Playing the guitar is cool, but what about playing the guitar, drums, and even singing.  You can do all of this stuff in the new game Rock Band.  You get to make your own band and play with your friends not only at your house but online too.  You can choose from three insturements.  Overall the build quality is great for the price. The drum pads themselves seem like they'll withstand a lot of pounding and as I tend to play the drums pretty ferociously, that was a big concern for me when I first sat down on my throne and took control of the beat for the band. As sturdy as the drumpad feels, we do have some concerns about the kick pedal. During my play time, I had a pre-production foot pedal snap in half during a particularly driving session of Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive on expert. Admittedly, the song does feature a lot of bass drum, but the problem seems to be more of an engineering design flaw than anything else. The kick pedal is surprisingly thin around the main pressure point in the middle where the spring meets the underside surface of the pedal itself. While there are criss-crossing lines of plastic cross-hatching the bottom of the pedal, it appears that the area around the pressure point is the least enforced, and thus our pedal snapped in half right where the spring meets the pedal.
This game was created by the origonal creators of Guitar hero, yes microsoft so we can all expect another great games.  The songs are amazing and it is just what you can expect from another game that lets you take the role of a rock star.  The only downside to this game is that you can't create your own songs and that is what all of these kind of games need.  Overall this is a great game but is almost 200 dollars so you have to like music and a challenge for this game to be fun.
