Rock Band Reviews start streaming in

Well, as reviews start to pile up in the tubes, Rock Band looks to be shaping up as a five star title, with reviews hovering in the 90's. One particular review however gave this bulleted list of pros and cons which I think will be useful in determining whether or not the investment is worth it.

Full Arstechnica Review

Pros and Cons List:

Good:

• Each instrument is high-quality and feels great
• Band World Tour keeps everyone motivated to play their best
• Drumming teaches you actual rhythm and coordination
• The song selection is top notch
• The level of customization for the characters is much deeper than it first appears
• The presentation is great, with more realistic characters than Guitar Hero
• Guitar Hero controllers work fine
• The Fender adds a few neat tricks to the experience

Bad:

• The single-player experience isn't as fun as Guitar Hero
  
• Only launches as a bundle
• Needs more choices for faces in character creation
• Needs a lot of space to play properly
• The song list could use more songs with female vocals

Ugly:

• In your group of friends, there will be a person who doesn't think they can sing and can. There is also someone who thinks they can sing and can't.

Read the reviews and decide for yourself, but me, well I don't have 3 friends so this title most likely isn't for me.
