Great  addition to Band Hero

This guitar is identical to the one that comes with Band Hero set, needed to purchase an extra guitar so my kids won't fight! Having two guitars allows one to play lead guitar while another one plays bass. Couldn't pass it up at the pre-Christmas price of $50, personally, I would wait until the current prices listed go down, hopefully after the holidays??? It is a welcome addition to anyone with GH or BH.

Pretty much a continuation of the other Guitar Hero games with the added instruments.  The additional content on the Wii version make the game more fun to play.  Haven't purchased the drums or mic yet.  Overall the guitar experience is better than the older games on the PS2 (the strum bar and button placement is better and the new touch pad on the neck makes it more interesting).  Being able to download additional songs is another cool feature.

I got this so I could play Metallica. Everything works great and the guitar looks awesome (my friends are jealous when they pull out there older guitar). I was expecting the guitar to be like my friends but it has so much more. It has a button right by the palm of your hand so you can hit it for your Star Power and a slider on the neck so you can do more than just use the Whammy. I have tried the drums and do not care that much for them; only because I'm not coordinated enough for it. I probably would just purchase the guitar if I could do it all over again. Actually I would have just purchased two guitars because my friends like the guitar more than the drums as well. The drums are still awesome if you are thinking about purchasing (to each their own). ENJOY!

Bought drums for Rock Band Beatles game which I had just purchased.  I already had 2 GH guitars which worked perfectly with our new game.  Fortunately, my newphew brought over the drum set before my purchase so I could try them out.  He suggested I purchase the RB2 drums over the original RB drums because the improvement of the foot pedal (metal over plastic) and the drums set played quieter. Plus the outer 2 drums pads had more give to them when playing.  Great purchase from Amazon to include free shipping!

Just like Rock Band 1 - 3, it plays a little better though.  It's a great party game.  I just wish we could purchase individual instruments with out having to get the whole band kit.  My drums are great, but my old Rock Band 3 guitars are not working so well anymore.  Over all its a fun upgrade to Rock Band 3, the adapter works like a champ, but you will need to re-calibrate.

Lastly most of the music purchased for Rock Band 2 and 3 can be re-downloaded for this one!

This is a great addition to the series.  It fills in some of the background characters extremely well.  It really adds to the complexity of the realm our heroes inhabit.

I bought this game for the sole purpose of exporting it onto Rockband 3. And for that it's been a great addition! You get a very solid lineup of Green Day songs for a great price! If you're a Green Day fan, don't think twice about buying this.

We bought this after playing Beatles Rock Band at a friends house so we could have the drum kit.
Most places you could not even buy the drum kit for the price of this whole package.
Now the whole family can play at once.

We love the addition of the drum set, we have a better appreciation of the level of coordination a good drummer actually has, and we realize this is a game so it is not even close to what a real drummer must do.

This collection has an excellent selection of music, your kids will love it and there is plenty of music for those of us who are "older".

Definitely buy the Beatles disc to augment this if you enjoy their music at all, the kids really like the sound of their music.

What can I say? I am blown away by Rockband. People often use the phrase "fun as heck", well my best friend and I agree this game is FUNNER than heck. My best friend, his brother, and I played this and 7 hours just went by. But anyway, about the wireless guitar. It's different from the guitar hero guitars in a few ways. 1. It's a Fender and not a Gibson. 2. It has buttons on the lower neck near the guitar body which you can use to fingertap your way through solos without strumming. 3. It has an effects lever that can change what kind of effect you want in game. 4. The lever used for strumming doesn't click like guitar hero controller, which takes some getting used to. But once you've adjusted completely and said goodbye to the old, trust me you'll love the new. The title of my review was somewhat misleading. I said Rockband is the next generation of guitar hero. Guitar Hero doesn't have anything on Rockband. Rockband is its own generation. 4 people can play: Singer, Guitar, Bass, Drums (my personal favorite). This brings co op to a whole new level. Invite your friends and start a rockband!

This is a great song from a great band. A new more progressive song from Coldplay and I really like it. A must for fans

Only had this for a couple days and have already played it through 3-4 times. This was recommended as a result of liking similar bands such as TesseracT and The Contortionist. While this group doesn't seem to utilise any synth parts (at least not on this album, rumor is there might be on the forthcoming release,) it's definitely not lacking in any way. The compositions as-is are well written and arranged and I think is very accessible by fans who typically wouldn't listen to prog. I'm also a long-time fan of Drum and Bass dance music, so it's really exciting when I hear bands that incorporate some of those elements into their tunes (like the intro to "Evolution".) Definitely looking forward to their next album, I'm sure it won't disappoint.

This is a great upgrade from JD 2016 and it packs in quite a few new songs. I appreciate the trial offering of the cloud-based version of the Just Dance music library. This version seems to provide the ability to replace all previous versions, as the "unlimited" feature allows access to all previous songs.  After the trail there is a purchase option for the subscription to the unlimited service, and based on what I have experienced with it so far, I am likely to purchase it.

I personally rarely play the game, but my children who are 8 and 6 absolutely love the game. It provides a great outlet for exercise while also having fun. The controls on the Nintendo Switch are intuitive and user friendly, and they seem much more responsive than the Wii U. This is likely a hardware improvement versus software.

The one gripe I have is that you cannot play with both a Joy-Con controller *and* a mobile phone. You can either play with all mobile phone controllers *or* all Joy-Con controllers. I would love the ability to use both my phone and the Joy Cons when there are not enough Joy Cons to go around.

Worth the purchase, even at the retail price. This is one product I can understand the retail price being what it is for a couple of reasons: The included trial of Just Dance Unlimited, and the licensing requirements for the original songs included in the game.

I bought this game for my nephew at Christmas, at a local store and i paid $175 for the bundle for PS2. I just purchased Band Hero on Amazon for $150, great price for a great game that will keep you entertained for hours. Its fun for any age and also for anyone. This game can be played by all people it is that easy.

My husband is the one into video games but after he got his Guitar Hero/ Rock Band setup, I immediately purchased this game. I love the Beatles and I love this game! Very happy with this!

Love this song. First heard it on Big Hero 6, and I now own most of the song of this album.

I really enjoy the new keyboard controller for Rock Band 3. It feels like you're playing an actual keyboard to your favorite songs. It's a great product for anyone that wants to add more to the game and gives more of a challenge to learn a new instrument. The only downside I've had with using a keyboard is the lack of songs in the main set list that support keys/pro keys, so if you can afford to buy more songs in the Rock Band music store, you should definitely try out the keyboard!

My other Rock Band guitars from the original game have stopped working due to extensive use, so I was able to pick up a new controller from a seller on Craigslist.com. Unfortunately, I forgot about and did not realize I was getting a Pro controller, which only works with the Rock Band 3 game. After ordering and receiving this game, I was able to test out the guitar, which, to my surprise, works great! However, attempting to play on pro mode is pretty tough for someone who has little to no guitar experience. I can't speak for the game play and music tracks yet, but it is a powerful and good teacher for how to use the Pro guitar controller. I've loved the previous Rock Band games, and have no doubt that this one will follow in their footsteps.
