5 Stars xbox 360 elite brings family together
We are having so much fun with this game. Everyting works great and it brings our family together and we can all take turns on all the instruments and we all get to sing.We have unlocked alot of the songs already so we are doing good.

5 Stars Rock Band 2 vs Guitar Hero World Tour
There are plenty of reviews out there for this game. I just want to point out something to help with the decision many are asking. “Which one should I buy?” Well, personally, I’ve gotten both and think everyone should but if you are limited to one choice, consider this. The Rock Band 2 game currently overs you a much larger available setlist of songs via DLC (downloadable content). I personally have over 500 songs for my Rock Band 2 game and while I have more fun sometimes playing some of the songs on World Tour because of the new features that were incorporated, I would choose my larger setlist game in the long run. It seems the Rock Band 2 folks are working harder to get more songs for us than with Guitar Hero.

5 Stars Fun for everyone
My usual gaming preference is RPGs, and in the past I would never even give this type of game a second look, but I have to give credit where credit is due. We’ve had family, friends, and neighbors over and there have been near riots over who gets to play next. Even my jaded, clinically depressed, and medicated family members, who normally respond to everything with “This sucks- you should die for even trying to get me to have fun” had a blast. One said, “Wow. This is better than crack.” (Sadly, she might actually know if that’s true.)

The whole bundle is a great value, especially as it has provided entertainment for so many. The wireless devices have worked flawlessly and seem to hold up well.

I took off one star the overall “Fun” rating because there aren’t *that* many modern songs out of the box that I know people would want to play/sing, although I understand more are available for download. That’s our next step.

Overall, good stuff, even for people who generally don’t game.

5 Stars Most fun I’ve had in a while
Here’s all you need to know about this game. I’m 37 years old and a father of two. When I bought this, I thought it was a blast. One night, we broke this thing out during a party and we were up jamming until 3am. What a blast.
