 Okay, so here's why all the bad reviews are wrong... sort of... June 27, 2008

First off, this is a great game. Addictive play, that's easy to catch on to, even if you are not a kid and not a gamer. The rating suffer considerably due to comparison to the XBox and PS3 versions. Sadly, the Wii just doesn't have the power or hard drive to allow for all the features of the PS3/XBox versions (shortcomings are well described in other reviews). That having been said, the core gameplay is intact and is a blast. If you own a PS3/XBox, by all means, buy this game for that platform, its a better deal since the price is the same. If you only own a Wii, however, don't hesitate to buy this. You will love it.

Rock Band for the Wii -- In the Name of Rock and Roll November 11, 2008

I love my Rock Band for my Wii. I landed it for my birthday this past summer. It was the only item I had on my wish list at the time. I'm 39 years old, and love this game.
This game really brings out the fun and functionality of the Wii. You can sing, play drums, bass guitar, lead guitar until your hearts content. I love the components of this set.
The drum set, featuring Rock Band drumsticks, is the coolest drumkit I have ever played. I set it up for the first time on the night of my birthday, and felt like my name was Peter Criss from Kiss.
The guitar controller far outranks the Guitar Hero controller. It looks, feels and sounds like a real Fender Stratocaster. Sure it has the same set of buttons the Guitar Hero controller does, but baby, that other set of buttons is the real difference maker. The other set of buttons I'm referring to is the solo set. When the time comes down to getting in a real hot solo, or a big rock ending, just let loose on the solo buttons. Also you never need to insert a remote into this puppy.
The microphone brings out the vocalist in me. I have it on a real cool mic stand. Of course it needs a wireless mic holder, but that's a minor thing. Hearing my voice amplified through my home theater system in 5.1 surround is better than any studio setup.
As far as the interface goes, the USB hookup is awesome. The tutorials are really great. On a whole, if you're a musician like me, or have a real band to play with, get your hand on Rock Band.
Rock on Baby!
Amazing! December 7, 2008

I got this game for my dad (52) to entertain himself while he recovers from knee surgery, and so I could enjoy it when I come home from college. Turns out that the pain meds he is on make him a little (really) un-coordinated while playing, and he just gets frustrated, but he is really excited to play when he starts weaning off of the medication.
I was amazed to hear my mother, who normally hates video games, proclaim after playing a few songs: "ok, just one more, then I am going to bed." She ended up stopping after 5 more songs.
It is a very fun game for most people and very fun to play with a large group. I have played the Xbox360 version, and this is very similar, the only difference being that you cannot customize what your character looks like. Other than that I cannot really find and other changes.
Great Game! Love it.
