Best Music Game

Best Music game on the market now. Guitar Hero sucks compared to this game, the graphics are more like cartoons. Plus the amount of songs you can play on Rock Band is ten times better than Guitar Hero. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing games with friends

Better than the First.

This Rock Band was a great improvements from the last one. This time the Song list is actually better, and competing with GH:WT. And The Guitar and Drums are allot better than the last, and more responsive. And the download are great, and especially with the ACDC tracks. But the visual are the same, but when it comes to the guitar visuals, and that what I like to see. So in the end this was a great installment in the series. And if your going to buy it, get the whole set.

Best music game to date

The problem I have always had with music games is not liking the songs. Many of the songs in other games were too new for my liking and were, in my opinion, horrible songs. Playing through Rock Band one was boring and tedious in the beginning because of the need to play through horrible songs. Rock Band 2 is the first music game where there are almost no songs I hate. All songs are playable and most of the songs are actually great songs. Best music soundtrack in a game ever!

More Rock Band!

The original Rock Band blew my mind. This next installment is basically more of the same game. I love the new tracks though. I loved the new drum challenge especially! My favorite song to play by far is "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters(Just try to pass this on expert I dare you". Anyways, my only complaint is that I expected more and Guitar Hero 4 is looking more innovative with the whole "create your own music" feature. Either way though, this is a no brainer for Rock Band fans!
