This is the best music game you will play for the next 2 years. Harmonix has created an addictive experience that is great for parties and people who just like to rock out. The track list is really varied and has a lot for everyone of all ages to enjoy.
A great new feature is that your created characters can now play any instrument. So you're no longer stuck playing drums ONLY if you created your character on the drums! And in the refined tour mode, you can have your created characters stand in on the other instruments when you are playing solo or without the full band.
Add in the downloadable content and the AC/DC track pack that is coming out later this year and you have a great music game that is even better than the first. The refinement and fun factor that Rock Band 2 brings to the series makes it a must own.
What's great about it: Great track list, good difficulty balance, can import songs from RB1, characters can play any instrument
