Quick review

The good
So much fun as a full band, tonnes of classic tracks
The bad
Poorly produced instruments, difficulty spikes remain
Verdict
If it wasn’t for the dodgy instruments and few difficulty spikes, this would claim top spot

  • LOL!
    Dont know why i even bother reading reviews on this site...
    "The instruments might not feel as top quality as their Rock Band counterparts"
    WHAT?!

  • Thanks for the comment James. The simple fact here is that the Rock Band instruments that I've been utliising since the American launch are still going strong, while the GH: World Tour batch have given me no end of problems. The whammy bar is now completely obliterated, and the bass pedal still flatly refuses to admit that I've given it a nudge a healthy portion of the time.

    The game itself is great fun - though the track listing for Rock Band 2 (review coming soon) does look a lot more desirable - but the instruments just don't seem as solid.
