GamePlay 2
Coming back to the game, my throat is a little sore so I pick up the bass (remember I’m not so hot with the guitar riffs). This is my kind of instrument, simply yet carrying. The bass allowed me to play along on expert mode with the other guys (minus the singer who was not as good as I was) but as I was playing one of the instruments I was no longer paying as much attention to the rest of the guys or the game. I found myself so much more focused on just myself as opposed to when I was singing and could interact more so with who ever I felt like. Also, the song list isn’t quite as deep as I would like. The good songs are really good, but from there it’s a pretty big drop-off to lesser heard, older (before my time) songs whose lyrics and riffs are not as familiar to my friends and I.
Design
Rock Band is a very interactive game, more so on the person to machine level than the person controlling a character. Each Rock Show is a different level where you need to gain a bigger and bigger fan base. The graphics are pretty lame, but it’s cool that you can create your own character. Each show is put on in a different venue, for example: London, LA, Rome… so pretty much all over the world, each spot with its own landmarks and structures, so in that respect there are some okay backgrounds. My biggest problem with the game is that it hurts my eyes because I am pretty sure that I don’t blink the whole the song. But again, the characters are all pretty cheesy. It’s kind of like a super old school WWF game where you can create your own wrestler, but then you can perform songs with them.

GamePlay
First of all, I played with 4 other players. Two of which I know had a musical background, and all of which had prior Guitar Hero experience (myself a past musician as well, but not so good at GH). We had a great time playing, and it wasn’t long before we could complete several of the songs on Expert. I really enjoy the microphone aspect of the game because it brings about much more involvement than just hitting a few buttons. Matching the pitch of the singers’ voice in the song as well as staying on track with the beat was pretty interesting especially when the drummer loses the beat and has to be saved. I was mostly surprised in my ability to sing along with the songs even though I had to adjust my pitch an octave lower, not to mention learn the lyrics to many of the songs that I hear on the radio on a regular basis.
