    Honestly…

    The setlist is incredibly weak, and 40 weak songs is definitely not worth my $50. The only redeeming factor is having a Jimi Hendrix song, which they cleverly included to get people to buy it. Smooth, Harmonix. The plus side is, you can transfer these songs to Rock Band 2 … for an additional $10. What a joke.

    The visuals are pitiful. Legos are awesome and all, but they don’t make good Rock Stars, at least not here.

    The game play is… big surprise: exactly the same. It’s Rock Band 2 with a new skin. No new features, no online play, no nothing.

    Please… just pass this us. Spend your $60 ($50 + $10 to transfer) on some good DLC songs, it’ll be money well spent. Or you can get Beatles: Rock Band or Guitar Hero 5, those are both excellent games as well. But please, don’t bother with this.

    The “FREE Super Saver Shipping” deal that Amazon offers is complete garbage and it has convinced me to shop elsewhere. No reason to take the amount of time they take to ship two video games. Their business practices have dropped dramatically since I first started shopping from them and this will be the last…

    I love music games; Rock Band in particular. Lego Rock Band is just as fun to play as the other games in the franchise, however, a few issues hold this game back. The main issue that most people will have with this game is the setlist. There are only 45 songs included on the disc. In addition, the songs are all “kid friendly,” with an emphasis on pop music. I personally liked the setlist, but admittedly, it’s not for everyone, so look up the complete list before you consider buying. The Lego theming is fun and there are some great venues and characters to unlock. However, the load times are inexplicably longer than they were in RB2, even though the graphics appear less detailed.

    The real dealbreaker for this game is the DLC (down loaded content, ie songs) filter on the Xbox360 and PS3 versions. Since the game is rated “E for Everyone,” any DLC that you own must pass a content filter in order to be playable in Lego Rock Band. Only about half of the available DLC that you can buy for RB1 and RB2 works with Lego Rock Band; which is a big slap in the face to fans who have spent tons of money on DLC over the past few years. Also, only songs from Rock Band 1 can be transferred to Lego Rock Band (if you bought the export key when you bought RB2); RB2 songs are not exportable at this time. Wii owners get no DLC support whatever, so please DO NOT buy the Wii version if you have another console.

    Another minor gripe is that the game (at least the Xbox360 version) comes with one of those new “eco-friendly” DVD cases with the slits cut out of the plastic case behind the disc. This is totally unacceptable, as it makes it a lot easier for dust to get into the case, as well as for the disc to be scratched from behind. Another sour note is that the fee for exporting the Lego Rock Band songs to other Rock Band titles is now $10 (instead of the $5 we paid for RB1).

    I have actually been having fun playing this game…but all the negatives are leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. I want to like and recommend this game, but I advise people to rent or at least research the game more before purchase.

    This game is very very very well made (as all games by Harmonix are – Rockband, Rockband 2, and The Beatles Rockband). I’m a 29/m drummer and I love the game, however, my 4 year old nephew and 8 year old niece also LOVE the game as well. They can’t wait to play it and to be honest neither can I. The song/track list is very solid (a couple I don’t care for but overall VERY VERY good) and to be honest and blunt – it’s way better than guitar hero’s band hero game. I highly recommend this game to anyone even remotely thinking about buying it.

    My husband and teen sons play this game a LOT. It’s one of their favorites, and fun to watch too.
