This is pretty good but expensive. I only play music games when I have nothing better to do. The amazing thing is the 700+ songs to download. It's very fun playing your favorite songs. I give it 4/5 stars.
My favorite rhythm game to date. Rock Band 2 itself has great tracklisting. It doesn't matter your skill level with these games, it is fun and a challenge to play.
The create-a-character design in this game is really innovative. You can create tattoos, band logos, and customize your character in original ways.
In tour mode, the challenges are fun, but do get a bit drug out. For someone who is skilled enough to play the impossible songs, it feels like a drag going through much easier songs in order to accomplish it. On the other hand, random songs aren't mashed together, and it will help increase your skill.
Altogether, this is a great game. It's well worth the money in my opinion.
PROS
Export 55/58 songs from RB1 for a small fee.
DLC Interoperability with both games.
Wealth of DLC available
Rock Band Network allows bands, music labels, etc. to make their own tracks available for Rock Band players.
CONS
Not a whole lot of people online who have DLC you've got.
This especially goes for the people dumb enough to not even have the FREE DLC. It's called the MUSIC STORE for a reason.
This game is great to play with your friends especially if you have a few beers around. This game is awful if you live in an apartment. I happen to fall under the ladder and had to give it up. Content constantly updates to keep the game fresh and the ever expanding library for a nominal fee is quite stellar.
An excellent tme waster that gives player the best 'rock star' experience avaliable. Music selection is great and the world tour mode is near flawless. If it's between this and Gutair Hero, def go with this one.
Finally a game that will make Guitar Hero bow down to them. With their idea of adding drums and vocals, 300+ downloadable tracks, Rock Band 2 is one of the top 5 party games on the market. Also to be supported by azuritereaction, GuitarHeroPhenom, IBitePrettyHard, and many more famos people. :)
This game is definitley a step up from guitar hero. This game incorporates a bunch of things, such as being able to play as a four person band. If your gonna have some friends over this is definitly one of those games that you could play. The one draw back it has is the detection of the drum kit, you'll be rockin' your face of and then you'll hit the pad and it doesn't detect the hit, by far the most annoying part of the game, but still loads of fun.
