments other than the ones they are sold with. Even though GH and RB come from the same software company...there was something funky going on when they decided not to share instruments...turf war or something.
RB2 works GREAT with my GH3 Gibson Les Paul (better than with my Fender)...but the Fender Stratocaster is the only instrument accepted in RB play. (Same as the drums and mic.)
I don't know what happened with the character customization on RB Wii...xbox 360 RB allows customization...so it's whacked.
So, if you have RB2 Wii and you believe that RB Wii would be a good investment...you may want to rethink. I've logged 2 hours (tops) on RB whereas I have logged months of play on RB2...and I would log that much time on RB if it was actually a good game.
It simply isn't as advanced as RB2 because they rushed it to market...so it's not as fun...it's ok for logging practice time...but even that's a stretch due to the freaky note stuff going on. Overall, my reaction on playing it the first time was, "Meh..."
RockBand May 5, 2010 N. Tatiana Carciente I love it!!! me and my daughter enjoy this game together and we even have rockband party gathering. So much fun!!!
Great Game! :) March 12, 2010 John O. Plumer Jr. (Canton, MA USA) This is an amazing game :) I just love all the Rock Band Games and the 5 extra songs are a definite bonus. I would recommend this version to anyone who is considering it.
Doesn't work with GH controllers March 8, 2010 S. Henderson (Jax, FL) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I previously played this game on a friends XBox and thought it was great. I didn't realize when I purchased it for my Wii that the Guitar Hero controllers would not work with it. So now I'm waiting for someone to have a Rockband controller in stock that isn't ridiculously priced to play it =/
Disappointed February 8, 2010 Hilary Stewart (El Prado, NM USA) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Bought this game for my daughter for Christmas. I wasn't quite sure how all this game stuff works. I figured I would have to purchase accessories but... There don't seem to be any RockBand guitars available and they were way more expensive than I imagined. So, I have no idea if this is a good game or not... It seems like the Guitar Hero is a better bet.
