The Rock Band Special Edition Bundle comes with a mini-drum kit, guitar, and microphone. Each player picks an instrument and an on-screen avatar, and plays along to the musical prompts (songs like "Don't Fear The Reaper" and "Gimme Shelter" are included, among 43 others). If your family band does well enough and wins the audience over, you upgrade to bigger and better venues, and go from rags to riches.
