The Rocking Was Poor
We had a lot of fun playing Rock Band together. Brother on drums, Beth with the vocals and me on guitar. It wasn't so fun that my guitar died after about 3 hours of light playing. It doesn't consistently recognize downward strums, which is essentially a deal breaker for the game. It's like the A button not working on an NES controller.
Harmonix has publicly acknowledged" that they shipped broken guitars. If they knew about it, and EA knew about it -- why would they ship them? The game cost me $120. For those without the discount it was $160. It's just unacceptable and I'm really peeved.
I'll play the game once I get my replacement guitar and probably have a great time. But not until I play some other stuff first. I just find it really frustrating as a customer, developer and gamer.
