It has a Guitar Hero-like guitar, but then it also has a drum set and a microphone. So my sister, the former drummer, drums, and I, a former nothing, play the guitar. No one sings.
The neighborhood dogs are happier that way.
(You could have a singer, though...somehow it figures out whether you're singing the right notes or not, I think.)

We play guitar hero but I'd love to try Rock band...maybe this year for Christmas! I do karaoke a lot so I'd love to sing or be the drummer. I'm pretty good at the guitar thing on guitar hero. Bought a Wii for Christmas and get a good work out from that. Although I should play it more.....could lose about 15 lbs! lol Oh well....not a lot of time to do it but I do like it when I play it with my daughter.

Oh My!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I'm talking with my son and my hubby!!!!!!! LOL!
Yeah, we got guitar hero 3 and I think that Rock Band looks funner, because more people can be part of it! I know that if we got that, my son would probably hide the microphone, because his little sister LOVES to sing and perform! :sing: :sing: And let me tell you, he HATES listening to her sing!!!!!!!!!!!
She's actually pretty good BUT the fact that she walks around singing ALL THE TIME is what makes him CRAZY! (shhhh me too! but I try to be supportive!)
The biggest problem is she sings to no music and that drives him MAD! But maybe I should buy that for "the family!" If she had music maybe it wouldn't be so bad for him! I think I"d have fun with the drums!!!
Now look what you started Jean!!!!
