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?

Had to revive this thread.

This game is a lot of fun. Try playing bass on hard for songs like Blackened or And Justice For All from Metallica, it is crazy hard. The guitar is actually kind of similar except that you are hitting colored buttons instead of strings. The strumming is the same, just not nearly as much movement on the other hand.

My buddy, who is damn good on a real guitar, plays most of the songs on expert and the notes come unbelieveably fast. I can't believe he hits them the way he does. We play in his basement in a soundproof room on a system that pumps almost 1,500 watts. Dude has his system hooked up to his receiver and it pumps some serious sound.

I think Live would be a good fit for this game due to the difficulty of the vocals. But there are probably only a handful of songs that would be challenging on the instruments such as I alone, Stage and probably a few others.

We should get together and email the company who made the game and makes the deals with the record companies for the rights to the music. I think their name is harmonix and they are owned by Viacom with MTV something or other being a parent company that's getting involved in order to get some of the music out of the record companies.

I'll post the Wikipedia link that talks all about it tomorrow or something. It's too late now and I'm tired and high.
