Video Game Reviews of Rock Band 2
Customer Review: Great Game but a Little Rough Around the Edges
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this game in order to expand my musical horizons. I'm not a fan of modern rock music, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to expose myself to it more. I can't complain too much about the songs included on the game; they are all, for the most part, nice to play and not terrible to listen to. I was a little disappointed at how rough the interface seemed, especially in comparison to The Beatles: Rock Band. In particular, the notes seemed a little lower in definition. It doesn't hurt the game, but it's less aesthetic for my tastes. As far as customization, I really like how there are several options for your instrument. I generally play bass, so I was glad to see that their bass selection was more than ample to satisfy my desires. I haven't played online, but I imagine it's probably not too different from The Beatles: Rock Band in that if you know and like the songs it's a very enjoyable social experience. Other than the graphics being a little rough, I don't have any real complaints about this game.Customer Review: Music Gaming Masterpiece

Just for reference I have the 360 version of Rock Band 2. I must say they is easily the best music/rhythm ever made. Period. I would also says its one of the best games ever. It took the great features of the original (full band play, weekly DLC, great charts, etc.) And tweaked them slighty to make the near perfect RB1 completely flawless! The 84-song-setlist on this game is IMO the setlist of any Guitar Hero or Rock Band game and don't forget about the 20 free songs you get just for buying the game! Along with WEEKLY DLC (epic winsauce), RB1 exportability, and Rock Band Network coming this fall (Google it) there is a nearly endless amount of playable tracks in the game, all with great charts provided by Harmonix (expect for RBN of course). This game is perfect and you should buy it, enough said. Customer Review: Stick with Rockband 1, There are technical difficulties here with part 2..

What chaifs my hiney is that the strumming on Rockband 2 has to be way way way more precise then rockband 1. I have songs on Rockband 1 that I downloaded that have hard alternating strumming that I can get a 97%+ on expert every single time and when I play the same songs on Rockband 2 I am lucky if I can get an 85% WTF is up with that?Customer Review: Rockband2

I have played a lot of music games, including Guitar Hero World Tour and I must say: Rockband2 impressed me.
I am a musician; I actually feel like I am a part of an experience that encompasses my senses. I may not smell the notes, but everything else is enhanced by this game.
There is a continuity to the AI that is not equalled in the game.
GHWT has great NPC graphics,they spent the money making Ozzy a blast to be, (who doesn't get a kick out of ALL Aboard! Ha HA HA, from Crazy Train),but in RB2, you are the star. You make the choices how and why you tour and what focus you have in career challenges. It actually gives you a small glimpse into the things real bands go through. It is not all glamourous parties and night-life: The van breaaking down sucks!
Just my 2 copper worth. :)
Customer Review: Torn between two loves...

Gah! I love both Rock Band2 and Guitar Hero, but I gotta admit Rock Band has more fun songs. Most songs are pretty easy and fun to play along to. I was surprised at how many of the songs are focused on the singer, tho. A couple of the bass guitar or lead guitar parts could get a little boring, but drums and singer parts are fun!
So, if you can do Dragonforce songs on expert you should get that other game, cause it's more challenging. If you want more popular songs, or have young'ns who are just starting up, or are just starting up yourself, get Rock Band 2! (Once you get good you can just buy the disk for the other one to compare.)
