RSS Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Being a longtime fan of music games and a recent Guitar Hero II convert, to say I was hungrily awaiting the arrival of the appropriate Harmonix follow-up would be a serious understatement. And while I'd been anxious about the release of some highly anticipated games in the past, this wasn't quite the same thing. I wasn't just hungry for more, I was emaciated; my interest grew to the point that I was checking the Rock Band Wikipedia entry on a daily basis, hoping for a revelation about a new track or an as-yet-unrevealed feature. Even after Activision's Guitar Hero III arrived a month prior, presumably to sweep me off my feet, my appetite remained. And, though I didn't go so far as to reserve a copy (the steep price tag left me leery), I did finally sprint to Circuit City on launch day, corner a warehouse associate as he unloaded the shipment and hurriedly snag the first copy to hit the floor. I've never looked back. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/v/rock-band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Now I want this game... but... but I don't have room for the guitars and drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sounds pretty sweet. Nice review drq! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Pretty much agreed on everything. The game is lots of fun. I had to sell it, unfortunately, due to money and time constraints, but I think I may pick it up again somewhere down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Only Drq could use the word "emaciated" in a video game review. I've noticed that the PS2 version doesn't have nearly as much start-up time, mostly because there is no forced character creation. Of course, this comes at the expense of having no DLC. Good stuff.

drqshadow Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thanks, guys. It really is a great game! Yoda, I was concerned about space too, but it actually stows away very easily. I had a harder time finding room for my pair of hard-backed DDR pads than I did for the drums, guitar and mic that come along with Rock Band. We're actually having a Rock Band party at the office in two and a half hours. Not that I'm counting the minutes or anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Okay, you guys have seriously got to stop making me want to buy games. I have no money as it is. I got Bioshock; what else do you want from me? Don't look at me... I'm not crying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Man, this game still hasn't come out here, and this review only makes the pain worse. Nice work man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
