Customer Reviews

More than I expected
Immense fun: Whilst I accept that Rock Band for the Wii is a watered down version of the game available on other platforms, it's still immense fun. The playability is just as strong as on the PS3. Whether you can choose a player character seems to me to be irrelevent to the overall gaming experience, though I accept downloadable tracks would have been a nice touch.

No controller issues: Now that the instrument controllers have their own input pads there's no need to have one game controller per instrument controller. The only extra game controller needed is for the mic, and since you get one of those with your shiny new Wii console there should be no issues in that department.

Lots of Bang for your Buck: The one thing that struck me as soon as I opened the box (one week ago - early June 2009) was the quality of the product. The instruments are sturdy and weighty and feel well put together. Even the mic impresses you with its solidity (if you felt so inclined you could knock someone out with it*). Obviously I haven't had them long enough to give them a proper road test but they feel good quality. Actually I was suprised how much you get for the price.

So there you have it, immense fun, no controller issues and plenty of bang for your buck. My only gripe would be that the game Rock Band should be bundled with the instrument box.

*Knocking people out with your mic, I'm sure, would invalidate your warranty. And would in any case be an extremely naughty thing to do.

Ignore the reviews by PS3 owners this game ROCKS!
The Rock band game on the Wii is absolutely fantastic, create your own band and rock out with your friends, it has more pick-up-and-play appeal than the other formats of Rock band and judging by the slating that the Xbox 360 version got on amazon this is the one to get! 10/10

band in a box....
well...
i purchased this around two weeks ago,
it has good and bad points too it.
Its a fantastic laugh! especially when there are a few of you playing..
its multiplayer.. so your friends wont feel left out, plus you wont feel like an idiot playing alone :)
it does hurt your hands after a while but thats to be expected lol!

Only two bad things to say about this overall,it doesn't come with the game, and you only get provided with one guitar, other than that i would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys having a good laugh! :D
