Great Fun with the kids! October 21, 2008 EMTP EJ (Washington, DC USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We play this together almost every day. The kids play it for hours at a time, even though we have had it for a while. I just wish we had another guitar! We are looking forward to the next version for more songs!

Fun for everyone, better than Twister! October 16, 2009 Daniel A. Mccormick (Western Michigan, USA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I picked this up with the Wii Beatles release and am so happy to have my kids learning the songs I grew up with! The drums are great, the guitar is better than regular Wii issue. My wife and I held off on electronic games, nintendo, Xbox, all the others because there is no action like the Wii where you stand, jump, and reall move around. Skeptical at fiirst when thei (Wii) arrived, but totally sold now! Don't wait another day, get one NOW!
Rock Band Wii Game August 1, 2008 J. Rooney All the fun of Karioki without splitting your ears.
Anytime friends visit, Rock Band is a must. Everyone wants to play it. I was afraid the singing part would sour it, but they've done an excellent job. Not only does having the vocal track backing you up _really_ help, the pitch feedback and scoring actually gets people (thankfully) trying to sing on key.
The guitars are super fun as anyone that's played Guitar Hero will attest to. The drums are killer. Practice mode sold me on it. You can slow each song down and they're sorted by difficulty. This makes learning much easier.
It's insanely fun.
Great Game! :) March 12, 2010 John O. Plumer Jr. (Canton, MA USA) This is an amazing game :) I just love all the Rock Band Games and the 5 extra songs are a definite bonus. I would recommend this version to anyone who is considering it.
