Well, I got the game and a keyboard for Christmas! I haven't been able to play it much, but here's my opinion:
The new drop in/out menu system is absolutely fantastic (I'm not going to lie; I squealed the first time that I switched instruments during a song while playing with a friend) and prevents idiots from playing around on the drums and reastarting the song-selection process, and the fact that all songs (quickplay, etc) count towards career progression is absolutely amazing.
So far, most of the songs are pretty fun, and I've found a few new interesting bands to check out later.
The keyboard/keytar is actually fun to play on the standard charts, but I haven't really tried Pro Mode yet.
The ability to continue a song after failing is great for playing with mediocre friends, and the new ability to check out your scores on each individual song by difficulty within the "music library" (the tracklist in quickplay, etc) should come in handy for people who haven't worked their way up to Expert yet.
All in all, it's an amazing game and the perfection of the Rock Band formula, and I can easily recommend it.
