Title
Green Day Rock Band is exactly what it says on the tin. It's Rock Band but you only play Green Day songs as the band members. There are 47 songs in total which is a decent amount but is eclipsed by similar games like Guitar Hero 5 which has 85. Dookie and American Idiot are here in their entirety, and 21st Century Breakdown can be completed with downloadable content. Sadly, there are only 7 songs from the rest of the discography which is a shame because overall it doesn't represent Green Day's career very well and is biassed towards their newer material.

When you compare the albums, the older songs are much faster and technical, so a lot of the songs seem a bit easy. All the songs are unlocked to begin with, so you can play the modern songs first and then explore the older songs for the harder challenge.

Annoyingly, the vocal career can only be played with a microphone rather than a Live Headset, and given that Song of the Century is vocals only; there are a few achievements that cannot be done without it.

Completing the songs and achieving the higher star ratings rewards you with unlockables that include challenges, videos, and images. The challenges are usually set of 3 songs but there are also ones to play the entire albums from start to finish.

Since it only consists of Green Day songs, fans will quickly snap it up, and non fans will probably overlook it. However, I've enjoyed playing Guitar Hero Van Halen when I only knew 2 songs, so it's at least worth renting for fans of Rock Band.

Title
So if you made a game based on the Beatles and you were asked to consider your next band to make a game around, who would you think of? Led Zeppelin? Pink Floyd? Maybe somewhere on the outside, Jimi Hendrix? Apparently not!

Such a comparison may seem unfair, and Green Day does have the export factor on their side, but it really does feel like a step down in just about every regard. Tre Cool is a respected drummer and Green Day's early work has featured a few celebrated bass lines, but barring that, these are not respected compositions on the same level as Abbey Road, and so much of it is just so repetitive that the game becomes a drag. Even the presentation is a bit naff, with some cool behind the scenes promos but only three venues that fail to meaningfully showcase their evolution as a band. With the ability to export from the disc gone and only piecemeal DLC options available for every other game, it only comes recommended to GD fans.
