"Great Add-on for Rock Band"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A must have for the Rock Band fan, the keyboard allows you to finally rock with a full band. And, as a bonus, it can teach you to actually play a keyboard as a bonus. The one draw back is that it's not supported by many of the older songs you may have imported from RB1/2, and the keyboard parts for downloadable songs often cost extra. But that's okay, because all the RB3 songs on disk are there, ready for you to plonk along with.

"Pianists Rejoice!"
5 stars"

It is here! Finally! An instrument I can play outside of the game universe. I wish I was as good at the actual guitar as I was the game guitar, but that's unlikely to happen. Fortunately; one wish I can grant myself is the knowledge that as a classical pianist; this Keytar is excellent value for money!

Try Bohemian Rhapsody on Expert Pro Keys… Now we're talking! (yes I failed, it takes practice dammit!). I'm not going to lie, it's hard, knowing the songs is only half the battle, as per the Rock Band legacy even in pro keys; everything is displayed in the weirdy guitar tab way, which I admit to having some difficulty with without practicing.

If you're looking for a good time, and something a bit different; this is it! It takes a bit of practice, and a bit of getting used to to hit some of the notes on Pro Mode, but definitely worth it… So, with that in mind… “we're putting the band back together” :)

If you can't play; don't worry there's the normal mode too, which can get quite tricksy if you turn it up to expert, but I'd really recommend this for the pro keys… And you can learn pro keys as you go, just start out on easy and work up!

A solid 5 stars for me, we're covering 2 octaves here, which is enough to have a go at most songs… Now, bring on Van Halen's Jump ;)
