The Wii Rockband Game For Nintendo - What Do I Get For My Money?

By Anya Weigel

The Wii Rockband game for Nintendo give players the ability to perform in their very own virtual band. This game allows up to 4 players. This game works with up to three peripherals which are modeled after musical instruments (bass guitar, lead guitar and drums). There is also a microphone for a vocalist.

Rock band for Nintendo Wii was released on June 22, 2008. In this game, the players simulate the playing of rock n roll music by hitting the notes that scroll across the screen. Rock Band expands upon the Guitar Hero series, in that it offers game play for vocals and drums, in addition to bass guitar and lead guitars. As of October 9th 2008, this game had already generated 600 million in sales. As of early December 2008, it is one of the top Nintendo Wii Video Games being sold for Christmas 2008.

When you use Rockband's microphone, the singer is judged on how closely he or she can match the pitch of the song's vocalist. The drum set includes drum pads made of rubber as well as a kick pedal. The drum pads have rings that are colored to correspond to the notes shown on the screen. The game also includes guitar controllers that were modeled after a Fender Stratocaster guitar.

One great thing about Rockband is that it truly is a game that everyone can play together. All players can choose their own individual level of difficulty. One player can play the lead guitar on difficult mode, while another sings on medium mode and a third plays the drums on easy mode. If one of the players is experiencing difficulty, and is failing, the other members have the ability to "bring them back". This really makes it fun for everyone playing the game.

When you are getting ready to purchase Rockband, you have to be careful and make sure you know what you are getting. Each of the peripherals are sold in bundles or by themselves.

Rockband includes songs by bands like Kiss, Molly Hatchet, The Rolling stones, Aerosmith as well as many more. If you want more games, you can always download them later.

If you love rock n roll and video games, then the Wii Rockband game might be for you. It is definitely a game the whole family can enjoy.
