2.0 out of 5 stars Problems (+ more problems), 24 May 2008
By Marko (Southampton, UK) - See all my reviews
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I recieved my copy yesterday, got some mates round, set it all up and started playing. Straight away I noticed the yellow drum pad would only register if I gave it a big whack compared to a light tap for the other three pads. Second, the micrphone wouldn't work. The Xbox wouldn't even recognize it's existence. The only thing I thought worked, despite it feeling like the least sturdy of all the instruments, was the guitar but after both myself and other mates complained that way too many notes were being missed despite what we thought were well timed strums, i'm led to assume that's faulty too. Thankfully the Guitar Hero guitar works with this game, which luckily we had 2 of, and by using these we stopped missing the notes, cementing my opinion that the Rock Band guitar is rubbish.

What we were able to play of the game didn't impress myself or my mates, all of whom are Guitar Hero veterans. We felt that the individual parts are not as challenging as compared to Guitar Hero. Bass was positively easy at times regardless of difficulty level, guitars were atleast a level or two below the guitar hero equivalent (hard was like GH's medium) and the drums, whilst a new experience to start with, we all found ourselves very quickly working our way up the difficulty scale.

The game's saving grace is the feeling of fun and co-operation it gives you and the number of well known quality songs. It's certainly a game to play when you have the mates around and have had a few beers, especially if you're all rock/punk fans. On your own it's definitely less fun.

I'm being sent replacement instruments but i'm not holding my breath as, with a fairly high failure rate being reported in America, i'm fully expecting the next batch to have problems. If it is faulty i'll get a refund on Band in a Box and simply play with the Guitar Hero guitars and play the games as 'guitar hero with different songs'.

EDIT:- I've just received my replacement set of instruments and the guitar worked for 15 mins, then something went 'twang' inside (whilst not actually playing it I might add!) and now it no longer goes ito 'overdrive' when you tilt it up and the direction pad, start and back buttons now no longer work. I could just be very unlucky but consideing how much it costs, I expect better. This is being returned and I'm not getting a new one. I own a real guitar, the money can be put to better use saving for an real electronic drum kit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and Over Here.., 22 May 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is double the price of the USA version and does not include the game.

Wait a couple of months till Guitar Hero 4 is on the way and watch the price come down.

Electronic Arts are a joke thinking they can rip off people outside the USA

1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculously overpriced, 15 April 2008
By L. Mildenhall-Ward (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This set does not include the game, but the US version does. Why do we have to pay an extra £50 for the game disc, it's despicable. Sorry EA, you need to fix this.
