[Multiplatform] Rock Band: Soon to be available for thirty billion Euros

I'm looking forward to this game obviously since I'm a huge guitar hero fan.

From what I've heard, only "2" versions of the game are coming out Tuesday. The Special Edition with all the instruments, and the regular version with just the game. But the thing is you won't be able to buy instruments separate until later. (possibly until February like what it seems like for GH3 Wireless Les Paul). It shouldn't be too much of a headache. I feel bad that those geeky game store clerks now have to lift a 30lb box every time they sell a bundle =p

I'm a little concerned about what I've been reading, that it isn't as hard as guitar hero 3. I assume it's mainly due to the song choices and not that they're intentionally making it easier for guitar fanatics.

But at the same time, I might enjoy it more because it's more casual. The one thing that threw me for a loop about GH3 was its insane difficulty. My hands hurt more than any song GH2 threw at me and I wasn't even finished with the last tier. It might be nice to just kick back with some friends and rock out

Jam it back in, in the dark.

those comparison videos are concerning because it seems like you're hitting less notes on Rock Band (Reptilla is the best example) when you should be hitting "all" of them. One of the reasons I'm so good at expert and pretty crappy on lower levels is because I don't know what notes they want me to hit when I'm so used to hitting what I'm hearing.

But like I said, it should still be enjoyable.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I picked up the Rock Band bundle and I'm enjoying it

The Solo Career (Guitar) is definitely easier than GH3. But it's not really due to them slacking on the notes, it's because the setlist is full of easy guitar songs (for the most part :P) I felt like I was playing every note and it didn't feel like it was handing me the game. I 5-starred every song in the game except Run to the Hills (which i still can't 5-star those triplets kill the combo every single time). I failed Green Grass and High Tides with the new guitar, but passed it with no real issues with the x-plorer. I 5-starred most of the bonus songs and DLC except for Ride the Lightning which was a very close 5-star.

I like the way the new guitar feels, and I love the solo buttons. My only complaint is the strum bar which doesn't make any noise and doesn't really move much when you strum it. It gives it an authentic feeling of actually playing (and I can downstrum faster) but when I have a stream of fast notes coming at me, I can't hit them worth shit because I can't hear the clicks. I like the controller overall.

I started playing drums on hard and failed pretty miserably. I dropped down to medium and am trying to get my hands and feet to do the right thing. It's working out pretty well and I've 5-starred most of the early songs on medium.

I also tried out the singing because I like to use everything that comes with a game =p I haven't sang since 5th grade chorus :P It's the one thing I'm shy about myself. I put it on easy and aced the song I played. I moved up to medium and the few songs I played I managed a good 96-99% accuracy. I didn't try hard because after a few songs my throat started to hurt. I'll have to try it again later. I have a stupid voice, but I can sing pitches pretty accurately. I knew I could, but it's just something that I'm very shy about doing.

I'm playing the World Tour with my girlfriend (she plays bass guitar on easy) and we're having a blast I know its gonna be the most fun ever when we bring it to our friend's house and we have 4 people playing at the same time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
