This is easily one of the best games of 2007. Taking the good of Guitar Hero and stripping out the bad, Rock Band succeeds on almost every level.
- The instruments feel and play better than it's rival and rocking out with your pals in the same room really brings it all home.
- Downloadable content every week pretty much guarantees there's something for everyone to continue the experience well beyond the campaign mode.
- The song list is fantastic and the difficulty ramps up on a very good scale.
- Online VS. play is fun and challenging.
My only complaint is that you can't play the world tour online with your Xbox Live buddies. Apparently this will be fixed in Rock Band 2 and international rocking can commence. And there are minor quibbles around the sometimes confusing interface.
A 5 out of 5.
