4 out of 5 stars Fun 4 the Whole Familly   January 8, 2009
My family and I are really enjoying Wii Rock Band that my daughter received for Christmas. The only thing that I would have liked better is for a wider selection of songs. Other than that, we've been having a blast. br /br /The drums are cumbersone to store away when we're not using it but the fun we've had has been worth it.


2 out of 5 stars great game, not very sturdy   January 7, 2009
The game is a great game, my kids had so much fun on it the first two days and then the drum quit working. They are older so its not like they misused it.


4 out of 5 stars Great Family fun   January 7, 2009
This has been a lot of fun for our whole family My teenager even wants to hang out with us. My only complaint would be the writing could be a bit bigger for the lyrics.
