This looks really fun. I wonder how it will work when only one person is playing…

I believe it’s called Guitar Hero mode But seriously, in single player you can play as the guitar, drums or vocals, the other instruments will be played by computer players.

Also, if you only want one or two players instead of three, then you can buy just the game and the peripherals you want separately, so you don’t have to spend the full $200.
