Before the whole debate over Rock band and Guitar hero there was a game by Korami called Guitarfreaks only found in japan minus a few stateside bowling alleys using a 3 buttoned guitar, harmonix took the formular to America and Europe and made it a huge success, its a little ironic that the company that started the whole thing is now playing catch up with the competion.

The game features 42 songs with a majority of the songs already featured in other games and there are only a handfull of exclusives and only 2 of the songs are master recordings the rest are covered by one band apparantly due to budget constraints, the cover songs guitars and drums sound up to date with the original songs but the laughibly bad vocals just ruins all 40 of them.

The game has a drum kit featured but there is no guitar with the game so you'll have to provide your own sad bit of irony if you've got one laying around from Guitar hero and no Rock band controllers work with the game and Steve Perry's do not apply because there is no singing to be done in the game and theres only 2 players max if you've been to enough partys with Rock band you'll know this game will keep any of your casual friends from caring.

Music games dont have to be the best looking around but this game just lacks class the backround are bland to the bone, the playable avatars are a flavourless bunch and the laughable pixelated crowd makes the game one of the ugliest games of 2009.

stick to Guitar hero and Rock band this game is'nt worth your time or money.

+ some good songs...
- shame there unexclusive or covers
- no guitar controller with game
- only 2 players max
- bland and ugly graphics

score = 3.2
