ROCK BAND!!!



One of today's latest graves is the hit video game Rock Band. For those of you who don't know what Rock Band is, it is a video game that can be played on many different gaming systems. Rock Band is available on PlayStation2, PlayStation 3, XBox 360, Wii, and even now on PSP. The game comes with many different "instruments" used to play the game. It comes with a very unique drum set that has four pads and a bass pedal. Each pad represents a different part of the drum set, from your snare drum to the cymbal. Also, there is a guitar that uses a strumming device that you have to strum as you are hitting a note. Also as you are strumming, you have to hold down or hit the corresponding button or buttons in order to play the correct note. You can have two guitars going at the same time. One guitar will be playing the actual guitar part of the song while the other plays the bass guitar part. Lastly, there is a microphone. I don't have to really explain how that works except that the words roll across the screen and you sing the song with the right pitch. I actually don't know why I am explaining this to you because most people, even if you haven't ever played Rock Band, know enough as to how it works. Rock Band is a lot of fun, whether you are playing it by yourself or with a bunch of your friends! I recommend creating a band with some friends and take turns playing different instruments! It makes the whole Rock Band experience a whole lot better. Although, personally I am not a huge video gamer, this is one game that I enjoy playing for hours! So when you get your friends together on a Friday night, play Rock Band, order some pizza, lots of soda, and have fun! It is not your typical video game and I don't know how you wouldn't be able to have fun playing it. And don't be shy, get into it! Don't just sit there on the sofa and play the guitar! Stand up, jump around, and act like you're actually on stage performing! It really does make it more entertaining, even if you are making a fool of yourself! Once you have mastered every different skill level of Rock Band, now there is Rock Band 2 that you can enjoy playing. It's the same great game but with many more fun, entertaining songs! So go ROCK OUT!!!!

I one hundred percent agree. Rock Band is one of the most entertaining games ever made. My friends and I have a rock band and play relatively often. I am usually the singer in the group. The game is extremely fun. People that do not like video games can have tons of fun playing. It is so unlike any other game out there (except guitar hero). Even if you do not like any songs on the game you can go onto the internet and download some you do like. We currently are planning on buying Rock Band 2 and starting a new band.
