Rock Band is loads of fun!, Anyone play yet? Options

[SJN1279]

I just got Rock Band for Xbox 360 for Xmas and it is one of the most fun games I ever played. I'm doing okay on easy leve and find it easier to songs that I'm familar with as long as the pitch isn't out of control.

Who has or has played this game and what do they think?

We almost got Guitar Hero for our 8 year old son for Christmas (he has Playstation 2) but we saw some kids younger than him acing it in Best Buy and it reminded me of the game Simon and looked like it'd get boring as hell fast, considering 5 year olds were doing it like it was nothing. Some friends of ours got it a while back for their 10 year old son, and the dad plays it more than the kid, but he said it's not really like guitar, its more a rhythm skill, like drumming. If it really was like playing guitar, I'd be into myself.

Anyway, my aunt teaches guitar, she gave me a Fender amp for him and I need to get him a guitar. Would Guitar Hero help him learn at all - or does he need a real guitar?

I saw Rock Star in stores. Do they make it for Playstation 2? Fill me in about it. Can my family of 4 all play together?

Happy New Year y'all !!
