Rock Band

[Shizelbs]

Well, I've got the day off and I am on my way out the door to pick up the whole package for Rock Band. Anyone else doing the same today? I am pretty excited for it. Should be a lot of fun. I am mostly looking forward to playing the drums.

There is already quite a bit of downloadable content on Xbox Live for it.

[Refefer]

It's hellofa lotta fun. Enjoy!

[Shizelbs]

Just played for about an hour. Yeah, its hella fun. The guitar bundled sucks. I went back to using the wirless guitar from GH3. The drums are hard. Its totally different. I thought they were going to be a lot easier. I can barely get through songs on medium with the drum.

[Sherardp]

I seen this, waiting to hear feedback from others before I buy, looks fun though.

[zombie boy 2000]

I had a blast demoing the drums at Best Buy. I actually have to give the edge to them over playing guitar on GH. Maybe I just like to bang on things.

[BaggedLancer]

Maybe I just like to bang things.


Hah, i have a sick mind..... cause that's all I saw out of your entire reply(edit included) :D:eek::D

I have terrible hand eye coordination so I think this game isn't for me.

I bought this last night and played for a couple hours on drums. Very fun. I was having some issues getting the right hand and right foot to work together lol. Got it for $129 sale price at American TV where I work, cheaper than my employee discount. I don't know if it's that price at other locations besides Des Moines, but it doesn't hurt to check if you are near one of the other stores.

[mutelight]

Don't own it myself yet however, two of my friends have it and I have played a good few hours on it. Certainly a whole lot of fun especially with four players.

that's a great deal, fs! I can't find a single copy around here, let alone at that price. Anymore copy in your store?

ps: is this for XBOX 360?

There were 7 more last night.

Is it worth to own RB AND GH3 both?

We bought GH3 for the kid Christmas present, so RB would complement or duplicate?

[fireshoes]

Definitely get both. More songs, but adding the drumming (and I assume vocals, haven't tried yet) makes it a really different game. I haven't had my friends over yet, but I can see Rock Band being better for gatherings/family events.

[Shizelbs]

I like RB much better.

[polkatese]

I see. I guess getting both is an option, and lose the use of my system for a while, until they get tired of the band. :)

thanks guys!

[Sherardp]

Been playing GH3 since last week, bought Rock Band today and must say its a very good title, if you like GH3 then you'll love RB. Graphis are very good and the soundtracks sound awesome. I agree RB is better. Both are a must, this stuff is addicting.

I obviously have no rhythm because I can't get past Green Grass and High Tides on medium.

I keep failing at about the 85-90%. :mad:

I practically have the first half of the song memorized. :rolleyes:

This is on drums of course.

I have noticed once that kick drum starts to come in heavy I start losing my rhythm. One of my friends is a really good drummer and he absolutely demolishes tracks on expert. I am very jealous.

[howie777]

I finally beat Green Grass and High Tides on Medium with the drums! I swear I was 99.999999% to failing when I saw the end!!!!!! I think I ended wiht 88% and 4 stars. Holy crap that is the most tiring song. You need about 2 hours inbetween attempts just to rest! :D I was getting so mad as I was doing so well through about 98% of the song then I just couldn't keep going, but somehow I hit enough to get me through. I'm not sure I even want to play on hard after this...

I damn near failed it on the guitar, whoa that song is kick a$$. I was going to post up on it as well. I swear my fingers were going to fall off during that solo. I made it though, whew.

[fireshoes]

Yeah, that one is a lot of fun to play (at least on guitar; I'm sure drums would kill me).

[BeRad]

I jumped right into drums on medium and/or hard on band world tour mode. So much fun! Albeit I already had pretty good separation control between my right foot and hands.

I recommend all who buy this game check out the forums on the rock band website to see the mods people are doing to the guitars and drums. I already fixed my guitar myself and re-enforced the bass pedal after it started to crack ***YOURS WILL CRaCK!*** They all will ;) Also padding the inside sensor on the red pad really does help for quick pick-ups on rolls.

I don't know if I like this game more than GHIII though. Multiplayer (mixed with drinking) Is insane fun, but I think I still prefer GHIII for solo play.

Is there certain thread you looked at for those mods? If so could you post a link?

Thanks!

[dbaldus]

Yeah, my drum pedal also cracked, had to get it replaced through Harmonix. It ended up being a pretty painless process - filled out a form online, they sent me a box with a new pedal in it and I was supposed to send back the broken pedal (or else my credit card would be charged, I believe). Took about 4 days for me to get a new pedal after filling out the form online, so not too bad.

But I am also interested in seeing the link to those forums for reinforcing the pedal so I never have to go 4 days without Rock Band again!

[fireshoes]

Molly Hatchet is killing me on hard. :(

Flirtin' with disaster, indeed!

[Sherardp]

Decided to go ahead and order the Bundle so I can start trying out the Drums, I can use the extra guitar as well.

[newbie2k8]

curious

[Shizelbs]

Have you played any of the Guitar Hero games?

[Sherardp]

very well worth it, its damn near like being on a stage for real. On my setup I have it cranked and like to rock out on the guitar, I cant wait to try the drums.

[cmy330go]

I don't even care for these types of games and I'd say it's worth it. It's especially great for groups.

[Sherardp]

now this guy is bananas, watch his skill level at the end

[shawn474]

That guy is SICK!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE to get this game (after I get a 360 or PS3).

Shawn

[shawn474]

Got this game over the weekend for the PS3 and it is a ton of fun. Had my wife on the vocals, brother on the guitar and myself on the drums. My 3 year old was jamming with an older Guitar Hero guitar that wasn't hooked up and had a blast as well. Now if I could just get past the EASY stage.......:D

I just wanted to point out that two months and twelve days after this post, I finally beat Molly Hatchet to finish my guitar career on hard. :cool:

[cmy330go]

You're a junky.:D
