5 out of 5 stars Rock Band Special Edition Review   January 6, 2009
Amy M. Franklin (Syracuse, NY USA)
This is great fun for the whole family. We have enjoyed using it since Christmas Day. Rock Band is easy for everyone to use and a must have.


5 out of 5 stars Great gift for young and old   January 6, 2009
Georgianne Walker (Kansas City USA)
My husband and I purchased Rock Bank for a gift for our Grandchildren. They loved it and so did our daughter and her husband. Then we got in on the act. We had quite a band going. What a fun game for the whole family. Family time is so important and how great it is when everone is enjoying it.


5 out of 5 stars Great, but Guitar didn't work...   January 6, 2009
DeWe (Newport, RI)
Great game, lots of fun! Guitar didn't connect, so we decided not to give it another try but to send the game back. Bought RB2 instead, with which now the down-button on the guitar doesn't work... We'll keep the game this time because the Guitar Hero guitars (the ones you put the controllers inside) work with RB2 (NOT WITH RB), just to be on the safe side...
Nevertheless, we like RB better than Guitar Hero, and we greatly recommend this game!!!


5 out of 5 stars GREAT gift for 2009   January 6, 2009
Michelle Ayala (Flushing, NY)
My son already had Rockband for the PS2 and we play it all of the time so I already knew how much fun it was. I bought this one for my cousins children and they LOVED IT. They played with it from time we got there at 12pm until I left at 8pm. They were very grateful. I love it because because the whole family can play.


5 out of 5 stars Great Fun!   January 6, 2009
Cindy M. Kessel (AZ)
Rockband is great for the whole family. Our family- ages 4 to 88 all played and had a great time. Easy and fun for all talent levels. If you add an extra guitar, then four people can play at once.
