I bought this game on Sunday, & I'm liking. Right when I botted up the game, it loaded up the DLC I got beforehand, & then it loaded right to Party Play (good move). Once I pressed start, the game got even better. The amount of modes & great gameplay will keep the party going for hours. The setlist, it's pretty good. Sure, it's got Taylor Swift, but the other 62 songs are great (concidering the pop theme). The character creator is also pretty deep, which is good. The down side, you won't get all the songs when you import (GHWT, GHSH, & GH5). Activision & Neversoft said they'll bring more, but a release date for the extra imports have not been confirmed, yet. The characters look great (even the actual stars). I also like to note the mo-capping is nothing short of amazing. They actually move like regular people, not robots. Sure, you may get a little too much pink, & you don't get the BH drums like the Wii version, but it's a good game anyway. Oh, & to those who will play online, do yourselves & the community a favor & get some of the free DLC on the Music Store (it'll keep the others online happy).
What's great about it: Easy Setup, Good Songs, Ability to Import Songs, Great Gameplay, Tons of Options, Any Combo of Instruments, Great Mo-Cap
What's not so great: Some Songs People Won't Like, No New Drum Kit, Some Songs Won't Import, Few People Online, Less Songs, Too Much Pink

Sure, you can't use RB gear or play GHWT Downloads. Though when you play the actual game, you'll be blown away. The setlist, Expert Plus (yes, it works on Wii), difficulty, & Career Mode are enough to win you over. It's well worth the purchase.
What's great about it: Great Setlist, Improved Graphics, Great Metallica Motion Caputre, Improved Band Interface, Imporved Music Studio
What's not so great: Can Only Connect to 2 Wiis Online, No GHWT DLC Access, Wii RB Gear Doesn't Work, No James Hetfield ESP in Music Studio
