 moll's rock band August 13, 2008
I bought this game as a gift to my daughter. She loves it! The price was quite reasonable.
Thanks to Game Designer & Sony August 11, 2008
So there are slight differences in the PS3 version! Sony continues to support their loyal customers with good older platform PS2 games like Rock Band. Thanks.
This game allows kids to cooperate and learn the 'oldie' tunes at the same time !! My son and daughter, who are several years apart and do not usually play the same genra of games, now love to play this one together. I'm even tempted to join in if I wasn't too busy shooting monsters ;-]
Why buy in-store when Amazon has it over 30% cheaper and free shipping?
 Playstation 2 CD Compatibility August 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Rock Band Special Edition contains a 2 sided CD. My Playstation 2 was one of the early versions and it would not play two sided CDs. In order to play Rock Band, I had to purchase the latest Playstation 2. You need to make sure your Playstation will accomodate 2 sided CDs before you buy Rock Band.
Now that we have the latest Playstation we are enjoying Rock Band Special Edition.
GREAT FAMILY GAME August 8, 2008
This game is fantastic and well worth the price, especially considering what's included.
You get the game, of course, as well as the guitar (similar to Guitar Hero hardware), the drum kit, including a foot pedal and sticks, and a microphone, as well as a USB hub.
If you have both Wii and PS2 platforms, I suggest you go with the PS2 version, as the equipment is essentially the same but you will probably pay less (often as much as $40) for the PS2 version. The guitar is wireless anyway on the PS2 version so there's no need to get the Wii version!
PROS:
* Reasonable price/value
* Enough songs to keep you entertained for quite a while (over 60 when all are unlocked).
* Intense enough on expert mode for the most savvy Guitar hero players, but simple enough for beginners to play too, especially using the microphone.
CONS:
* No download feature
* On the microphone, there is no way to move through game configuration/song choices microphone without a game controller also hooked up. Not a huge deal, but an annoyance.
NOTES:
*Playing the drums on this game is fun, but make no mistake. It is not like playing the drums, even on expert mode, regardless of what the ads or some reviews may say. It is loads of fun, but I've been playing drums for close to 40 years and am very familiar with some of the songs included with the game, and in Easy mode, Expert mode, whatever, these are not like playing the drums. But it is a lot of fun, just like Guitar Hero is awesome but its not going to teach you how to play guitar.
* Opportunities for solos are frequent and are loads of fun, especially on drums!
* The singing portion of this game is a lot of fun and younger players will love it as a way to join in the action!
One of the best group games out there, if not the best!
Rock Band August 7, 2008
I got the box delivered few days after my order, no delays which was good. The was nicely packaged and secured. I found everything included nothing missing, and recently The drum pedal broke and I called warranty and they were very cooperative and they said the will send me a replacement immediately, they even gave me the tracking number. I think over all everything is cool regarding this game.
