Guitar parts are easier than in Guitar Hero.

Singing is wonky, it's not hard, it will just take some time to get used to.

On another note, I liked GHII more than GHIII, so I had higher expectations for Harmonix/MTV with Rock Band. I also liked Harmonix more because Freezepop (a band) is composed of Harmonix members, which is kind of cool. They've pretty much reached my expectations, but I keep hearing all this crap about instruments breaking. Thankfully, mine haven't so far at all - I'm pretty lucky in this regard, never had the red ring of death on my XBox 360 and didn't have a broken whammy bar in the GHII X-Plorer controller - but that would be my only complaint for this game. Harmonix should just reunite with RedOctane again.
