My son loves this game. It's fun

Brought this for sons xmas present! Great fun! Connects up quick and easy to use. Had the whole family joining in

My sons and I have been having a lot of fun with this! Arrived on time, as described and very well packaged so as to protect everything. The drums are proving a little harder to master than we expected so I've ended up as the drummer, with one son singing and the other on guitar. Great family fun!

With superb gameplay enhancements like freestyle soloing, and support not only for existing instruments but thousands of legacy DLC tracks, this is the new benchmark for rhythm action gaming.

Doesn't introduce anything new to the series; Unsatisfying freestyle solos

A welcome return for multiplayer music games, even if there's relatively little new to add to the experience – and a few things that have been taken out.

The most refined version of the idea so far, and much more accessible than Rock Band 3; Freestyle guitar solos and the other attempts to add dynamism work well; Good story mode
