"Rock Band essential"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The Wii version of Rock Band has most things, except the ability to download new songs like the PS3 or XBOX version. However, there are still more than 60 songs to choose from.

You first need to go play through all the songs in the band tour to unlock the new songs. Once that's done, you can choose all the songs you want to play.

The practice function is very useful if you want to become more skillful in a particular instrument. I found it especially useful for drums because you can adjust the speed at which you practice. Same goes for guitar.

Beside the limited song range, it's got all the classics you love to keep you busy practicing. With the different difficulties levels of the songs, this is sure a game that'll last a long time.

"Something Different To Guitar Hero"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I Brought Rockband For A Change From Guitar Hero & At First Found It A Little Bit Challenging…At First. This Series 1 Rockband Does Not Have A Set-List Option, So You've Got To Play An Individual Song At A Time, Which Is Quite Annoying. All In All A Great Change Though
