Title: Rock Band game
Post by: brianlove8 on February 06, 2008, 07:03:47 PM
I really love this game. I play with my friends every chance we get. I have the drums, microphone, and guitars. Just strike the instrument before it hits the bar so your audience wouldn't boo you.

You guys should get one, you'll have fun.

I think if I was in a cover band I would be scared of stuff like this and Guitar Hero. Its going to drive them out of business!. I've seen even seen clubs having Rock band and Guitar hero nights set aside.

I mean who wants to stand there watching people do covers when you can actually be in the band with this game. :lol:

LOL!

There's no comparison between a real band and F* GuitarHero, I personally don't really understand what's exciting about it...

People could always just go outside and play any sport, but there are still sports video games. Nobody complains about sports video games like they complain (aka be elitist) about Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

Well, I don't think most people actually complain about it, they just express their amazement on how it's so overrated. Sports games, race games whatever normally have a great deal of skill to them. What's skilled about pretending to play guitar ? Why not just play the real thing since you're also moving your hands anyway ?

Yeah, right.

The game that was never actually released in Canada, at least not en masse. A few shops here and there got 1 or 2 copies. I was eagerly awaiting for it, but in the end (having preordered it in September and waited for months) got so pissed that I decided not to buy it at all. I cancelled my preorder and to hell with EA.

Oddly enough, GH III sold out in December and I still can't find a single copy anywhere (futureshop, best buy, amazon, eb games, toys'r'us, etc)... unless it's the PC version, but who wants that. :pissed:

"...shouldn't.."

Hey I think people should do what they want, as long as they don't harm anyone and like it go for it. My point is simple, if you're gonna screw your wrists there's better and more satisfing things to it, this is just ... I don't even know how to classify it.. nothing!
BTW Wii sports is a bad comparison, but let's just agree to disagree, it's not worth it ;)
