The RockBand insturments may better approximate the look and feel of a real insturment, but playing RockBand is to music what DDR is to dancing ... Certainly there may be some skill crossover, and it might be a good way for people to get interested in an activity they weren't interested in before, but it completely misses the free form creativity which is why people enjoy the activity at a higher level.
Now the thing that disturbs me about the topic is that IGN is basically admitting that they don't review games based on how good they are at what they're trying to be, IGN reviews games on what they want games (in general) to be.
