It's pointless to buy the game for PS3 if you can't play any of the guitar parts. The GHIII Les Paul controller is not recognized by Rock Band. I foolishly bought the game assuming that the controller would work. Now I have to wait until the Fender Strat comes out. I don't want to take it back because the song list is far better than GHIII. THIS IS A MAJOR DISAPOINTMENT!!!!
What's great about it: Great song list and graphics
What's not so great: You can't play any of the guitar parts.

My 3 kids got this game (complete Rockband Set for PS3) for Christmas. They played for 6 hours straight. This is a Christmas miracle! No fighting!! They each could play a part in the band. They cooperated and built up a great fan base. Loads of fun for them. They loved personalizing their own characters. This was a GREAT gift. I would definitely recommend this for other families.

I love this game. Every song has a lead guitar, bass guitar, drum, and vocal track that can be played. The microphone is laggy- but can be fixed by adjusting the settings in game when switching between instruments (your vocal lag will be different than the lag for guitar). At first I didn't like a lot of the song choices but as I have played through the game I have found a couple of new favorite songs I didn't know before. Another plus is that you can download (at extra cost) additional content from the PS store (songs like Fortunate Son by CCR, Roxanne by The Police and Hard to Handle by the Black Crowes).
If you want to try before you buy just stop by a local best buy - they have the X-Box version up and running at most and the inputs are the same on all system.
What's great about it: Expands on Guitar Hero Concept adding drums + Mic, can add content from PS store
What's not so great: Lack of extra guitar controllers, microphone lag

This is well worth 169!
The song choices are awesome...well rounded. The difficulty is better than Guitar Hero..meaning...one doesnt breeze right thru it..more realistic to real instruments.
guitar,drums are solid material...no breaking!
This game is the perfect party game...move over karaoke!
What's great about it: several instruments. solid song choices

This is a fun and addictive game, better then Guitar Hero in my opinion because you have the added feature of drums and a mic. Many people may not like this game because the instruments aren't real, but that is the point, its a video game. You'll have tons of fun with your friends on here. One word of warning, the Guitar Hero guitar will not work on this game, and this guitar will not work on the Guitar Hero game (PS3 problem only). With that said, you'll need to pick up an extra rock band guitar to have a 4 member band, there is a Nyko one that will work on both games.
What's great about it: Fun, party game, addictive, innovative
What's not so great: Only so many songs on disc, then you have to download more if you want them.

This game is great, you have great songs, you can play guitar or bass drums or sing all in one!! You can play as a band which is fun to do. But the whole set is quite expensive lol, but its still a great game
