Pros
Cons
Presentation
Menu's are great, the bands mood change depending on the part of the song, sometimes the crowd will start singing along to certain songs if you're doing good. Overall very good presentation.
5/5
Graphics
Very well done for a music game. The bars or whatever you want to call it of music coming down the screen are much sleeker than Guitar Hero 3 and overall much better looking.
4.5/5
Gameplay
The most fun music game i've ever played. Even more fun when playing with friends as a band.
5/5
Sound
Great soundtrack and over 200 DLC songs to date.
5/5
Online
Not as fun as playing with people in real life but still very good. Just as long as you're not in a room with someone who's difficulty level is medium but they decide to play on Expert.
4/5
Lasting Appeal
DLC will keep you coming back but even just the basic soundtrack and game is good enough to keep you coming back until Rock Band 2.
5/5
Overall
If you're looking for the ultimate music game experience then Rock Band is undeniably better than Guitar Hero 3.
5/5
- First music game ever with drums, which are a blast to play
- Great soundtrack and an insane amount of DLC
- Very fun to play as a band both in real life and online
- The other multiplayer aspects such as the battles are also great fun
- Awesome character customization, which can be used online
- Great character animation including the drummer, the overall mood of the performance seems to go a lot better with the song than Guitar Hero 3
Cons
- Drums are very loud to play
