Well the guitar/bass stuff is just Dance Dance Revolution with your fingers instead of your feet. It's a hand-eye coordination game that doesn't resemble playing actual instruments really at all. The drums on the other hand are great fun and quite closely emulate the act of playing real drums without having to own a huge basement in an isolated area and pay thousands of dollars. IMO its a great way to get into drums for someone who doesn't have the money or space to commit quite yet.
