Developed by Harmonix, creators of the blockbuster Guitar Hero franchise, Rock Band is an all-new platform for gamers ready to take on the challenges of the Rock & Roll lifestyle. Instruments available to players are guitar, bass, drums or vocals as they hit the road as either an aspiring superstar solo act, or for the first time in game genre history take on the true collaborative and challenging nature of music as they form a band and jam together in multiplayer action from home or around the world. Either way players will need to master their stage presence through the various game modes and polish their rock chops via the unrivalled Rock Band song list if they hope to make it out of the garage, into the clubs and finally on to the main stage.


Extensive Game Modes.
Rock Band delivers four music games in one – challenging rockers to master lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals through the five separate game modes.

  • Practice Mode: Perfect your tune! Breakdown any part of any song at your preferred speed before hitting the main stage.
  • Quickplay Mode: Instant fix of fun! Jump into any unlocked song for some quick jam time either on your own or with other players.
  • Solo Tour Mode: Take it on the road! Pack up your instrument of choice and set out on the open road for a fun and challenging single player career.
  • Band World Tour Mode: Conquer the world! The journey to rock stardom takes you from small town bars to world-renowned venues. Earn fame and fortune along the way to secure rock star necessities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, 25 Jun 2008
By Mr. A. Wilson (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Like many others I was incensed with the price for Rock Band, but still intended to buy it as I am a massive fan of the Guitar Hero games.

I'm glad I took the plunge, because the whole experience is incredible. The track listing is infinitely superior to that of Guitar Hero, and playing with your mates is amazing!

Another great part about this is the amount of money that I've actually SAVED by having some mates over on a friday night and staying in playing this all night with a few beers, rather than going out and spending ridiculous amounts in London. 5 stars

1.0 out of 5 stars Too little too late., 8 April 2008
By Mr. Mark N. Cope "Game Cynic" (Staffordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
Having waited for over 6 months for this game to be released, I read today that EA have finally announced the prices. What would cost the americans less than £90 over six months ago will now be costing us £180. I can accept that we get fleeced a little on most games, but over double the price? You've got to be kidding me!

Vote with your wallets, avoid this game.

1.0 out of 5 stars An average consumer says:, 15 April 2008
By Alex Day (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
I'm not usually fussy about paying more than the US do. We're a rich country, I get that.

But in America, this cost 170 bucks.

Here, it's costing 180 POUNDS.

Changing the dollar sign to a pound sign is not what an exchange rate means.
