Please Note that I was able to play this game before the official release during a demo session.
Graphics - 9/10
For what the game is, you are not buying this game to play for the graphics – though EA and Harmonix was to put a lot stuff onto one screen, and it works well. The words and the activators are clear and bright.
Sound – 10/10
The track list for this game, along with the original recordings and downloadable content, is a must have. You will get lost in involvement when playing this game. This is one of the best soundtracks in a game to date. The best addition is the sound of the instruments when you mess up – they just cut out.
Gameplay – 9/10
Though taking on new instruments Rock Band has taken this game this game down a new road, going to a new town and just nailed it. The drums, along with the fender are awesome. What is really impressive, but under published is the singing. This is a fun, yet interesting addition, to this platform.
Replay Value - 10/10
When you see the achievement list, it will make you achievement “gatherers” play this game again and again to get the full 1000/1000. Plus with the addition of online multiplayer, content downloads, and competitive play – it will hard not to play this game over and over. This is worth your $169.99 for the bundle this holiday season.
Overall - 10/10
This game is going to change the way developers take the gamer in the future. As an avid gamer, and a twenty-something, this game just pulled me in. The soundtrack, gameplay, singing, and peripherals all gel perfectly.
The new wireless “Fender” guitar is heavier, durable, and a real close replica to an original Fender. Playing this, you feel as if you have a real Strat in your hands. Playing Guitar for the last seven years, this instrument feels natural, and it is easy to orientate yourself to it. I must say that this is a nice controller, and I did not want to put it down.
The drums are well built, sturdy, and I have to say – just plain fun! The color coded drum heads, and kick pedal, feel good while playing them. Playing cross-handed style naturally, they set up the game to accommodate real drum playing style. This is the closest simulator I have felt. I would agree with the developers in saying that playing the drums on expert level would make you a better “real” drummer on a novice/intermediate level.
Singing – well… That is just plain fun. I must comment that the pitch recognizing, along with the tracks, takes this game to the next level.
I highly RECOMMEND that you get the bundle not only to save money, but to experience this game in entirety with your friends.
What's great about it: Takes the music rhythem game to a whole new level
What's not so great: A bit expensive for everything
I would recommend this to a friend!

DO NOT BUY THIS unless you are just getting it as a replacement for the game disc you got in your special edition bundle. NO INSTRUMENTS ON THE MARKET WORK WITH THIS GAME except for the ones that come in the special edition bundle, and will not be sold separately until 2008. No guitar that has been released for PS2 or PS3 thus far, other than the Rock Band Fender Stratocaster work with this game. If you buy this without owning the Rock Band instruments already, you are buying a coaster.
What's great about it: You get a nice shiny coaster
What's not so great: This game is unplayable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good game but is hard to sync your tv to if you wanna get the timing right. Other than that, everything else is great making this a great game to play with a crowd of people.
What's great about it: Music Library
What's not so great: Synchornizing your TV with the game can be hard because it's difficult to align it right
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game is going to blow away GH3 it is so much better because it does the same thing as guitar hero but with added content which makes it better then GH3. So this holiday you must buy this game.
What's great about it: You can use drums and microphone!
What's not so great: it may not have the best rock songs =(
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rock Band looks to be a killer hit for 360 and PS3 owners. Parties will never be the same when u and your friends start jamming out to famous hits from many eras of music. I would highly recomend buying it, or investing to get the full package: $200 for everything (be sure you have friends first)
