November 19, 2007 - Excellent - Guitar Hero is still the way to go for lone wolves, but if you have the space, the manpower, and the means, Rock Band unquestionably, unequivocally rocks.
November 21, 2007 - Excellent - Is this game better than Guitar Hero III? This reviewer says, yes definitely. Then again, value-conscious shoppers and brand loyalists might stick with the $99 Guitar Hero III package.
November 20, 2007 - Excellent - Rock Band is easily one of the most ambitious music games ever produced, and that it is so successful in its ambition makes it something really special.

November 20, 2007 - Excellent - [Rock Band is] an experience like no other in videogames, and it's amazingly realized considering it's really the first time anyone's tried it.

November 19, 2007 - Excellent - This is the perfectly polished, logical extension of what Guitar Hero started and where the music genre needed to go. It just rocks.
November 19, 2007 - Excellent - For those who can foot the bill, Rock Band delivers a gaming experience that's simply like no other.
November 16, 2007 - Excellent - The presentation elements are top-notch and take music games to a new level; consider the bar raised. Without question, Rock Band is one of the must-have games of the year.
June 11, 2008 - Excellent - If you're unlikely to play with friends Rock Band is hard to recommend, with Guitar Hero being the more sensible option, but if you're planning plenty of get-togethers, Rock Band will provide more than enough enjoyment to warrant its price tag.
May 29, 2008 - Good - We do recommend Rock Band - it's outrageous, hilarious and memorable, and the best four-players-on-one-screen multiplayer game since GoldenEye - but you shouldn't buy it until you've thought long and hard about what else you could spend the money on.
January 14, 2008 - Good - Rock Band is a solid start for a promising new franchise, and one of the best multiplayer party games in recent memory.
