Rock Band 3 #FAIL

Rock Band 3: A great game idea let down by not being properly finished and by awful support.  I bought this game because the blurb said that all the previous Rock Band titles supported song export. Not only is this not correct but the export features of Rock Band 2 and Lego Rock Band are broken and you cannot get these songs into Rock Band 3.  Rock Band Beatles will not export at all. Couple this with the incomplete on-line experience – game linking is advertised but broken – and you have yourself a classic game to avoid for now. 

As if game problems were not bad enough:  the hardware is now made by Madcatz.  Those are the same people that bought you Drum Kit Dampers that made drums louder and plastic drum stick which break when you play the drums.  Yuck!  do yourself a favour, ignore this game until the problems are fixed.  Play some Guitar Hero!  If you don’t have any of the RB series and simply have to buy one, buy RB the original first, it’s really cheap now and all the bugs are ironed out.
