Rock Band is Fun

We got an early Christmas present from a buddy of mine over the past weekend and have been rocking out since then. The game is totally different from the norm and its replay value is pretty high.

The game comes with a mic, guitar and drum set so that more people can get involved and play together. I won’t go into a full review, but just point out some quick pros and cons that stood out to me.

Rock Band Pros
Fun and entertaining
Time killer
Different from the normal games
Playing the drums gets your heart rate up and is possibly burning calories (yeah, weird right?)
Tons of songs to play and more to download from Xbox live
Goal setter – something to work on and get better at
Good party or group game

Rock Band Cons
Damn wires…too many of them laying around
Requires hand and eye cordination…not for the lazy
Has a learning curve and easy is not easy
Hard to get online – I still haven’t figured it out
Needs some Hip Hop songs in the line up
Timing seems off and gets frustrating at times

If you got friends, family and money, I would recommend getting Rock Band for your next gathering.
