Me of all people....RockBand

[lendaddy]

My wife and kids were away for the weekend and I invited some old buddies over for a chicken cookout(Daddies special recipe) and cards. Anyway, one of the guys brought RockBand with all the goodies and I have to say we had a ball. I think the drums are especially cool and the vocals are neat too. The guitars are stupid in my opinion as it just doesn't feel real at all but everyone else liked them the most.

I tried it with the family tonight and my wife liked it and so did my four year old (he did pretty good on the drums).

Anyway, I would actually consider getting it for the family but only if a LOT more songs are available than what I saw (maybe 40-60). What's the story there.

I'm told it can be a pretty good tool for actually learning drums, no?

We just picked up rock band as well. It is very fun for the whole family. One of my 3 year olds loves to sing . I think everyone likes the guitar because it is easy. The drums are the hardest. I think there are ways to get more songs too.

I found the game surprisingly fun as well. If you are playing it on xBox, you can purchase a lot more tracks on xBox live.

I just found the list of songs on wikipedia, not very many really. Then I found the list for Rockband2 coming out this fall and they look much better to me. I think I'll wait.

Lots of downloadable songs if you have an Xbox.
