My sister got Rock Band for her Wii today, after having tons of fun playing it on the XBox 360. She’d bought the Wii largely because she wanted Rock Band for it. Imagine her disappointment when the Wii version of the game came out with key features (custom characters, custom world tour, etc.) missing.
Others might say that she should have done research – but this is a consumer item, which carries the same name as a game people have seen and fallen in love with on other systems. Most reasonable people aren’t about to research the game they’re buying to see if it has all the features that they’re looking for – if they’ve played it on one system, why would it play THAT differently on another?
What Harmonix shipped is not the same game, and I think it’s deceptive to pass off such a weak effort as the same thing.
