    Rock Revolution is exactly what you’d expect from the music game genre, assuming the last three years never happened.

    Rock Revolution is a disaster.

    Rock Revolution is a bad attempt at cashing in on the genre. It really does nothing to separate itself and actually siphons most of the enjoyment out of playing music games.

    If Rock Revolution came out two or three years ago, it might have been revolutionary, but in 2008, it's not even relevant. Uninspired presentation, a tiny tracklist that includes no master tracks, a complete lack of vocal support, uninteresting gameplay, and a barebones Career mode are just a few of the many ways in with Rock Revolution fails.

    Rock Revolution is inferior to its competition in every single possible way. If you absolutely have to try it, we urge you to think of it as a track pack of guitar-only songs for Rock Band or Guitar Hero and buy just the game (instead of the drums-included bundle).

    More revolting than it is a revolution. [May 2009, p.87]

    Rock Revolution is ruined by its painful visual style, and is nearly unplayable on the higher difficulties. [June 2009, p.83]

The game-play is fine once calibrated properly. The visuals are okay, even though you should only be looking at the notes on your 2d fret-board (yes, a vertical 2d fret-board, make sure to adjust your eyes!) The soundtrack is good, and the covers are somewhat alright. A few other features and modes make it an alright purchase by today's standards.… Expand

    The vocals are all re-recorded (not well), the instrumentals are all off-beat. The tracklisting is pretty good tho.
