  Yet again a game that looks silly to play, players playing plastic toys to strum to the music, it actually is what its aimed for. Fun and family fun. the track lists are amazing and some little crackers in this title and some really strange and bizzare..."cool for cats?" why????
  
  Only gripe i have with the title is the KNOWN bug on the forums whereas your BAND will be wiped (you have to start all over) if the game is updated or later on after you win the airplane. So be warned now !!! SAVE your band on a memory stick as well as the hard disk one for back up
  
  AMAZING!

  More challenging than Rock Band "1", more forgiving than GH -- generally fun.

  Well, as a guitar player - not an especially good one, I'd add - I was looking for a little more challenge out of this game than the casual player, and found the opening levels a little too easy. Also, having a Guitar Hero Controller, I can't comment on the "solo" sections, which are designed to be played on the rock band guitar controller, except to say that I've either pulled them off or limped through mst of them on "hard", so the Rock band strat isn't necessarily a compulsory purchase if you already have GH.
  
  In general however, I'd say this game is better looking, more versatile and has better tunes than GH3 and having played both, and being more of a casual gamer, I find myself more inclined to play Rock Band than comparable GH titles. I don't personally own GH World Tour or Greatest Hits and I've yet to play Band Hero or GH5, but this is easily more fun and a far better multiplayer game than its rival contemporaries.
  
  God knows what the drumming's like.
