Rock Band
A couple of days ago, instead of exchanging our Blockbuster movie for another movie, Cy picked up the game Rock Band 2 for the XBox 360. We had been wanting to try a karaoke game, or something that included singing. We've enjoyed Guitar Hero (all of them) a lot, so we thought Rock Band would be pretty fun.
It turns out though, that the whole point of Rock Band must be more of the collective Rock Band experience (with drums, guitar, and vocals), because using it for just singing wasn't that much fun. The songs were obviously geared more toward the instrumental parts. It's kind of hard to just straight up sing songs by the Beastie Boys, Lit, etc. Needless to say, it got old pretty fast. I mean, you can only sing "Eye of the Tiger" so many times, right?
We're thinking that maybe if we're interested in playing a singing game, something like American Idol Karaoke might be more up our alley. So we'll be trying that next. Long story short, we were not too impressed with Rock Band. We'll just stick to Guitar Hero - it has better songs & graphics.
