Rock Band

[WilliamLowe]

Picked it up today finally. I've been playing video games for 18 years, and there just isn't any other video game experience that lives up to rocking out with a full band on this game. We're having a dozen or so people over for a late Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and I can't wait...it'll be like a concert in my living room.

Also, it's crazy how much better this game looks then GH3. Especially w/ regards to the animations on the singer and drummer. GH3's animations look almost mechanical at times, everything on this game is smooth and pretty much spot on w/ the rhythm.

Played this last night at a friends place.

* We used a second guitar he had from GH2 as the bass.

* It was a lot of fun.

* I found the guitar a lot easier on easy/med than GH is on easy/med.

* Agree that its not for apts, it gets loud.

* Singing is fun, but I find the little "yellow" sections where you get extra points for saying whatever kind of weird (although friends were getting into it, throwing in woos and such).

* We found that you don't need to be accurate in the words, just like the timing of making noise and the pitch. You can get "awesome" just saying Ooooh and Aaah the right way when you should be saying words. Of course that isn't as much fun.

* Drums was my favorite part by far, it was really good, I could do it well on easy by the end, but on medium I had trouble when the pedal got really involved.

* I didn't like that they cut out the swearing. Seeing "You're so very special" on the lyrics line for 'Creep' was sad, but like I said, you can slip [censored] in there and not lose points.

* Friend bought the game yesterday morning, and we played last night from like 1030-1. By 1 the rims around the drums were scuffed up pretty good, but I guess thatll happen when you have a bunch of drinking drummers who haven't ever played the instrument.

* It's just too damn expensive or I'd pick it up, still b/w GH @ 100 and this at like 170, I think this is a better value.

* I had trouble getting the guitar to recognize when I was moving it up to use star power or whatever.

yeah what's up with that? i can't get star power to activate with the new guitar. have to hit that dumb button. sucks.

I think having someone sing for this game is one of the dumbest things ever. Who would want to do that?
