The System
The Nintendo DSi is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek, folding design-loaded with features designed to create a unique gaming experience. Like the DS and DS Lite before it, the DSi features Nintendo's trademark stylus-driven touchscreen technology, but determined to make portable gaming simultaneously larger and smaller in all the right places, Nintendo has also created the DSi with significantly larger screens and an even slimmer body design than its earlier cousins. Other features include the ability to snap photos with built-in cameras, edit and send them to friends, play back your music with Nintendo DSi Sound, or browse the Internet with the Nintendo DSi Browser. From playing games to just playing around, the Nintendo DSi does it all.

Features:

The DSi's Two Digital Cameras
The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo DSi system are its two cameras - one camera is situated on the external body pointing away from the user, and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system, the DSi Cameras feature 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your photos, offering an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games, and in the process provide developers with a new tool to devise creative games and experiences. If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of sight.

Pre-Installed Titles from the Brain Age Collection:
Enjoy titles like - Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Sudoku, Brain Age Express: Math, Clubhouse Games Express: Card Classics And Photo Clock With the Brain Age Collection, your Nintendo DSi comes loaded with Brain Age favorites. You can also display your favorite photos in the handy Photo Clock. The Brain Age Collection turns your Nintendo DSi system into your personal brain trainer!

DSi Sound
Another enhanced feature is the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. The mic is located between the two screens when the device is flipped open, and there is also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music saved on an SD card, even with the screen shut.

The DSiWare
In the world of software, Nintendo DSi will be the platform for the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications. The Nintendo DSiWare application will populate Nintendo DSi with software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points directly to the portable system, just as WiiWare has with Nintendo's Wii console. Developers big and small are invited to create software that makes use of the properties and functions of the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.

Games and Backwards Compatibility
In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DS games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system. As an example of the quality of games that DSi players can expect to see both from both Nintendo and third-party game developers, at the launch of the DSi Nintendo also released Rhythm Heaven. A wildly popular rhythm game in Japan, where it has sold nearly 2 million copies since its release in mid 2008, Rhythm Heaven features catchy tunes, charming characters, and a wide variety of rhythm games as it makes maximum use of the DSi's functionality.

Facebook
Nintendo DSi owners have even more ways to share their experiences with friends and family. Using an Internet-connected Nintendo DSi system and the Nintendo DSi Camera application, Facebook members can take pictures with either of the system's two cameras and upload their photos directly to their Facebook profile. While reviewing pictures they've stored in the Nintendo DSi Camera album, which includes photos taken by users and manipulated using the built-in interactive lenses, users can simply tap the Facebook icon on the system's touch screen to instantly transmit photos to the user's Facebook profile. The user's system must be configured to a wireless broadband Internet connection for the transmission of photos.

What's in the Box
Each DSi comes complete with: one Nintendo DSi System, one Nintendo DSi stylus, one Nintendo DSi AC power adapter, an easy start guide, manuals (basic and controls) and a support booklet.

Nintendo DSi Bundle
Its a great product. I bought it for my 11 year old son. He just loves it. I am glad I bought it. I also bought the R4i along with it.

Great Gift for my son!! He Loves it
Great Gift for my son!! He Loves it. He said that everything works well except sometimes when he plays the "Warrior Snapped" game, it may not always work. He also enjoys this DSI better than his previous DS because of the additional features it has.

My daughter loves it!
This product is great. My 11 year old daughter loves it! Its a shame that they only sold this Mario limited edition during the holidays. They sold out pretty quickly.

Nintendo dsi
We were debating on getting an Ipod Touch or this. This has all the capabilities an Ipod Touch has, plus you can play the ds and dsi games. Onyl downfall is you cannot play SP games-but we still have the old DS so it is ok. Awesome buy..awesome package! Well worth the price!

Fun for all ages!
This was a Christmas present for my mom who is in her 60's. She had just a little trouble getting everything set up, but beyond that, it was great. Everyone kept wanting to play and improve their "brain age."

Wireless Fight Stick
I've always been a fan of Street Fighter growing up. All other fighting games always came 2nd to me. So buying a good arcade stick is very important to replicating that traditional arcade feeling at home. I gotta admit that I was a little worried about this controller's quality and performance but all that worry went away after I played with it a few min after opening the box.

My friend has the tournament edition (0) SF Fight stick and yes this is not to that level of quality but at the end of the day, this stick does its job well. For the price, it makes it a great buy.

I'm very happy with it and the wireless capability is a big bonus. No more worrying about wires tangling or knocking over glasses on the table as you pass it around with your friends.

Definitely buy this and you might think about getting two since its so much cheaper! I plan to pick up another one so that I have a pair to use when friends are over.

the joystick is ok...its just as fun with regular xbox controller
Once I finally got the game...meaning I waited over a month to received this game from Amazon...missed my son's birthday...I finally called and Amazon they said "SORRY" and shipped it out the day I called...
the joystick is ok...its just as fun with regular xbox controller

Worth it.
The overall quality of the game is quite remarkable and the quality of this limited edition bundle even more so. The arcade style controlled is very responsive, it will make you want to have a second one, as the game feels completely different on it, much better to be more precise. The art book that comes with the bundle is beautiful and came as something as a surprise. Bottom line, you won't find a better deal if, like me, you are in the market for an affordable fight stick.

Tekken 6 with arcade pad controller
I really like fighting games, and Tekken is still a classic. This one still doesn't feel like the physics of the fighting are as smooth. And getting use to the force mode, style of unlocking everything feels forced and takes time to get use to. I would never play the mode at all if I didn't need it to unlock stuff for the game.

The Main reason I bought this pack was for the Arcade stick wireless control. Which for Tekken 6 is the only way to play this game. However, the lacking lazyness of not putting a d-pad on the control makes it useless to almost all other games. What were they think, we would only use the control for tekken because of the sticker on it.

It's all about the wireless fight stick.
First things first, Tekken 6 is a solid fighting game. It has a steep learning curve and punishing difficulty, even on the easy setting, that gives you a rewarding feeling for every victory you achieve. As I have discovered, if you can't master at least one 10-hit combo on your character, you will have a lot of trouble with this game. The unlock system in this game is both interesting and stressful. All of the game's playable characters are available from the beginning, and the only things you must earn are outfits, hairstyles, and various accessories for each character. The plus side is that after your efforts to buy each item, you will have a unique look for your fighter. The downside is the price of each item. For simple sunglasses, as an example, you must earn the equivalent of 30 perfect fights worth of money. This slow grind for cash makes the game lose it's value really fast. You will find yourself playing the same modes over and over until you can afford to look the way you intended from the start. If you have the patience and skill, this game is definitely for you.

Now, the fight stick is the greatest part of this bundle. To answer some aching questions, yes it is indeed compatible with any other fighter on the console. The only things it lack are the two joysticks [as the arcade stick's joystick is mapped as the controller's D-Pad], so you can't use it for games that require this like first person shooters. There is no input lag, so the moment you press the button is the moment your character reacts. Fans of the arcades in your neighborhood rejoice, as the button layout is designed to emulate tournament-grade setups. Being an arcade freak, I was glad that it looked, felt, and operated like it truly should, even after some button mashing abuse. Being the first wireless unit on the next gen consoles also sets it apart from other similar arcade sticks. During a game session with 6 of my friends, passing it around after each round was an effortless endeavor. It is really light, in spite of it's appearance, and has a decent battery life. If you own any other fighting game, or plan on getting another in the near future, you should make this purchase right now.

Great game and stick, Nuff said...

First of all let me start off by saying this is a fun game to play. I love the versus fighting and the cut scene campaign mode. I love how you are able to customize your characters, and not to mention the wide variety of characters.
Honestly theres not much I can say about the game the title "Tekken" speaks for itself.
Tekken 6 is by far my favorite of all the tekken series, Online features are also great.

Now the stick...
The stick is great, responsive, stylish, but not very heavy. If your concerned about the weight of the stick then this might not be a stick for you. However if your like me and don't care for the weight of the stick then this stick is great.
I am somewhat disappointed that its not bluetooth compatible and you have to use a dongle but overall its great.
Yes its true that its not a TE stick and in no way can you compare it to one but if you don't want to blow 150 dollars on a TE stick then this is great for budgeting.
It is compatible with all games that I have tried. (MvC2, SF4, Super Street Fighter HD Remix)
And for the price of dollars you can't go wrong with a game, a flashy hard cover book, and a great stick.

Hope this helped.

Good Game but not the Joystick
Well,

I bought this bundle because comes two important things, the game and the joystick.

I have played Tekken series since Tekken 3
I played Tekken Tag
Tekken 4 was a mistake by namco
Tekken 5 pretty good(I have not played Tekken DR yet)
And the last of Tekken series by now Tekken 6

But every time that I play Tekken 6 I get tired and frustating but is not the game is the Joystick, as I said before I have played Tekken since ~1999 I have played on arcade and PAD(well the arcades versions with the time was terrible because I live in South America the paradise of nothing you know) I thought that the Joystick was decent but I can't play in Left side AKA P1 I'm Mishima player and I can't do nothing in P1 side in the P2 side I'm fine(well not at all but isn't frustating) I think there is a trick, so much much practice...

I just play for fun and now I think before to play, I'm going to give another oportunity to the Joystick although I think that the Joystick isn't not good for PRO players

I'm thinking buy this:

Playstation 3 Real Arcade Pro. 3 Fighting Stick

Saludos...

Tekken never disappoints
Just received the game today and I've been playing it for the past 6-8 hours. So far I'm not having any problems with the wireless fight stick, the "square" button on the stick is starting to stick a little bit but it's not affecting the game play at all. So expect to need to do a routine cleaning with some canned air, other than that it works great! Crisp controls, you can tell Tekken was made for an arcade stick when you're playing with it. As for the game itself, I'm having the time of my life. I expect quality whenever I buy a Tekken game and it always delivers. I recommend this Limited Edition box set to EVERYONE looking to purchase Tekken 6, if you're going to play it, you NEED to experience it with the fight stick. Hori doesn't usually make good sticks, but they really knocked the ball out of the park with this stick. "A+"

Great game, Mediocre Joystick
The joystick doesn't use the rechargable lythium ion batteries like a normal PS3 controller, you have to use AA batteries. Even worse is the wireless technology, whereas the PS3 controllers connect to the console itself via bluetooth, this controller requires a USB dongle that's just asking to be lost. Why isn't there a compartment to store the dongle on the controller itself?
Get the regular game Tekken 6 and an x-arcade X-Gaming X-Arcade or X-Arcade Solo Joystick for a better experience.

Awsome GAME Awsome DEAL

If your a fighting game fan, TEKKEN is absoulutely for you. The cast of Characters are very well balanced between male,female,cyborg,and comic releif characters. All of the fighting moves are visually awsome, and game play is so addicting. the fight mechanics i have to say is for the advanced fighting game fanatic(meaning that a rookie can't just jump right in and start kicking ass, practice is a must b 4 actually getting competitive)
Ok for the bundle, it's awsome, because for .00 where it used to b 0.00 range, it's a steal. the stick is a must for tekken fans and it's a super plus that the stick works perfectly for MAME games.

Entertaining and Stress Relieving
Better than kicking the dog after a long day. Medium is just about right for sight reading. Music for gen-x or millenial, a few for the old-guys. The kids like super-easy strumming or playing roadie on the DS. Download library is not limitless. Guitar works well; the kids already broke a tuning knob off, but it's just decoration anyway. Guitar works with all other band/hero games so far.

Kicka$$
This game is freakin awesome! Yes some of the songs suck, but its Guitar Hero, they all have some songs that suck, kinda hard to please everyone in the world. Some people have had issues with the whammy bar, but mine works great! 5 hours of hard jamming on it, and the whammy still springs into action everytime! Activision did awesome with this one, the guitar is the best lookin one ive seen so far! Keep up the good work!

Needed the extra guitar...
I bought this because we needed the extra guitar for the bass player in our Band Hero. I decided to get the bundle so we'd have an extra game to play as well. The game works with the entire band just like band hero (the 5 piece drumming instead of 4 like rock band). Love having the extra instrument and the song list is pretty good too!

Graphic not as they appear in pictures for wii
When I received Guitar Hero 5 for my wii, I was very excited. I have 2 guitars, a drum set, and a mic. At the same time, my cousin who owns an XBOX 360 had guitar hero 5 as well. When I went over to his house, I was shocked. The graphics for guitar hero 5 on XBOX 360 are amazing. You can see every fold in the clothes, the shine of the leather, every movement of their hair and clothes. The stage appearance was so realistic and so were the characters. But on the wii, the characters movements seem jerky and do not even compare to the PS3/XBOX 360 graphics. The pictures that they have on this page could not possibly be from the actually wii game play. Carlos Santana on the wii DOES NOT look like that at all. When the characters move, their clothes and hair are still stiff, and still resemble the world tour days. On another hand, it does have the option to where it converts any downloaded songs you have from previous games to this one, which is a great feature. But when I saw the difference in the graphics, I was very disappointed.

It's so-so.
The guitar requires an additional Wii controller. The space to put the controller in is almost too small. The wire connection to the Wii controller gets bent severely and is sure to wear out at some point in the future. The best you can hope for is to put a dedicated Wii controller in there and not take it out very often.

The game itself has incredibly small fonts, and they aren't the kind that are easy to read.

Figuring out how to make multiple bands/careers is not intuitive at all, I had to find a how-to online since the menu path was so deep and hard to locate.

The game is fun overall, but we've never heard of most of the songs or bands on there.

Hours of fun!
My son received this as a Christmas gift and to this day has tons of fun on it. The price was great and well worth it.

Good game but not a great selection of songs
Fun game to play at a party or when guests are over. Has some ups and downs good game for any age and fun for the entire family.

A real blast to play!
This is my first experience with Guitar Hero...Since I'm an older gamer I've appreciated some of the more classic songs on the play list. The game is fun to play, has so many options to tweak and modes of play that should satisfy any fan of the series and new ones, as well. My only disappointment is the quality of the bundled guitar. It's wireless and has worked fine since my purchase. Initially, I had nothing to compare it with. Now we have a second guitar-a Fender Stratocaster for the Rock Band series. This guitar was purchased as a stand alone. The bundled guitar that comes with Guitar Hero looks cheap and plastic in comparison to the Stratocaster. I'm also not a fan of the clicking strum bar found on the bundled guitar which is not an issue on the Stratocaster.

My first rhythm game, and I highly recommend it
In summary, this is a great game. It really shines in single-player and local multi-player modes. I purchased this over the Christmas 2009 holiday on an Amazon lightning deal. Amazing deal from Amazon.

Pros:

* Great single-player experience
- It was important to me that the game have a solid single-player campaign because I play it mostly by myself.

* Great local multi-player experience
- Have had friends over many times already, and we've had a blast with it. I bought 3 more guitars -- 2 of the Les Paul type from GH3, which are a steal right now, 1 from GH World Tour, and the 1 controller that came with this bundle. Most people are best at playing guitar anyway, so we play multi-player with guitar and bass only.

* Party mode
- This mode allows your friends to jump in and drop out of a song without stopping the song for the other players. If you're new to these games, it sounds minor but it's actually a very helpful feature, especially when playing 4-player local multi-player and your friend's girlfriend needs to switch from medium to easy which _would normally_ pause the whole game and ruins your note streak :) Just sayin'...

* Pretty good setlist
- I will give the creators credit: the songs they chose are good guitar songs and they really ramp up the difficulty gradually. However, if you're looking for a game full of current and recent radio hits, I would recommend Band Hero, which I also bought from Amazon, once I enjoyed this game so much.

Cons:

* Online multi-player makes it hard to find people, at least on PS3
- The matchmaking hardly works at all. I've probably tried 10 times to setup an online match and found success only twice. Me and my friends just sit there waiting for people to join the match. For this reason, you may want to consider having friends over to play this.

Decent
The Guitar Controller strum bar broke after 2 months of sparse use (maybe 10-20 hours of total use). It plays up-strokes on its own..... It was fun when I could play it, but there's no way I'm buying a new controller and there's no way I'll go back to using the GH3 controller.

I bought the GH:WT Controller as well, and it completely stopped playing down-strokes.... I wont be buying anymore Guitar Heros.

Happy
I got this for my son for Christmas. He opened it and played it all that day. He had a lot of fun with it. He even beat the game that day.

Best Software and Hardware so far!
I just got this game and it's amazing!

I'm not gonna review this based on tracklist, cause everyone have different opinions, but i'm reviewing it entirely

First: Hardware
Pretty decent guitar, great improvement the ability to detach the neck to the body, it really helps carrying it. The touch track it's great, pretty responsive and gives extra funcionalities like Slap-bassing and wah-wahs.
It looks the most solid one from the series and it has a good wheight and size.

Secondly: Game
I've not played GH: World tour, but since GH: 3, Aerosmith and all. this game seems GREAT!
you may play with your 360's avatar and you can also customize your own rocker (leeched from Rock band, so what? it makes this game great), the tutorials cover pretty much the new aspects of the game and there is the GH Studio, where you can Jam songs and even create your own song!! This last feature seems great, it's kinda deep and it's not soo easy to work with it at first, but i'm sure it's that way so you can do almost any song you want! and you don't even have to have the drums hardware to record it on GH Studio. It's great also for just Jamming, practicing wah-wahs, bass slaping and soloing. NICE!

Favorite Version
This is my and my wife's favorite version of Guitar Hero! The music selection is killer, the user interface is much improved, the ability to create your own characters is a big plus, the way multiplayer now works is excellent, and the graphics are of course improved. What else could you ask for?

GH 5: Awesome!
I have played just about every Guitar Hero game; from the original Guitar Hero (on PS2) to this new installment. This game surpasses the others by a long shot! Not only because of the great music, but because Party Mode is genius on the part of the game developers. I have often wanted to (or needed to) step out of a song for one reason or another, and now I can do so without ruining the game for my kids. I also like the fact that, unlike GH World Tour, as a singer on GH 5 you can tell whether or not you're doing well on a song. All in all, this was a great buy.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT. RECEIVED IN LIKE 2 DAYS!!!!!
Bought as gift. Got it from Amazon in like 2 days. CONDITION EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED.

Great family fun
I got this cheaper at Amazon.com than any other store I could find, even on sale.
It's our first "Band" game..and is really fun for us parents to play with the kids. I bought Rock Band first..but after looking at the song list.. returned it. It was more for the the 22-28 age bracket, in my opinion. We have many Guitar Hero games but no drums, mic etc. It's a way for all of us to play together.
It was delivered quickly and was at my front door. No lugging it home after packing it in the car by myself.
The only downside is, that I think you have to hit the drums kinda hard for them to register in the game. Not sure if it's just this set of drums or all in Band Hero. But my 8 yr old has no trouble banging away (i would think 5 yr old might not be strong enough). Overall I was quite happy with my choice in games, and the service from Amazon.com
Xbox 360 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle

Band hero
Very enjoyable and fun songs that do not focus on the metal era of music

BAND HEROS X4
MY 4 TEENS LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GAME AND IT GETS THEM ALL TOGETHER IN ONE ROOM WITH NO FIGHTS, ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER IN THEIR EFFORTS. EVEN HAD A GO AT IT MYSELF

Great game-- drum pedal broken on arrival
We love Band Hero! It's great music-- and songs everybody knows (since we all have listened to the light rock radio stations in town at least a few times). Making your own rocker is great, using your xbox 360 avatar is hilarious, and it is the perfect party/holiday game.

Two concerns-- our drum set came with a broken pedal, which, had I made the purchase in town, I would have returned and had replaced, but since it was purchased online and shipping for that enormous heavy box would have been out the wazoo, we're just dealing with it.

The other-- why are there no guitar hero/band hero/rock band christmas carols available for download? Not Amazon's fault. :) I know. But wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to make some more money? Last Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock?

Band Hero = great family fun
This is a fun game even for small kids. The easy to hard levels makes it great for any age and you don't have to actually turn all the instruments on for the game to work. (We leave the guitar off while the 3 year old plays but he thinks he's playing) For those less musical, the easy level really is easy. I just wish you could up load more songs or they had songs the younger kids would know. But we still like it.

Family or group fun for all.
Overall this is a great buy. I think this game bundle is great for the parties or small gatherings.

Band Hero Blast
Great game. Great music. It has a lot of newer and some older songs that the kids really like.

Drums broke :-(
Band kit arrived within the specified time frame (three days before the "delivery window" ended.
Everything advertised was included. Game disc was in great shape. Drums looked good. Guitar
looked fine.
I used the drums for 9 days, then the red drumpad failed to register the drumstick hits...
That is unacceptabe.
9 for one week of use...
Timely delivery service, terrible product.

Amazing game Better price
I bought this game for my nephew at Christmas, at a local store and i paid 5 for the bundle for PS2. I just purchased Band Hero on Amazon for 0, great price for a great game that will keep you entertained for hours. Its fun for any age and also for anyone. This game can be played by all people it is that easy.

Great family game, questionable quality
First purchased Guitar Hero (also made by Activision) for Christmas. Wires were all dry rotted, a mess. Returned then bought this as a replacement. Received with defective cymbal. Although customer service shipped replacement that did work, still a big pain. Game is lots of fun for tthe entire family, even the 3 yr old likes to sing.

The kids love it
I bought this for my husband and kids who love any music aspect of the Wii. They are having a ton of fun with it. It's on the expensive side, but I'm glad I got it for them.

Our Family loves this game!!
I have a 10 yr old and 5 yr old that play with with my husband and myself and they love it. Because the levels go all the way down to beginner it makes it extremely easy for even my 5 yr old to play along and it doesn't mess the rest of us up. The first thing I did after purchasing this kit was to buy an extra guitar and 3 extra "Wii-motes" so we wouldn't have to continually remove the remotes from the instruments and risk breaking the cables or remote connections (I do have a 5 yr old that plays this often). In my opinion that was the best thing in the world because it seems in the long run it will save wear and tear on all equipment.

I will mention that the Band Hero drum set will play with the Rock Band video games that have the 4 drum instrumentation, but I don't think the Rock Band 4 piece drum set will work with the Band Hero game. Someone please comment if you know otherwise, I'd like to know. If you play Rock Band with the 5 piece Band Hero drums then both the blue drum and the orange cymbal are used for the blue dot. The song list is great and my kids love it more than either of the 2 Guitar Hero games that we have.

When you first play the game you will want to calibrate the instruments to your TV because there can be a lag causing the sound of the instrument to not line up with the time that you are striking. Can be annoying and mess you up a lot. Just go to Options and calibrate. As for the drums, if you don't have carpetted floors you might want to buy some non-slip pads to stick to the bottom of the set because as you use the foot pedal for the kick drum it makes the set scoot out. Not a problem if you have carpetting.

Overall it's a GREAT family game for just about ALL ages!!

Addictive!
We've been playing it almost every day. I've hesitated to buy any of these types of game sets because they usually have a lot of offensive songs. This one has a nice mix of new and 80's type music. It's so much fun. Very family friendly. Even my 6 year old can bang around on the drums on Beginner level and get some points. None of us are that great musically, but we're having a lot of fun!! One thing I didn't realize when I purchased is that you need a Wiimote for each instrument. We only had 1 Wiimote at the time so we had to take turns playing the game and take turns with instruments...it wasn't long before I was back placing another order for the other needed Wiimotes. Now it's all fun, fun, fun!! I just wish there were more songs and more things to unlock. My son loves that he can actually bring Taylor Swift up on the screen while playing one of her songs, and I just realized that No Doubt is on there too! Cool! And it's the actual songs played by the band, not covers. Top quality!

Family WII Night!
This is just great family entertainment if there's no option but to be stuck inside the house. I love how you can sing, play the guitar, and play the drums altogether, though it's nothing like being in a real band. This will not teach you how to play musical instruments or how to sing, but how to pretend. The levels vary, you really have to know what you're doing to move up. It's great for karaoke get-togethers. The graphics are not impressive, and there's only a limited selection of characters. This works for families who are not die hard fanatics of rock and roll. The software is more family-friendly than Rock Band or Guitar Hero because they actually have songs that the general population will know. What I like about it most of all, is that the whole family can play, no matter how young or old and it doesn't feel like you're sitting in front of a video game.

good value for band game
we are really enjoying having this super bundle. We shopped around for a set with the game, drums, guitar, and microphone, and this was definitely the best deal out there. Not as easy as it sounds with "Taylor Swift" mentioned in the bundle description, this game is a challenge to play and still lots of fun for the entire family.
