This review is from: Green Day: Rock Band (Video Game)

Preface:
This is a review for the solo "career mode" only. Haven't touched the XBOX live and multiplayer yet--I will update my review once I do that. I am also a big Green Day fan so that also affects my review.

Review:
I have REALLY been enjoying this game!!! I played through the whole main game in two days (which is HIGHLY unusual for me... I rarely ever complete a game no matter how much I enjoy it) and am now working on unlocking all of the bonus content.

High points:
* Great variety of songs from Insomniac - 21st Century Breakdown albums (3 partial albums, 3 full albums)
* Great variety of slow/fast/punk/pop-punk songs
* Great behind the scenes videos, photos, and concert performances -- rewarding and fun to complete the challenges
* I have only played guitar so far, (completed on hard and started on expert) but the parts have been a lot of fun and have a nice variety in song styles and playing styles
* Great replay value. As with all other Rock Band games, with 4 instruments to play, 3 part vocal harmonies, and 4 difficulty levels to choose from, there is plenty to do!

Low points:
* Repetitive stage-entrance videos (it appears to be one video for each venue that is shown at varying angles. It would have been nice to put forth the small effort to create a couple more varieties.
* Only 3 venues (and thus 3 sets of outfits for the bands)
* A little on the short side (would have loved more songs for the earlier days) in terms of the initial run-through

All in all, Green Day: Rock Band is very entertaining and a must-have for Green Day fans despite the average visual appearance. If you like Green Day at all, this is a must-have for your Rock Band collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded Expectations, October 5, 2010

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Green Day: Rock Band (Video Game)

I was hesitant in getting this for some reason but I'm really glad I did. It brings back memories with some classic 90's alternative/punk nostalgia.

It has the feel of a live concert even though you are playing to the studio albums. The crowd chimes in during certain choruses of the popular songs.

I have pretty much all of the Rock Band/Guitar Hero games and I usually just play the guitar and drums but this is the first game that I've actually wanted to sing along with. However, I don't like the fact that they silenced the curse words in the lyrics. There are also some fun and interesting bass lines in this game.

Coming from a person who owns Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Beatles Rock Band, Lego Rock Band, Green Day Rock Band, and Rock Band 3, I would say Green Day Rock Band is a very solid, highly entertaining effort by Harmonix at another band-specific release. If you appreciate the music of Green Day, this game is a no-brainer. If you enjoy music games in general, you will have a lot of fun with this game. All told, a great set list. The first time I played through it I noticed more than a few songs where I was like, "This a Green Day song? I never knew that, I love this song!" Green Day Rock Band allows guitar, bass, drums, vocals, including solo vocals, like all other Rock Band games, and an additional option of harmonies. For the harmonies option, you can use the microphones provided with the Lips game, if you already have them. Comparing apples to apples, Harmonix made some much needed improvements with their Green Day release over their Beatles release. Both band-specific games have a solid set list but the achievements for Green Day are much more attainable than in Beatles. By playing fairly well, expect to earn between 600 and 700 gamerscore points somewhat easily. Unlike Beatles Rockband, you are not required to 100% most of the songs on expert difficulty to earn some achievements. In my mind, the relative attainability of the achievements only serves to increase the fun factor of this game, where it can played for pleasure with your friends without the pressure of perfection. One last note, I would encourage you to buy this game new from Amazon.com so the code on the back of the instruction manual will be intact, allowing you to import your Green Day songs into Rock Band 3.
