Rock Band Special Edition will rock!
10/10Reviewer: the tone, ABT Electronics5 November 2008Rock Band is a great game to play, but may not be as easy as Guitar Hero because of the drums. It could use some more "oldie" tunes, and to unlock a lot of the songs requires a great deal of playing. Read more
- Challenging, Great Sound, Multiplayer

Rockin' cooperative gameplay
8.0/10Reviewer: jpstanley, Newegg17 March 2008Others have complained about the stripped-down world tour mode in the PS2, but in my opinion that's no big loss. Some fluff is gone, but the gameplay is there and it's solid. Read more
- It's a blast. Three music games in one, all of them fun to play solo, and getting people together to play all three at once = even better. Add a Guitar Hero guitar for a bassist and you've got killer four-player cooperativ...
- The PS2 version lacks downloadable songs, so the 58 on the disc are it (at least until EA publishes an expansion pack). Practice mode is weak (can practice parts of a song at 70% speed or the entire song at 100%, but not p...

10/10Reviewer: Austin C., Sazze11 October 2009This game is a BLAST to play! Compared to Guitar Hero, I personally believe that Rock Band is much better. Included in the box is the guitar, the drums, the microphone, and the game. Read more

Features
With Rock Band, players can literally form a collaborative band in the style loosely patterned after the Guitar Hero video series. You need to play the peripherals as the music notes are scrolled down your screen. You can play as an individual using the single-player career mode (dubbed its “Solo Tour Mode”), or as a group of two to four players who use the band career mode (entitled the “Band World Tour.”) There are four levels of difficulty of play to choose from namely, Easy, Medium, Hard and then Expert. Rock Band uses 58 songs as soundtrack for play.
