I find it funny that they take out most of what makes the game but keep the price the same.

they should drop the price $10 for each feature that is missing.

Truth be told, the omission of online play isn't that big a deal; I haven't even played online because playing with your real-life friends is so much better.

The omission of DLC makes sense to me; 4-5 songs and the Wii's internal storage would be filled up completely. Even throwing the songs on an SD card might not be acceptable to Nintendo; no other game allows loading from the SD card does it? Still sucks though. DLC is one of the reasons Tuesday is so much fun!

There's really no excuse for the lack of the other features though.

Should've bought a real console. D'oh! Did I just say that out loud!

Really I don't see how this is Harmonix fault. They gotta match the game to the box it plays on.

In before fido

I can live without DLC or online play, but the lack of character creation is absolutely mind-boggling.  Their giving Wii owners the PS2 version of the game for the PS3/360 price, 6 months late, which is just a rip-off.

Lazy, smurfy, half-assed port with a number of inexplicable and inexcusable omissions. I would have been first in line to buy a real version of Rock Band for the Wii, but in this case I have better things to spend my $170 on. Like three and a half other Wii games.
