Well... there goes the point of getting it for Wii. Nevermind.

Want this so bad. Been kind of looking at the mods to create your own content, we want to be able to do a full drum/guitar/bass/vocals song creation, my roommate's really good with that kind of thing and we'd have a lot of fun with it. I see Guitar Hero IV will have in-game support for it sans vocals, but we just like Harmonix better so we'd prefer to stick with Rock Band if at all possible.

It's awesome with friends, but some song choices are lame (Celebrity Skin, ew...), the wrong song (Learn to Fly? In Bloom? Clearly these songs, while good, could've been better choices from the artists), and missing (WTH is Stairway!?!?!?!?) But it's barrels of fun.

I like teh Reptilia. <3

Had it during spring semester, got it with friends, and one of them paid us back and took it home. We had the whole set, and green grass and high tides would kill on when the guitar part got to the second solo. (Hardest song on guitar) In case you want to unlock all the songs, the code is
RYBRRBBRYB on the press start screen. (Disables high score saving though)

My roommate had it this last semester. Green Grass and High Tides is the best song in any of the interactive guitar playing games. Took 3 or 4 tries, but I got it.

Meh. A friend of mine has had it since January or February, and we're pretty sick of the game. Most of the song selection is boring. I can understand the difficulty in finding songs that are good for every instrument, but the majority of them are boring on everything. The lag calibration is also terrible for those of you with HDTV's (though I have a friend who said he had to calibrate it for his regular old CRT, so I don't know what's up with that). We've never gotten it perfect, and it took a dozen tries doing it every possible way to even get it reasonably close. Guitar Hero 2 had the perfect lag calibration so I'm not sure how Harmonix screwed it up this time. And the last thing that bothers me is the drum kit. Part of it is that I am a drummer so things like the feel of the pads and pedal sit poorly with me, but it's also just poor quality. Whenever we play we get a lot more mistriggered notes than we should, and that pedal will break eventually. There's a lot of stress on one area that has no reinforcing to speak of. The worst part is they new about it before it was released but didn't do anything.

Now it's not all bad; the songs that are good are really, really good. The guitar feels great, singing works very well, and the changes to star power make it a lot more useful. I've also played some of the DLC and the songs I played are better than even a lot of the best songs in the game. I just have trouble getting past some of the crappy things this game has going for it, especially when they can ruin the experience for me sometimes.

The Downloadable content also includes patches and the like for the game, the lag calibration may have been fixed (I think I remember hearing something about that). And of course, new songs.
