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
 Rock band rocks October 2, 2008

If you have ever tapped your fingers to a song you have to try rock band drums. They are as close to a real drum kit you can get without buying a real one. The songs at the beginning are easy enough for most people then gradually get harder and harder to challenge everyone.If you have a full band of four people you need quite a big tv to see your part clearly. I bought the Wii rock band but used to play guitar hero on play station 2. They are both well made but I like the graphics of the play station more. I would recommend rock band.
 Great fun, but could have been so much more December 3, 2008

Its got drums, a guitar, a mic, and just shy of 70 songs. Great fun to play. But!!! its been dumbed down way too much from the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. This was a money grabbing oppertunity for Harmonix before Rockband 2 comes out. Would recommend the PS3 or Xbox version much more than this one. If you dont have one. Wait until Rockband 2!

I received this box and the game for my birthday recently. It as out of the box two hours before the drums' kick pedal stopped responding. A replacement was provided by EA... only for that not to respond at all. A search online revealed this was a common problem with no solution at all. I will now be returning everything.
I can see there is a the promise of a really fun time in this game - so long as you can get over the bitter taste of paying the same price for a game with substantially fewer features and of lower visual quality than its Xbox360 and PS3 version. Hammering out drums solos, losing yourself in a rousing chorus, flailing wildly at the frets in a solo and sharing some mostly alright songs with friends. But the game won't let me.
I might get Guitar Hero 4 instead. Maybe that's not so horribly broken.

Rock Band for the Wii. Wow, what a disappointment. Harmonix were totally lazy...this is a crippled port of the Playstation 2 version:
Just a few things for those of you considering buying this:
It does not have online play
It does not have downloadable content
You cannot create your own customisable characters
The guitar for Guitar Hero III does NOT work with this game - If you wanna play base, tough, buy another guitar....
The only extra you get are 5 extra songs. Way to go harmonix...
Wii gamers have waited *months* for Rock Band to appear, and this is how they treat us. Personally, I'm waiting for Guitar Hero: World Tour - it has all of the above that Rock Band does not have, plus the ability to create and play your own songs!
For the things this game lacks and which are available on the other gaming platforms, 99 is way overpriced; I think 40 would be more reasonable price
