Developed by Harmonix, creators of the blockbuster Guitar Hero franchise, Rock Band is an all-new platform for gamers ready to take on the challenges of the Rock & Roll lifestyle. Instruments available to players are guitar, bass, drums or vocals as they hit the road as either an aspiring superstar solo act, or for the first time in game genre history take on the true collaborative and challenging nature of music as they form a band and jam together in multiplayer action. Either way players will need to master their stage presence through the various game modes and polish their rock chops via the unrivaled Rock Band song list if they hope to make it out of the garage, into the clubs and finally on to the main stage.

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Lots of fun…but beware
The product information is not completely correct. It is stated that one can ‘create own band/players’ with this game…this cannot be done. We are searched many web sites & spoken with many other players, & no one has found any way to do this, which is what our son was looking forward to doing. He played it 5 times & sold it. Other than that, as long as one has a LOT of patience, this is quite fun.
5 Stars Rock Band rocks!
We bought this game for our daughter’s 13th birthday. She had a party that night with 7 friends. Our house was very loud that night with 8 kids having a lot of fun with this game.
5 Stars Rock Band ROCKS!
This game just rocks! It makes me want to upgrade to PS3 just for the added game fun and graphics.
5 Stars Part-ay!
Get a group of friends together and get ready to be up all night, baby! Because once you start playing Rock Band you’ll never want to stop. It’s freaking addicting and fun. Only problem I have is it won’t play on my slim PS2. Other than that a very good game. Just needs a better selection of songs.
5 Stars Great Game
I bought this for my daughter who is a drummer in the High School band. She uses it to hone her skills, and have fun at the same time. She says its great, so whom I to agrue…..
