Lego Rock Band (Wii) 4.4 5 23 24
Pleasant Surprise I, too, did not have the instruments ready to play this game, but found another store that sells used ones and got 2 guitars and a microphone and then it was on!!! I was unprepared for how much my family LOVES this game. The kids love it because we parents join in!!! I have not played the other guitar hero/band games, but I understand that the other games are a little harder to play. This one is perfect for a mom and dad who want to join in with their younger ones and sing and play and have a good time!!! LOVE the super-easy setting for our 5-year-old! OK, for me, too, when I don't want to concentrate too much!!! This is just FUN, FUN, FUN. If you are considering this game, like I was, go for it! It is worth the additional cost of the accessories!!!!! 01/09/2010
Game cover didn't list required parts This game was on the kids (10 & 8 yrs.old) lists for Christmas. I read the back, but did not see the tiny print with the required drums, microphone and guitar. They opened it, now we are stuck with a game and no way to play it without investing significantly more money. Would not have purchased it if the requirements were clearly listed. 12/28/2009
LEGO ROCK BAND: Bricklaods of Fun I'm 49 and my son is 8, but we've found quite a few songs to play and enjoy together on LEGO ROCK BAND (Wii). There are a few 70s and 80s classics, but most are newer. It's not hard to figure out why some of these songs are on here; they stick in your brain, like most hits. Pop, rock, punk, alternative, metal, and more are represented. Of the songs you don't already know, many will appeal to you. Story Mode seems a little rambling and repetitious, but it's one way to practice and get better. There's always the mode for playing whatever song you want, and you can slow these songs down as much as 50% in Practice Mode -- and a few of the songs in Expert Mode require it! Just because it's Lego doesn't mean the harder songs and expertise levels have been simplified or dumbed down. My only quibble with Lego Rock Band (aside from the $50 price -- I got it on sale, so thanks, Walmart!) is that it sometimes takes long to load a song. But overall, this has been fun for many weeks, and a good alternative when other Rock Band games threaten to get overly familiar. 02/23/2010
SO much fun! We can't stop playing! We already had Rock Band 2, but there are limited songs that are aimed for a 6-yr-old. I don't have to worry about inappropriate lyrics or album covers on Lego, and she can choose a level she can actually play on without being booed by the crowd. We play as a family for HOURS at a time! 01/03/2010
