  1. Xbox Evolved

    9.6/10
    31 March 2008

    Overall, Rock Band is a very satisfying, rewarding game and I’d recommend it to anyone who has a passion for the music game genre, and ideally friends to play with. Read more

    • Music selection, interesting visuals, experience of
    • Lacking solo mode, steep learning curve for drums

  2. HDR

    9.3/10
    31 January 2008

    A few other nitpicks exist (the game "randomly" picking the hardest songs for the mystery setlists -- constantly -- plus some incredibly tedious Achievements on the Xbox 360 version), but with four instruments to play and Read more

    • Four instruments at once = awesome, Online play a must, Great tracks, Drums/vocals add uniqueness
    • Tedious Achievements, Mystery setlists always hard

  3. IGN Entertainment

    9.0/10
    11 March 2010

    Of course, there’s more to The Bigs 2 ’s fun than mere bodily injury. The additional Home Run Pinball mode—where users get to pinpoint cityscape targets for points—is a blast, and also available in Live multiplayer. Read more

    There’s not much to say really - it’s Rock Band, but with Green Day songs. If you like Green Day and you like Rock Band, you’re going to like Green Day: Rock Band. Go figure. Read more

    • The best Green Day songs are all there, Great energy to the performances
    • Career mode missing a sense of progression, Swearing removed

    Huh. Well it seems Green Day is one of those bands where I know a lot more of their songs than I would have thought. Read more

    Reviewer: perpetrator63, Bestbuy
    24 November 2011

    The look, the feel, the detail. It is an awsome piece to behold. Authentic feel. As a controller for the xbox, it is a performer. The look and feel, the comfort of the buttons, all make this guitar a hard one to beat. Read more

    • It's a beautiful piece of art, and worth the $$$$
    • Can't find anything bad to say about this controller..... Nothing

  3. Review as a Midi Guitar

    8.0/10
    Reviewer: buffytvs, Newegg
    13 February 2011

    I purchased this hoping it would work as a midi guitar. I am a recording musician who mainly plays guitar and bass, so I struggle when adding synth sounds on my keyboard. Read more

    • Connects and works easily with both Mac and PC
    • Instrument exhibits some flex on the neck.

  4. Left 4 Dead 2 Reader Review - 9.9

    Reviewer: IrishAssassin, IGN Entertainment
    13 July 2011

    This improves on the first game in every way! I love this game! For me, one of the biggest problems of Left 4 Dead 1 was the lack of weapons, with about six total. Compare that to Left 4 Dead 2's total of about twenty six. Read more

Rock Band features wired drums, wired guitar and wired microphone. The microphone is a standard USB microphone. The game includes songs like Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter,” Aerosmith’s “Train Kept a Rollin,”and so on. Rock Band includes three Solo Tours for the drums guitar, and singing. The Solo Tours, you play five songs at a time, and as you finish, you move on to the next one. Rock Band really succeeds marvels at the Band World Tour mode. You can create band members and perform in different cities and venues available. You’ll gain or lose fans, at the same time, unlocking larger venues. The songs are played in different ways, and some songs are repeated. The Band World Tour mode is quite long and the game has 45 licensed songs. Reviewers find that Rock Band is certainly the most ambitious and successful music game available on the market. The Drums Solo Tour and Band World Tour, and the four-player band multiplayer mode make Rock Band the best multiplayer games available. The sound, the visual and the animations are all stunning. The lighting is amazing. The characters look real. And the reviewers also say that the cinematic camera angles and new animations make this the best looking music game.
