Rock Band is a rhythm game, where you can play as all the major instruments for real rock bands: Drums, Guitar, Bass and Vocals. For this review, I'm reviewing each instrument and the rest of the game. If you've ever played guitar hero, the guitar in rock band works the same way. You have five colored buttons on the neck of the guitar, and strum bar. When a note of the corresponding color reaches a part of the screen, hold the fret button and hit the strum bar. It's pretty much that same as guitar hero. The bass guitar is just like guitar in the game except for two things. First, bass is usually easier than real guitar and, unlike guitar where you can get a 4 times streak multiplier, you can get up to six times. That's it. Now onto vocals, it's pretty much like real singing. The words and pitch of the note shows up on screen and passes a line on the screen and you sing into a microphone and try to match the pitch of the note. Not much to say anymore about that. Now I'll talk about drums. This is probably one of the best parts of the game. You get four pads and pedal. When a note comes on screen, hit the corresponding pad to hit it and when an orange line comes, hit the pedal. I love this part because as a real drummer I love how much this emulates real drums. The technique and style of playing is almost identical as real drums. Now that I've reviewed all of the instruments, now it's time for the character customization. You make a character, give a name, chose hair, skin ETC. But you only get a black shirt and jeans. You make money by playing the game and use the money to buy new clothes from four sections in the store. The sections are Punk, Metal, Goth and Rock. In conclusion, while each instrument themselves aren't exactly that special, bringing them all together brings out something that makes one of the greatest multi-player games of all time
