First of all. Getting a teacher will make you improve faster than anything else.
Now,
Yes there is games like guitar hero for drums and they are awesome!
There is the basic FoFix that is just like the rockband version for drums on playstation/xbox with only 4 lanes+bassdrum. It kinda sucks because a lot of songs use more than only 4 lanes. And what happends is that your crash and snare have the same color which could result that you play your snare when it should have been a crash for example.
DTXmania is awesome though, It got 8-10 lanes.
I've stuck with the old original version with 8 lanes becaues I'm used to it but here
is a new version of the game:

there are also rudiments to practice on this application not only songs.
I think it's great if you have a electronic drum-kit to get a USB-MIDI cable for 20$ and use this game. However it's far more effective if you spend your time getting a teacher, practice rudiments, transcribe cover songs, play the cover songs with others. But this "game" is better than nothing.
Your timing and feel for the drums will improve. Your ideas of what you can do will expand as you play over hundreds of songs.
Your chops won't unless you practice the rudiments with it. Your ability to play without it won't be the same either, you will learn to rely on playing with a tool that tells you what to play every second and it's a whole process to take that to real world without that help.
In the beginning I took my laptop with me to the rehearsals and put on the game and played with it on a acoustic kit, it went fine haha but I haven't touched the game for over a year because I finally realized what I should be doing... (Rudiments, Dynamics, Coordination exercises + transcribing and read & play proper sheet music, )
