I would consider Rock Band a casual game since everyone can easily play it. I have yet to have any of my friends or family have any issues playing it. Of course they may be playing on easy but the point is everyone has a chance to play it.

the fact that it's easier for newbie to get into doesn't mean it's not a hardcore games. SSBB in my opinion is a hardcore game too that features newbie friendly content. But the in-depth-ness (lack of better word) is what seperate the hardcore games from quick cash-ins.

Rockband: hardcore
hanna Montana: Quick cash in

 

Also, we don't need to bring up review scores, do we? :)


What the hell does review score have to do with it being casual or hardcore? Guess we will have to agree to disagree since rock band is a casual game in my book.


Do you own rockband?


I forget you only read the first sentence and then comment since I did mentioned I play it with my friends and family though they may do it on easy. The point is everyone gets to play without needing much instructions. The singing doesn't even need instructions LOL. Basically you have to be color blind to have a hard time playing rock band. Only thing that can be somewhat hard is the drums but even then you still have two guitars and 1 mic that others can jump in and have fun. Hope that answers your question.


When did you mention it again?

To understand why I classified Rockband a "hardcore" game, you really need to own it. the replayability, the depth in its gameplay, + DLC is what makes the game truely a king among other music-game.

Which is why I found it so insulting it was placed along side garbages like Hanna Montana game. It would be like putting Mario Kart with M&M kart.

^That is where i mentioned it.  Just scroll up and you will see it. 

I am sure is obvious by now that I own it and just because it has so many feautures doesn't mean it is hardcore when the core elements are casual.  Guess if you play on Hard ot Expert then it is "hardcore" but that is flexbility of the game.  More content or good gameplay does not mean hardcore LOL.  In terms of Hanna all they are saying that both games are fairly easy to pickup and play.  What if Hannah had a expert diffulty with tons of levels etc would it then be hardcore for you or is it literally just because of the name that your whining about.  I get it you don't want a kiddie game with horrible reviews to be compared to a superb game like Rock Band.  Not sure if you seen my post but I been the #1 Rock Band supporter on this site along with rocketpig just in case you may think I am trying to bring Rock Band down.
