I really can't describe this game. It's just too much fun not to play.
Music Quality: 84 songs right off the bat and almost all of them are simply amazing. Add the fact you can export almost all of the Rock Band 1 songs to Rock Band 2 and all of the downloaded songs from the Live Marketplace (or PS Network for the PS3) are immediately playable and you have a massive music library from the word go.
Difficulty: Ranges from Easy to almost the real thing. It depends on the song and the difficulty you choose.
Graphics: Nothing to write home about, but since this is a "Music and Rhythm" game graphics aren't a priority. Not to say they look bad though and the animations are some of the best I've seen in a while.
Fun: If you play Rock Band 2 and say you didn't have fun, there's something wrong with you. Honestly.
It's nice to see that the genre of rock is alive and well, and now you can live your music fantasy.
What's great about it: Excellent selection of music
