Ah, The game that started the international trend of rock music games and started a revolution.

Pros
The songlist. This is an AMAZING songlist consisting of many modern rock songs (covers) (fat lip, take me out) to classic rock (killer queen, more than a feeling) and even indie Harmonix band master tracks (get read 2 rokk, behind the mask). Also the interface suits the game perfectly with so bad their good drummer jokes every where.

Cons

The HOPO's DON"T work, thankfully being the first of it's kind the expert difficuly is really easy ( I managed to sightread my way though) with the exception of Cowboys from Hell which may be hard for some. But this is forgiven considering it was revolutionary for 2005. The current price ( I saw it at wal-mart for STILL $39.99) This is WAY TOO MUCH considering it's now outdated.

Overall, if you see this for $20 or less definatly but it it's worth it for the first of it's kind
