How good or how much fun is Rock Band/Guitar Hero and all that?

[Sadken]

So where are you getting Rock Band for £60 please?

As I have been kinda thinking about it too.

play.com, mate. I saw the deal on hotukdeals.com - fucking great site.

 

[Gromit]

Cheers. Though the deal is no good for me. PS3 version.

The xBox version on there is £99

Ooh look there is an AC DC expansion pack.

Rock band is fucking ace. It is absolutely hilarious. Except when you're trying to play on ketamine. then it's just a bit sad and noisy.

 

[scifisam]

Anyone tried Wii Music? Any good?

 

[Sadken]

This game is absolutely brilliant! Does anyone know how to play a multiplayer game when you don't have four instruments though? We have a guitar, drums and mic but it won't let us play together without another guitar. Or so it would seem...

your some weird and shit spelling of gay now. Its official. Southpark even agrees.

You're doing something wrong, don't know what. Multiplayer works with any combination of instruments.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I think it is possibly one of the most boring things I have ever done.

 

[bluestreak]

Even if everyone is drunk? Aren't they meant to be brilliant for having people round after the pub and what have you?

yeah, i really love rock band. provides hours of fun and drunken hilarity.

 

[keithy]

they're rayt good and that... but turn me into an obsessive monster

but all games generally do that so yeh.

We found Rock Band drums were shitty on 360.Guitar hero drums on Wii are the dogs tho.And the Wii guitar is much better too.

It lets the people with the controls choose and then seems to wait around indefinitely for other controllers to join in. Any ideas what particularly weak trap I have fallen into?

 

[Sadken]

Sorted it. I think the problem may have been that I am a stupid twunt.

Shame that the Wii sucks then, really.

I am in need of a fun injection and am contemplating ordering these games for more money than I actually have. Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question.

Do you think we will ever achieve equality of races/sexes/species? If so, why and how? But, mainly, are those games any good?

It's much better fun than you might think.

Rock Band on the Wii is really tricky, but really satisfying when you get it right, and the songs aren't bad either.

Do it, it's like glorified karaoke, but without the inevitable scrawny chavs screeching Whitney Houston at full volume after a few WKDs. Win.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Speaking of karaoke, SingStar/Lips are fucking great

I would think the game would be very frustrating if drunk since you will almost certainly fail.

But they are really very boring and the set list is shit.

I think there great for a week or so on your own unfortunately. They really come alive when your playing in a group, playable on your own but nowhere near as fun.

I got rock band when it first came out and it was fun, but after you've done the solo tours on a couple of difficulties, there isn't much else to do on your own IMO.

 

[souljacker]

Guitar Hero is fucking awesome.

My whole family fucking loved it this christmas. Pity the default songs are so shit. I've had to play for ages to get the decent tunes and they're not much cop anywy. GH3 had a much better set list.

 

[Cloud]

Bass and lead is ace and maybe the vocals but the drums are pap to play snd the noise from the pads puts off your timing.

we just cant find enough idiots to sing or play drums, I did nirvana while very drunk .

You can play the kit on it's own which is what i wish they would let you do in the songs cos the marking is all weird to someone who can play drums. The odd thumping really puts me off my janes addiction bass riff.
