I never understood why people liked this and GH so much, I can see the casual appeal and I would maybe buy 1 for some play every now and then, but I have a friend that used to get drunk and play this every weekend, he spent God knows how much money on DLC on XBL and his friend bought not 1, but 2 RockBand packages for the 360 in order to be able to have Rockband face off or whatever...

It's the next-generation "party" game. It's one of the funnest games to get 4 people to play along with. I have Rock Band (plus about 20-odd DLC songs) that I use for a post-Football party called 5th quarter at the church I pastor at. When we have Rock Band (as opposed to Halo or Madden), it's frequented by both genders quite evenly, and is far more watcher-friendly than most other party games (like a SSBB or Halo).

It's honestly not that awesome with 1 person, but when you get 4 competent Rock Band-ers, it makes for a fantastic experience. And since Rock Band has far more available content than Guitar Hero, and most of it is optional, allows you to get songs you, and your friends, want to play.
