    It's not as polished or as lovingly handcrafted at the Beatles: Rock Band, but a lot of the songs are way more fun to play. Now, if only there were more of them.

    Sure, it's not quite as good as the outstanding Beatles-centric Rock Band, but Green Day: Rock Band is a great game nonetheless. [July 2010, p.86]

    Green Day: Rock Band is a well-presented game, but unless you're a Rock Band junkie or a die-hard fan of the band there isn't much of a reason to pick it up. Still, it's tough to deny the game's merits even if you don't care for the subject matter.

    Green Day fans will adore it, but it's more a song pack than a full band experience.

    There is not much to be said about Green Day Rock Band that isn't covered by the simple fact that if you enjoy Green Day as a band, you will likely enjoy what the game has to offer.

    You probably already know if Green Day: Rock Band is something for you. If you're a fan of the band you won't have to think twice to get rocking with this insane amount of Green Day-tracks. If you're not a fan, you can easily skip this edition. It brings little to nothing new to the table and isn't a full step forward in the series.

    If, like me, you've cooled on the music genre in recent months, I don't think Green Day is the band to reignite your love affair with Rock Band. In the future, maybe Harmonix could attempt a single band title based around a more complex – and more fun to play – band like Muse or Rush.

    Green Day: Rock Band is a respectable game, but you don't need a review to tell you whether you should pick it up or not. If you like Green Day, you don't need to ask any more questions: Go pick up Green Day: Rock Band today.

    They're not the most obvious choice for a band-specific Rock Band title, but Green Day's pop-punk hits suit the format. [July 2010, p.50]

    While it's not going to convert anybody that isn't already a fan to the band's cause - not helped by the disappointing career mode, which could have been used to tell the story of the band in more depth fashion - those who are already fans will have a blast with this game and its decently-sized tracklist that hits many of the high points of their career.

    Green Day: Rock Band has a more rock feel to it than The Beatles game did and provides fans of the band with a mostly solid set list to play through. It doesn't introduce anything new to the Rock Band formula we've come to know and to sum up all I can say is, it does what it say on the box. Gives fans of the band access to their songs.

    It's not their fault, but Green Day doesn't (yet) have the songs to carry a game like Green Day: Rock Band. Uneven songs and low difficulty makes this a game for Green Day fans only.

    Green day Rock band is one of those few non-hardcore games that are pure amazingness. It contains All the songs from American Idiot, Dookie, and 21st century breakdown (Excluding the 6 pre-released tracks, which are available to download for $2 each). It also contains some songs from Nimrod, Warning, and other Albums. All the songs on this can be moved to Rockband 3 via an SD card or the system, with a $10 fee. I love singing and playing bass to these amazing songs by one of the best bands in history. Without a doubt, this is the best music game, casual game, or rhythm game you can get.… Full Review »

    Not quite as good as the first band-only spin-off (THE BEATLES: ROCK BAND, in case you didn't know), but GREEN DAY: ROCK BAND has every one of Green Day's best songs (the entire Dookie album, the entire American Idiot album, and most of the 21st Century Breakdown album--the rest is downloadable). I just really think "21 Guns" should have been already on the setlist rather than an optional download.… Full Review »

    Green Day: Rock Band is my favorite of the Rock Band series, considering the fact that the only other Rock Band games I have played are Lego Rock Band and The Beatles: Rock Band. It consists of a lot of the classic songs from Green Day, which you can sing, drum, or strum to! It does not have the best of graphics, but if you are concentrating on the graphics, and not the notes coming down; then you should probably try the song on a harder level. If one was considering buying Green Day: Rock Band; he must have 2 of 2 of the following requirements: #1. Most importantly, he must be a true Green Day fan. If he just likes a couple of their songs, then he should not waste $29.99 in buying this game, and should just buy the couple of songs for his iPod or other MP3 player for $1.98. If he can name at least 10 songs by Green Day, then he might want to consider this game! #2. He must have another Green Day fan to play with him, (hence the name Green Day: Rock Band!) the exception being that if he is fine just playing by himself, which can get boring after awhile, even though this game has great replayability. So, to all you American Idiots out there, this game punk rocks!… Full Review »
