5 Stars For those who press start, we salute you!
This game is AWSOME! The guitar playing is actually smoother than Guitar Hero, the DLC alone is a LOT better too. My only complaint is the create-a-player isn’t as deep, I would’ve loved to make a Ranma Saotome just to say ‘I jammed with Ranma!’ Yeah, I’m an otaku.
Anyway, great game, great music, great DLC, great overall.
4 Stars Great family fun!
We love this.
We had Guitar Hero World Tour but it just wasn’t as much fun.
The drums were way too hard. None of us could do them well.
This works with the same instruments – guitar, microphone, bass; but the drums are not the same layout. Got a set of wireless Rock Band drums and they work great.
We have a lot of fun playing this a family and the kids’ friends love it too!
4 Stars A Wonderful Improvment over the Series… Especially for the Wii
The original Rock Band for Wii came as somewhat of a disappointment for music game lovers. You could rock out with friends yes, but the lack of the other fun options that set Rock Band apart from Guitar Hero (custom character creation being the most obvious deletion) brought down the game. Rock Band 2 is exactly the same on Wii as it is on any other system, custom character creation and all included. It is so awesome to see a character that you created come to life on stage. All of your old equipment will work on this game (All of the Guitar Hero guitars released for the Wii work with Rock Band 2 as well.) My only real complaints with RB2 is that some of the songs are just not a lot of fun to play and are WAY too long to be enjoyable (Teen Age Riot by Sonic Youth and Everlong by The Foo Fighters are a few examples.) However, the sheer number of songs that are available on the disc and the number that you can download (some of which are free) make Rock Band 2 a must play if you enjoy music games.
5 Stars Rock Band 2
Got my nephews Rock Band this is a great additon to give them move songs to play.
5 Stars Rockband 2
This game is so much fun!I rock really hard on medium. I think a lot of people play this game. Sometimes people ‘nod’ at me and I think it’s like a secret ‘I play RB2, too’ kind of nod.
