that shit is hard man. The drums look simple but forgetaboutit. the singing is easier than those things. get if if you got kids that love video games and love music.

Seen that game...looks really cool. I guess you can play online with other people and form bands. I'm sure some band will get signed from the game.

Does it require actual musical ability or just gaming skills?

I love that game.

Musical ability helps, but it's not a must.

Playing the drums kicks ass.

I don't get these games, they are so boring for me. I guess it's addicting like tetris which I also never got into, I like my games to have more stuff going on, these just seem so damn repetitive.

Rock band seems to require a little more musical skill than guitar hero but I haven't played either more than 15 minutes or so.

Haven't played it yet but I look forward to it. I'm not much of a gamer but I really like guitar hero and mx vs. atv unleashed.

What's cool about those games is that they introduce young kids to music they otherwise wouldn't have much exposure to. My 8 year old can instantly recognize so much classic rock now simply from playing guitar hero so much.

I never worked up a sweat playing Tetris.

Rock Band is a great party game.

My grandkids kill me on Guitar hero, so my wife bought it for me for my birthday.

It took a while to get thru Slow Ride on medium and my best is about 80+% notes hit.
Problem is I'm so sick of the song I could puke.

I've been turning the sound off and just using hand-eye to hit the notes. Seems adding hearing to the mix adds confusion when the dreaded blue 4th button notes kick in.

The drums arent that hard! First time I got on there I was getting 99% on the songs!

That game is fun, more fun then guitar hero.
