We bought this game for our daughter's 13th birthday. She had a party that night with 7 friends. Our house was very loud that night with 8 kids having a lot of fun with this game.

Get a group of friends together and get ready to be up all night, baby! Because once you start playing Rock Band you'll never want to stop. It's freaking addicting and fun. Only problem I have is it won't play on my slim PS2. Other than that a very good game. Just needs a better selection of songs.

The product information is not completely correct. It is stated that one can 'create own band/players' with this game...this cannot be done. We are searched many web sites & spoken with many other players, & no one has found any way to do this, which is what our son was looking forward to doing. He played it 5 times & sold it. Other than that, as long as one has a LOT of patience, this is quite fun.
