Developed by Harmonix, creators of the blockbuster Guitar Hero franchise, Rock Band is an all-new platform for gamers ready to take on the challenges of the Rock & Roll lifestyle. Instruments available to players are guitar, bass, drums or vocals as they hit the road as either an aspiring superstar solo act, or for the first time in game genre history take on the true collaborative and challenging nature of music as they form a band and jam together in multiplayer action. Either way players will need to master their stage presence through the various game modes and polish their rock chops via the unrivaled Rock Band song list if they hope to make it out of the garage, into the clubs and finally on to the main stage.

5 out of 5 stars Rock band Rules   January 6, 2009
L. Barnes (Fairfax, VA USA)
My girls and their friends play this for hours. Good songs for all ages.


3 out of 5 stars Certain PS2'S   January 6, 2009
Charles D. Sexton (n.c)
Alot of fun but it will only work on certain ps2's.Would not work on ours so my daughter borrows her friends to play.


5 out of 5 stars Great game - more songs than you think - BUT BEWARE of Amazon shipping bait and switch   January 2, 2009
S. Koepper (Long Island, NY)
Let me start by saying that the PRODUCT offered here is a great game for PS2 and a great price. If you want a fun family game that everyone can share and enjoy, rock band is it.

Now onto the problem... I ordered this item on December 27th through Amazon prime. I paid extra for the "OVERNIGHT" shipping option so that it would arrive BEFORE New Years Eve (as it was planned for a party). It was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday December 30th which would have left PLENTY of time. HOWEVER - AMAZON's useless shipping department did not send this package overnight-as I paid for. They instead decided that UPS ground would suffice since it was shipping within the same zone. HERE is the problem with this fraudulent practice - UPS, like any other shipper prioritizes it packages based on actual shipping service purchased. Since this item was a GROUND package, it sat on the truck ALL day and ultimately was returned to the distribution center AFTER 7:00 PM. Also, since it was GROUND, it did not go out for delivery on the following day (12/31) since this was a limited service day for air packages only. AGAIN, if Amazon had shipped it properly, it would have been delivered on 12/31. REMEMBER I PAID for OVERNIGHT service. To prove this shipping problem was caused by Amazons practice of not properly handling a shipment, I can site another order. This order was also place with Amazon prime on MONDAY 12/29. Since it was not urgent, I opted for the FREE 2nd Day delivery. That package actually shipped via 2nd day air (as expected) and due to class of serivce (air) it was delivered on 12/31 (the holiday). It is now FRIDAY 1/2 and I still have not yet rec'd my Rock Band order. IT WILL BE REFUSED WHENEVER IT IS FINALLY DELIVERED as I bought the exact same product from Walmart on Wednesday morning for the SAME PRICE.

I complained to Amazon about this and the best they would do is refund my shipping and offer me $5.00 off my NEXT purchase. Why would I purchase from them again after this terrible experience.

In summary - BEWARE OF THE SHIPPING Bait and Switch!



5 out of 5 stars Great Game!! Works with Guitar Hero World Tour Game   January 1, 2009
nikki82 (colorado)
I will keep it short. This is a very fun game to play for everyone and all the pieces(drums, mic and guitar) work with the newest Guitar Hero game (at least the PS2 version). This is worth the money you will not regret this purchase.

Brenda Oakley (East Tennessee)
My daughter began to play this immediately Christmas day. The whole family loves it. I love the convenience of shopping on Amazon. It arrived in a timely manner and was a lower price than in stores on Black Friday. Thank you for making my shopping easier. I will continue to shop here instead of in stores on Black Friday.
