Rockband 2 is amazing. If you thought the first one rocked your socks, your in for a treat. Rockband 2 has 84 mindblowing songs that keep you entertained time and time again. I cannot stop playing. It is addictive. I love that rockband 2 has a single tour mode that can consists of more than one player, a mix of local and online players.The extras menu you allows gamers to play in no "No fail" or "Break Speed" mode. There are so many new and exciting features to this game. I cant divulge into all the details, so the only way to get the full experience is to buy the game. And since your here reading this review, buy it online at best buy. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.
What's great about it: Everything is great..
What's not so great: Llike I said everything is great, you cannot go wrong when buying this game.
I would recommend this to a friend!

this game is amazing. i dont know how to explain it. songs are great, gameplay is amazing. i just wish there was more fallout boy... hahaa.. personally id rate this way better than guitar hero, along with the fact that they totally bit off of rockband... gg.
What's great about it: great gameplay, frets are easy to slide along.
What's not so great: drums do take a pounding...

Rock Band 2 blows the 1st one away. The Songs are a lot better and the difficulty is a lot harder. Me and my roommates play it when ever we can. The only downside is that the song choices aren't the greatest but better then the first. By this I mean I wish that there were more common songs that the average person will know. Understand that it is "Rock" band but there are a lot of heavy metal rock songs. Maybe they could have converted some hip hop songs and just get some more common songs.. All in all, it is GREAT AND WORTH THE BUY!
What's great about it: The replay value is awesome, great for parties
What's not so great: Song choices could be better

I have been a long time Guitar Hero (GH) player. And after playing Rock Band 1 a few months ago, I found it fun but hard to strum the notes as easily as I can with GH.
Recently I was playing the new Rock Band 2 (RB2) guitar at my local electronics store and fell in love with the wood burst body and wood paneled neck. So I placed my pre-order and received it today....
I am in love. I love the sturdy and non-clicky strum bar (I HATED the "click-click" sound of the GH strum). The frets give off some noise but not that bad. They feel good but are harder to keep your place as easily as GH. The feel of the guitar is nice and feels like quality in your lap or hanging from your shoulder. The nice sleek lines of the guitar is even nicer to look at when you're not playing. The whammy is nearly identical to the whammy bar of GH but a bit longer. The start button is nicely recessed and the PS3 button and connect button are nicely designed.
I was really relieved to see that the standalone RB2 guitar is in fact the wood burst body design and NOT the black RB2 guitar that is included in the RB2 bundle. I am extremely pleased and I have officially crossed over from GH to RB. The guitar looks like a real Fender Strat and after owning this guitar, GH guitars look like cheap 5-year old toys.

The user interface is greatly improved over the original especially the abilitly to change instruments without having to exit out of the tour. Its great to be able to do the tour mode without having to have another person or play 2 instruments at the same time. The song selection has been greatly improved especially being able to play dlc and exporting songs from the first game. The only problem I have is with the Guitar Hero drums not being compatible yet. I would have bought the special edition but I didnt think the drums were really improved enough to constitute having a third drum set. This game is totally worth the money.
What's great about it: the user interface, the exportation of rock band 1 songs, the dlc
What's not so great: guitar hero world tour drums not compatible (yet)

RB 2 is every bit as good as RB 1 except more/better songs and options like "no fail mode" for when you have players who may not be so skilled at a certain instrument. It is the PERFECT party game and when we have get-togethers, it always ends up being the main attraction. For $5, you can even bring over all the songs from RB 1 plus all the ones that you had previoulsy downloaded for one mean song collection. Songs like Duran Duran - "Hungry Like the Wolf," Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," and Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy," are just a few of the new tunes you can rock out to.
Overall, VERY much our favorite game in the house!
What's great about it: songs, graphics, user interface
What's not so great: none

What's great about it: Great Music, Fun to play
What's not so great: none

I have owned the original RB game since it was released. I LOVE IT. The second is even better. More songs, PLUS you can import all but 3 of the original songs from the RB 1 disk to be played in RB 2. The online play is MUCH better, the world tour is fantastic, however a little more thought in the game to make the songs change from venue to venue would have been better. You will find yourself often times playing the same songs over and over again in different venues. Especially on the random set lists. I am almost tired of Green Grass and High Tides.
Other then that the game is fantastic, A far cry BETTER then the Guitar Hero world tour game. As well as the option to buy the cymbal packs to add on to the RB 2 drum set is REALLY NICE. make game play a little more "real."
What's great about it: TONS of new songs
What's not so great: the calibration set is a bit odd.
