Rock Band 2 - Rock Band 2 for Xbox Review

Rock Band 2 is a great social game. It's perfect for when you're having a party or just hanging out with friends. There is an in-depth training mode that is really helpful if you've never played Rock Band before. It tells you how to play each instrument and guides you through step by step. I played the first 3 Guitar Hero games before getting RB 2, and it isn't difficult to adjust. GH: World Tour peripherals are actually compatible with Rock Band 2, so don't bother getting two sets of instruments for both games! There is a wide assortment of music from indie rock to heavy metal and the selections spans across a few different decades as well.

When you're just starting out, the songs can get repetitive, and you might have trouble finding 4 people to play with. The easiest way to find more people is by going online, Once you get enough stars and fans to unlock more cities and venues, it'll pick up the pace.

If you've never played a rhythm game before but would like to try one, get Rock Band 2!
