Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Great game and great customer service!! 2010-07-16
Comment: When I first received this game, I have to admit that the guitar was not working right. I was disappointed, especially since I had heard so many bad things about the EA customer service. But I went online to report the broken guitar, submitted my claim and asked for a replacement. Within hours, I received information about how to process the claim and receive my new guitar. I chose the option for them to send the replacement before I even sent the broken one back (yes, they put a deposit "hold" on your credit card to guarantee you actually return the broken item). I received the new guitar within two days!! It works great and I've had no problems since! I thought the EA customer service was great! Had no problems at all and was impressed with their fast response. This is a great game - a lot of fun for everyone and I love it!!!

Summary: Best interactive family game! 2010-04-08
Comment: My husband is usually the one to spend the most time on our XBox 360. He is so excited now that there is a game that I love just as much as him that we can play together.
Customer Rating: 2 Star
Summary: Great Game, Terrible Hardware. I concur 2010-04-08
Comment: The game is LOADS of fun. great songs, graphics, gameplay! whew! as good as advertised. first timers pick up all instruments quickly and have a great time! so why the 2 star rating? the hardware... great idea with wireless components, but the drums stink. just check youtube and see how many video hits you'll get with "fix rockband drums" a low quality solder job equals a signinficant number of buyers just out of warranty who now have to decide between buying a new set or using youtube and a solder iron to fix it. sucks... a game is not so much fun if it doesn't work! won't happen to everyone, but it may happen to you. it happened to me. not surprisingly EA changed the warranty from 90 to 60 days... not exactly a corporate vote of confidence. just FYI.

Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: AWESOME!! 2010-02-15
Comment: Rockband 2 does ROCK!! I got it at Amazon cheaper than any other Christmas sale in our recession - and that includes S&H!!!

My husband LOVES it and is constantly playing it. In fact, he is buying other versions and rocking out to them too! Beatles anyone?

The only problem we had was the foot thingee for the drums didn't work. It ended being a problem in the drum set, so they sent us a new one and it worked fine.

My husband, my son, and I rock out several times a week to this game and enjoy our "family time" as a rock band.

My husband goes through video games like there's no tomorrow. But Rockband 2 - he is going back to over and over and over again. He LOVES it!!!
Customer Rating: 4 Star
Summary: Disappointed with quality 2010-02-05
Comment: I was disappointed with the quality of Rock Band. We have had Rock Band for less than a month. The drum pads have come off and are coming off, and the foot pedal for the drum set broke, as well. I expected a higher quality product that would last longer than a month. I love the idea behind Rock Band, which is why we purchased it: however, the quality is sorely lacking.
