Rock Band for wii is on some levels great and on others very disappointing. The game play itself is great, looks great, lots of fun, the ultimate party game. I know some people are really turned off by the inability to customize the characters, but to me this is really not a big deal. I'm also a big fan of the Guitar Hero franchise where you can customize, but honestly, I never see my "character" while playing, so why count that as a negative of gameplay? Its not, and really has no effect on the fun factor. The lack of online gaming is disappointing, but again, I wasn't that big on it anyway.
Now, the lack of downloadable content is very disappointed given the fact that it should be possible. Its understandable that the PS2 didn't have it, it doesn't have the built-in ability. The wii does, and its just plain developer laziness that no attempt was made to get it done. This is somewhat offset by the song pack concept, provide you can get most of the popular download songs. Its

It's Rock Band. It's fun. For those of you expecting the PS3 or Xbox 360 versions: why would you? If you own a Wii, and have seen the other platforms, don't expect the same level of graphics. Just a few bullet points:
- Just like the guitar controller is hard for guitarists, the drums are tricky for drummers for two reasons - most drummers don't read music on a kit and the pads are counter-intuitive from a typical kit. You get over it though.
- The lack of online play / ability to download games astounds me. Shame on you, developers.
- There's nothing really "Wii" about it. In other words, there's no motion capture components at all. Having wired drums and mic is really dumb for a platform that relies on being wireless.
- Despite the negativity, it's still entertaining as all-get-out.

Although I've been a heavy shopper of Amazon for years, I've written very few reviews - mostly due to laziness. But after playing with Rock Band for just over a week, and noticing a lot of the negative reviews, mostly due to comparisons to versions of the same game on other platforms, i felt i really ought to provide some of my feedback.
I don't own an XBOX or a PS3. I wish i did - but.. i'm too cheap, and my kids are still too young (3 and 7) for the type of games that are popular on those systems. I've settled for the Wii. Although we've been quite happy with Wii Sports, none of the other games have really kept our interest beyond a couple of days. (granted, i've only attempted to purchase games that would appeal to both my 7 year old and all the adults around - that's pretty hard to do)... until now. Rock Band has to be one of the best "team" oriented games I've played in a long time. Its a game that has kept friends of ours over very late trying to pass the various songs.
