This is a great game! As others have said, it is easy for 5 year old to play and challenging for my 9 year old (and me!). We all really enjoy it, and it certainly teaches about rhythm. Yes, there are a few songs with lyrics that are questionable, but we are concentrating so hard on playing that we haven't even noticed.

This was fun for the whole family and the adults loved it better than plain Rock Band because the songs were more familiar. A few songs contained curse words, which was surprising for a Lego product which would presumably be targeted at children. Lots of levels of difficulty make it a challenge for all ages but the "no fail" setting keeps younger players from getting frustrated. My kids enjoyed personalizing their Lego people and instruments and spending the "studs" they earned at "gigs" to buy extras as much as they did playing. If I could own only 1 version of Rock Band, this would be it!

My 6 year old boy loves it. It has a "Super Easy" mode where the kids can just strum the guitar. I chose the educational highlight because it can teach the kids rhythm and basic drums. Real instruments and music lessons are better but this is a good introduction to playing music. Since I have to musical talent it is nice "jamming" with my son even though it is with plastic instruments.
