    That's the problem for me though, most of the songs are also on GH3, granted there are many differences as well.

    I know I'll end up with the bundle, only because I won't want to miss out on drumming.

      Yeah, the whole drums aspect of the big box is what keeps me coming back. No way I would pay $60 to play the GH3 set list plus a few songs.

        Here is the review from OXM. It got a 9.5

        apologies if this was posted.

        Just as an aside, I think most people who haven't ever been in a band are underestimating just how much better the band experience is than the single instrument experience. It's really night and day. You can have fun and do cool stuff on your own, but the "magic" that is playing with a band is just out of this world. According to this review, the game nails that, and that's what is going to really shock people who've never had that experience. That and the fact that the drums on Expert will leave you with the ability to actually play these songs on drums. That's just insane.

He said he's played the Weezer song like 20 times already, and hasn't seen over half the songs yet. Every gig he has to play the Weezer song. If you hate a song, that could make World Tour verrrrrry long.

          People were asking if he's played Enter Sandman and he said no, and he's been playing for a couple days. You can't just choose any of the songs to just play, they have to be unlocked, and he has no clue how to go through other than continually play the same songs over and over and over again.

          I really hope he sucks at the game and is wrong..LOL

I put 5 games on ebay to offset the cost of this if I decide to buy it, but I just don't know. It's not exactly going to be the easiest thing to sell on ebay if you don't like it considering the box is so damn big.

          I guess, I keep thinking that as well. If the drums end up not being that much fun, then I have another Guitar Hero, with many of the same songs repeated. So torn on it, I have it fully paid off, but just wonder if I'm wasting money on it and it'll sit there.

          EDIT - thread in question



          I guess it's because you are a "band" and your fans expect you to play the same hits every gig. I mean, this could get really old.

          I agree with you guys, I continue to go back and forth on this one myself the more I read some of the impressions. I sometimes think that maybe I should just buy the game itself and use the wireless GH3 guitar......but then I'll miss out on the drums and even the new guitar............and getting my wife to sing should be fun. I guess they tried to make some things as life like as possible.

            I wouldn't buy this game without the bundle. The drum and mic is what I am excited to play. I have both GH's, I need to be a drum hero now.

              Well, on lunch 3 of us headed to Best Buy. We ended up playing for over an hour, had a crowd of about 10 people behind us. Detroit Rock City was a freaking blast to play. Not really understanding some of the stuff on the screen, but that song ruled. Drumming, insane, I sucked at it, but my buddy (who is a drummer) was tearing it up.

              Tom Sawyer, drumming on medium..good GOD!

              It's back to a must own..LOL

                  I can imagine you EX , running around the cubes at work rallying up the troops to go play Rock Band at Best Buy to reassure you purchase. Would have been a perfect youtube video. I need something to reassure this purchase for myself. LOL!

                    That's pretty much what it was...3 of us on the fence, and then jamming out. My buddy and I got all into it in Best Buy, I was even posing for the crowd of 10 senior citizens.

                      That is cool that you had a blast with it, with Thanksgiving around the corner I know we all will have fun with it.

                        Yeah, Thanksgiving is at my house this year, so that's going to be the activity at night.

                          Thanksgiving is at my brothers house, so I'll have to truck the 360 and RB equip to his house. So that is going to suck, but playing with everyone should be fun.

                              It wasn't up and running, but I saw it set up (just the game not on)...I dunno, I wasn't gonna buy this anyways (too expensive), and the drum thing looks cool, but I know it's something I'd play for a week or so and that's it. I can justify a regular game for that, not Rock Band though. However, if you're gonna rock with a bunch of friends, etc, then go for it!

                                IGN Video Review is up on their site.

                                Looks like the friend might be willing to drive down to the States so I can get the game earlier!
