    • rock band 2
      This is great!! My son enjoys it tremendously, when he finishes his homework, if the weather isn’t cooperating for basketball-then he’s drumming away with rock band!!

    • Fantastic
      Okay, I never played the original “Guitar Hero” that started this whole guitar peripheral band game thing. But I played the second at friends’ houses and borrowed it once. Thought it was pretty great and lots of fun. But the first I owned was Rock Band with Guitar Hero 3. And Rock Band really did it for me. The blaring colors of Guitar Hero were replaced by mellower tones that focused more on the music. And rather than generic rockers you could make your own guy, which I had fun with. What finally got me to quit playing it so much was… I started to run out of songs. I still had some favorites I’d play: Welcome Home, Reptilia, The Hand That Feeds, Afterlife (downloaded), Black Hole Sun. But other than that there wasn’t much left to do. Other than go through on the drums (boring) or five-star everything on Expert (not interested).

      And then here’s Rock Band 2. Basically it’s the same thing, but without any of the problems from the first one. There’s new songs and quite a lot of them. You can make all the characters in your band and play through tour mode with a single player. Some album information is even given when selecting songs from the list. And it’s still the same great fake guitar playing I loved.

      But what really clinched Rock Band for me (and the Guitar Hero games as well) was that it opened up to me so much music… So many artists that I’d heard of or had heard a few seconds’ worth of songs from, but ones I never could give a chance. A lot of good music is represented here, forcing me to expand my horizons and really get into some stuff I should have liked already.

      To sum it up, if you liked the original Rock Band or any of the Guitar Hero games, this is a given. If you’re new to the franchises, this is a fine place to start.

      (But you may want to use a Guitar Hero controller if possible. The puff of the strummer on the Rock Band model doesn’t have a very good return spring, so you kind of have to hammer it on those faster songs. The Guitar Hero controller has a more noticeable click and a fast response so I prefer it. Some people may think differently, however.)

    • More fun than GH
      I got this game to join together with family and friends to have long distance party gaming experience. IMHO it is more fun than GH. It seems to be a little more forgiving and we have been rocking out having loads of fun! I like that we can download more music and have a good variety to choose from.

    • Great Game
      Great game! Thought it would be a lot like the first, and it is. However there is a lot more variety to the things you can do, and the game gets you into the action faster. Awesome party game, can never go wrong with a little Rockband.
