Through a fairly complex and yet unimportant arrangement with my fiancee's brother (brother-in-engagement?) I'm ending up getting an X-Box 360 in several weeks rather than solidly in January. As a preliminary bonus, we got Rock Band and played it. Between the fiancee's dad and the brother-in-engagement's friend, we often had four players, which was a lot of fun.
So a few quick observations:
* The new tour mode is more like actual band touring, multi-song sets, slower progression to new songs, scads of places to play.
* Drumming is hard! Even on easy you're using the footpedal and all four pads. Not surprisingly, rhythm is key. That said it was fun and felt real.
* Singing worked about as expected.
* Crazy free play periods, common for drum, only on some songs for everyone else, rock!
* Lots of options for character equiping, fair range for basic model. Blows Guitar Hero out of the water there.
More review in December once I've played it more.
