"I find singing in this game is WAY harder than any other singing game. I can't 100% any section of any song in Guitar Hero, but when I sing Our Truth by Lacuna Coil on Rock Band 2, I can 100% the entire song on Hard difficulty, but get a pathetic 72% on Guitar Hero. This makes it very frustrating and makes me want to quit. Also star power is released by pressing A on the controller (there might be another way but I haven't found it yet), so that means if I play an instrument and sing at the same time I won't be able to use star power. And the worst part about singing is the freestyle section: it totally ruins the song. This game just pales in comparison to Rock Band. I definitely don't recommend this game at all."
