Reading skill is helpful for some of the game’s instructions, but there are also picture cues to let you know how to move the Wii remote. Multiple difficulty levels for each instrument ensure that little rockers of all skill levels can enjoy playing together and be challenged without getting frustrated. Only problem is that if your kids have already played Rock Band or Guitar Hero, they’ll probably think this game is lame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So your family wants a game with all the fun and music of Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but you can’t afford the high price tag or don’t have enough room in the house for all those instrument controllers.
