Rock Band!!

For those of you who think Guitar Hero and Rock Band are dorky, shut up until you've played it. For those of you who think we should pick up real guitars, shut up forever.

As to Rock Band, here's the scoop: the instruments suck. I actually just have the game, as the two people I know who bought the kit had broken guitars,
and in one case a drum set, within a week. It's a physical problem with the guitar design. They shipped anyway, knowing that the guitars would fail. Nice
job! I use the wireless microphone (normally it's for Halo) and my Guitar Hero wireless and wired guitars. Singing is hard! I'm lucky to manage 20% on a song.
It's the greatest party game ever. New Year's Eve was phenomenal.

Sadly, it's not as good of a solo game as Guitar Hero. Primarily, the game is too easy on Medium, and when I am passing every song on Hard, there's a serious issue. The song list isn't as good as the Guitar Hero series (they chose songs that had a
medley of instruments, rather than guitar-centric).

Still, hard to imagine passing up. The downloadable content, at least, is already worlds better than Guitar Hero's. The graphics and animations also blow GH out of the water.
