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.Last edited by Bornindamecca; 11-16-2007, 11:06 AM.Comment

Re: Harmonix's Next Game Revealed...Rock Band
Just read some impressions on the RockBand website. I could see the World Tour mode getting very annoying. One guy said you can't just pick the songs, they are picked for you. 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..LOLI just can't decide about this one. At one point, I'm all about this and will be buying it next week, then I hear something that's just stupid and makes me not want to spend the $$. 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.Here is the review from OXM. It got a 9.5

Re: Harmonix's Next Game Revealed...Rock Band
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.www.simgamingnetwork.com Come join our leagues!

Re: Harmonix's Next Game Revealed...Rock Band
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..LOLComment

It's back to a must own..LOL, 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.Comment

Re: Harmonix's Next Game Revealed...Rock Band
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.Comment

Re: Harmonix's Next Game Revealed...Rock Band
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!Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

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!
