Title: Rock Band Wii sounds like Shareware

6.0 Presentation
A bare bones edition of the Rock Band we all know and love. The core experience is here, but a lot of the meat has been removed.

7.0 Graphics
With no character creation, much of the personality has been sucked out. Band performances are all pre-rendered video, and the package looks kind of generic.

8.0 Sound
The song selection is awesome. But the audio has been heavily compressed and doesn't sound as brilliant as it should.

8.0 Gameplay
This is the first game to make you feel like you're really playing in a band. The drums, in particular, are a heck of a lot of fun to play. But it's a more straight forward experience on Wii.

7.5 Lasting Appeal
As fun as playing in a band is, you're bound to get sick of the track list eventually. The upcoming track pack will help, but it's also missing the lenghty World Tour mode.

7.9
Good OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

 :lol

No, it sounds like something you'd get on Downloads.com

To be fair it sounds slightly above the average casual game download on the PC. Not by too much, and certainly it'll probably look worse than most causal games on the PC do because it's on the god damn Wii.

PS2 version is great.

It's still a step down from the Xbox360 and PS3 version.

I remember when I told everyone on GAF like two years ago that Harmonix hated Nintendo ever since they got screwed over by them with Karaoke Revolution Party. Then look what Harmonix deliberately does.  :lol

Because it has a lazy port of a game you probably already played on another system?

Yes, that was clearly their intention, to pick Pi Studios to get back at Nintendo

The Wii is nothing but a nuclear waste site where after the usable portion gets used for the PS3 and 360, the waste gets shipped off to the Wii.

No 3D graphics, all pre-rendered.

No DLC.

Music is super-compressed to a noticeable point.

Everything but the guitars are wired.

Guitars are bad.

Missing World Tour.

Missing character customization.

No online.

No DLC.

:rofl So nothing that makes Rock Band fun?

Odd, considering it's gotten generally positive reviews.

All pre-rendered?  That's amazing! They just saw the Guitar Hero 3 Wii sales numbers and shit this puppy out.
