I know, this is old news but I just got this game for the Playstation 2. It’s still hard to find the special edition that comes with not only a guitar, microphone, drum kit and the game itself but also a $167 price tag. Even though its a bit pricey, the bonus is the gear works on the PS3 as well so if I upgrade, I just have to buy the new version of the game.

The game itself is amazing. The drums have a good response and solid feel to them and I really like the guitar much better than the guitar hero guitars. The guitar is modeled after the iconic Fender Stratocaster made famous by so many rockers. I’ve heard you can even learn to play real drums because of this game since the motions are so similar. I haven’t put that to the test yet but I can play some solid drums on the easy setting so far.

I remember when I first got Karaoke Revolution and then Guitar Hero I said to my wife how awesome it would be if you could do both of those games in one…that was about 3 years ago. I totally predicted this because I’m awesome!

Anyway, this is a must have for any party because its insanely fun. The gear doesn’t take up too much space and easily breaks down into core components for easy storage. You can even buy a bag now for both the guitar and the drum kit to easily carry your gear to your next “gig”.
