Customer Reviews

Average Rating:

Rating: - Awesome game, very addictive
The game is absolutely sensational; its main drawback is that it is so addictive you might end up spending too much time playing it.

The only thing I would have liked (and the reason for which I gave it 4 stars) is a better choice of songs --- I know copyright issues were probably important here, but there are so many songs that are much more popular than many of the included ones. This is partially solved by the extension packs (or the soon-to-be-released Rock Band 2, which is a different ... Read More

Rating: - Buy for Xbox 360 or Play Station instead.
Rock Band for Wii overall is a fun game, but if you also own one of the other consoles this game comes out on, I would recommend getting it for that system.

PROS:
*Rock Band has a great variety of songs
*It has four instruments, allowing for the whole family to play.
*It has a great variety of old and newer songs, so some older ... Read More

Rating: - Rock Band is incredible, but on Wii I'd wait for Rock Band 2
I've spent hundreds, maybe thousands of hours playing Rock Band on Xbox 360. It's possibly the most fun and addictive video game ever made. However, I know of at least one person who, after playing with me on my Xbox, bought the Wii version and was bitterly disappointed. There's no character creation, no Band World Tour Mode, and no ability to download additional songs, which almost everyone agrees are among the very best parts of the game. Wii Rock Band 2 Special Edition is coming out within the next ... Read More

Rating: - Rock Band for the Wii -- In the Name of Rock and Roll
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 ... Read More
