    IGN gave it 9.4/10


    Seems to be better than GH3.

    Looks a bit gimmicky to me.

      We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

        It's fine for a gimmick to exist, just not in the scope of every single game on a platform...

          I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

            $179 for a gimmick, vs $249 for a gimmick that also lets you play other gimmicks.

              You do not understand. The Wiimote itself is the gimmick, so that is inherent to virtually every game on the $249 platform.

              So you've got a $179 gimmick vs a $249 gimmick. The difference is, you probably won't see Halo 4 being controlled with the guitar from Rock Band.

              (Disclaimer: Yes, I know Boom Boom Rocket on the 360 supports the guitar as a controller, in addition to the DDR pad)

                My point - you spend $179, and play Rock band till you tire of the gimmick.

                You spend $249 on Wii, and you play Wii sports till you tire of the gimmick (of playing Wii sports with the remote).

                Now you can still go out and buy other games, some gimmicky in themselves, some not so gimmicky except for relying the wiimote, and play them.

                  Please don't insult us with this stupidity. I don't even know where to begin.

                  To illustrate how stupid this discussion is, please summarize your argument in one sentence. Even you, I suspect, will end up saying "WTF?"

                  FWIW, it's $169 at Best Buy for the game + all instruments. $59 if you just want the game. Can also buy the instruments individually as well. The instruments can then be used in sequels to the game, or in other music/rhythm games. For example, I can use my GH2 controller in Rock Band or GH3.

                    I don't think this game will sell very well.

                      I didnt happen to know the controllers were interchangeable with GH.
                      No need to get insulting about it.

                        It's a recurring theme that you don't do your homework when making claims.

                          Is the comparison to the Wii really any different if Rock Band is $169 or $179? (heres where an insult would go, if I were as quick to use insulting language as you are)

                          BTW, is it really necessary for me to comb through your posts for every mistake of fact? That seems a silly use of time, in my opinion.

                            I'm not saying the price was the issue. The fact that you don't know that you don't need to buy all of the controllers (or any of them), or that you could reuse them. This is rather central to your argument that the Wii lets you play other games while these controllers did not.

                            Thus, you should do your HW. It's the little things like this that get a bit frustrating. You clearly know next to nothing about the industry, but you continually talk about it like you do. The fact that 99% of your arguments are mind-numblingly trivial or ridiculous, like this one, adds to the frustration.

                              whats ridiculous is that you take a throw away one liner as an argument, and get all OCD about it.

                              Calm down. These are only games. This is only a low traffic forum, on a site thats dedicated to ANOTHER game, thats not discussed (usually) in this forum. OK? This forum is, usually, a calm place for idly chatting about games. Its not some intense hardware site, its not neoGaf, its not quartertothree.


                              Why do people have to come in here and be insulting, and take every little comment and turn it into a bitter fight?
