Green Day: Rock Band is a Rhythmaction game. Rhythm action games combine the enjoyment that comes from creating music with the challenge of video game scoring. The player is usually tasked with dancing on a mat, tapping a touch screen, pressing a button, singing into a mic or strumming a fake guitar controller in time with the music.

Green Day: Rock Band can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Green Day: Rock Band can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Green Day: Rock Band can be played in a Competitive mode. Competitive Multiplayer games provide experiences where players compete against each other and the computer. Obviously lending itself to sports and team games, these competitive engagements have also dominated the shooting and fighting genres because of the direct combat and expertise involved in each. Although these games were originally played in a split screen style, more recently they are played online via services such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and the Nintendo Wireless Connection.

Teen Gamer review Wed, 23 Jun 2010

Green Day: Rock Band adds one of rock's greatest modern bands to the musical gaming formula. With 47 tracks from the group's history including the best-selling Dookie album, this is a must for fans like me and my friends - we like our rhythm games frenetic and energetic. You'd need to appreciate Green Day to really love it, but still this is Rock Band at its greatest.

I've been a fan of Green Day for as long as I can remember and the wait for them to have a music game all to themselves seemed a ridiculous dream at times. But Rock Band has crafted a cool fan-driven experience that kept me and my friends playing for many nights in a row.
