I am not sure how I ended up being a writer, it sure wasn't something I ever dreamed of being when I was a kid. I lay in bed at night pretending I was Eddie Van Halen and while I mastered his movements with my trusty tennis racket, I never really got the chops down.

The legendary Guitar Hero, now in its third iteration, was the game to change all this, we could all prance around our bedrooms in our underwear while hammering out tasty licks to many a classic rock song. Rock Band takes this a stage further with the aspirations of allowing you to play with your buddies. Guitar, Bass, Drums and even vocals are the name of the game and with developer Harmonix already having plenty of experience with Guitar Hero they should on paper deliver an awesome multiplayer gaming experience.

I have this game! I love it and it's very well worth it!

When the game first game out they had many problems with the stuff not working and breaking, but seemed to fix it now!

My cousin had the guitar not work out of the box, the foot pedal for the drums broke, now the yellow drum broke just from normal use.

I got the game around the second batch and they must have fixed everything since mine works way better!

At least the good thing is if you break the stuff you can RMA it back to EA!
