I have had the World Tour Band Kit for the Wii for about 4 months now and LOVE it. I have played Guitar Hero since it first came out on PS2 and have also tried to play RockBand, Guitar Hero wins by leaps and bounds! The guitar works great and for those that can play on expert the new feature for tap playing is great. I have had little practice on the drums myself but my friends have played on it and they like it a lot, unlike the RockBand drums the Guitar Hero drums are set up more realistic to a real drum kit. I would recommend buying an additional guitar so that you can play as a band of 4 if you have a lot of friends. The microphone is also really easy to use and I haven't had and problems with it so far! I strongly recomend Guitar Hero World Tour over RockBand any day!

This game is really fun while it works. We had to send one guitar back, because it stopped working. Then the drums have a "sensitivity" issue which can be corrected with software. The top on one of the drums came off and had to be taped back on, because it will not pop back on. A little while after that, the tops on all the drums had to be taped in order to tune in correctly. But now, 2 out of the three drums have stopped working. Since the 90 day warranty expired, the only alternative is to buy a new drum set-quite expensive if you figure you'll only get so many months play each time. It appears the drums breaking is a common occurence-especially the red one. So, when considering purchasing this item, please take cost replacement into consideration. We're very disappointed with this item.

After one day of use the cable on the drum pedal started to crack and split, I went on line to Red Octains web sight and they sent me a new pedal and I sent the bad one back. I did give them my credit card number and they put a hold on about 20.00 till I sent the old one back. but every thing went smoothly with no hassels. I could have done it without the credit card, but it would have taken longer. Other than that the game works great and my son loves it.
