Wow, its a lot harder than I thought it would be. But its a blast playing it, love having my hundreds of DLC songs on it too, specially since you have to actually play 300 diffrent DLC sings for that achievement.

Insanely addictive, it has that "just one more go" feel to it. Glad I purchased it. I've been using the bumpers myself.

At PAX I just got a quick crash course in how to play and I think I got whomped by the pinball powerup on a Paramore song but now that I'm exploring the whole game, it's so much deeper than I imagined. I'm VERY pleased with this game!

I too am having a blast with this. It's alot harder than playing with a plastic guitar, but I'll try using the triggers for controls and see how that goes. It really is addictive. HUGE bonus is adding the 25 songs to RB3 for $15.

*edit* Just tried trigger controls and did the best yet. Trigger control for playing notes is highly recommended from me too

No, you don't have to use your pretend instruments. YellowJacket LE said:If this is anything like the original games(Frequency,Ampiltude)than this is going to rockTried the demo, Set up similar to Freq & Amp, but much more forgiving.

I'm great at regular Rock Band but I am getting 3 stars, 4 stars and I'm like wha??? It's okay. I already got most of the achievements and I've been playing all day. I have 500 DLC songs on my hard drive. I love this game.

Do you need the Rock Band 3 disc for playing all the DLC songs? I'm confused
