9.5	Presentation Musical themes are expertly woven into the very fabric of the game. Great options for everyone from beginners to experts.
7.0	Graphics Better than the PS2 version, but nothing special. Flashing lights can cause dizziness.

9.0	Gameplay Simple, addictive, and universally fun.
9.5	Lasting Appeal With downloadable tracks and a boatload of songs, this game will keep on giving.
9.4 Outstanding	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

 

IGN Ratings for Rock Band (X360)

Rating	Description

10	Presentation Simply amazing. The Band World Tour offers a fantastic new take on a career mode for a music game. The on-stage antics are above and beyond anything from Guitar Hero.
8.0	Graphics The character models are nice and the 40+ venues have excellent detail.
9.0	Sound Some of the 45 tracks offered are really not that great. But everything sounds good and having the crowd signing songs with you is an awesome experience.
9.0	Gameplay There's no doubt that many of the guitar sections are meant for a more casual audience. The drums and vocals make up for this though. Band World Tour is solid.
9.5	Lasting Appeal There are only 45 licensed tracks, and not all of them are great songs. But the BWT has legs and the upcoming downloadable content should extend the lifespan considerably.
9.4 Outstanding	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
