Behold the power of fourplay

Expect this to be the hot holiday gift and party activity - playing rock and roll fantasy camp in your own living room is a thrill that can’t be denied. The experience is well worth its $170 asking price (for a guitar/drum/mic/game bundle, which is the only way you’ll be able to buy Rock Band for months anyway) and makes for one of the most rewarding co-op events you could ask for. This is the perfectly polished, logical extension of what Guitar Hero started and where the music genre needed to go. It just rocks. 

You'll love
  • Incredibly inspiring multiplayer
  • Excellent player animations
  • Super customizable characters
You'll hate
  • No online career mode
  • Technical singing
  • New guitar feels "soft"

THIS IS THE BEST BAD ASS GAME EVER INSTEAD OF CALL OF DUTY 4.
