Rock Band 2 - Rock Band 2 for Xbox Reviews

When I first saw Rock Band 2 I wasn't sure I would be able to play, I am not musically talented at all. After I tried a few songs on easy, I was completely addicted. It's a great game for even the most novice gamer. It give you a chance to let loose, and try your hand at becoming a rock star! I would highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to have some fun, and have a good time with friends.

Rock Band 2 lets you and up to 3 friends live out your dreams of being a rock star without that pesky learning to play real instruments and getting gigs.

Rock Band 2 is the fourth game by Harmonix to use fake instruments to replicate real songs. The team behind the first two Guitar Heroes before being wooed away by MTV, their last offering was the first to introduce drums and singing to the guitar-centric theme.

This latest game works with the first rock band instruments (which had some problems with weak drum kits), as well as being offered in a special edition bundle. The songs from the...

This game is SO FUN, especially at parties. There's something for everyone - the karaoke nerds can grab the mic, the constant toe-tappers can take the drum sticks, and the bass and rhythm guitars are pretty much accessible for anyone, as long as they have some hand eye coordination and/or a reliable inner-metronome. If you're playing with others, everyone will have something to do, and if you're playing by yourself, you'll have a diverse set of options to keep you plugging away at it, trying to get better. There is a healthy variety of genres to choose from, but new songs are released to download...

Rock Band 2 is a really fantastic game.  You can sing, you can play drums, you can play guitar.  It has it all.  The song list is also one of the best so far for this type of game.  There is enough variety so that everyone should at least know a few of the songs.  The instruments available are also excellent.  There is a choice of table top or stand alone drumsets so even if you don't have a lot of room, you can still get the tabletop drum set and rock out.  The buttons on the guitar are nicely spaced.  I don't have large hands and the buttons are close enough together so that they can...

Rock Band 2 is an awesome game. It isn't an epic quest game or especially inspired. It plays on the same formula established by Guitar Hero. This game isn't unique in this aspect and isn't revolutionary. What it is, is a perfection of the formula. It can be played at any skill level, from beginner to expert, and has a wide selection of modern tunes and classic favorites to choose from. The game offers a good amount of instruments for play (bass and electric guitar, drums, and microphone) and they are all simple to understand, do not require hard button presses, and are reliable. The old Guitar...

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...

While more of a performance tweak than an actual sequel, Rock Band 2 is still the best music game on the market today. The game comes with over 80 songs on disk and 20 free songs with a special code in the instruction booklet. The game is also compatible with nearly all songs from the original Rock Band with the purchase of a minimal licensing fee. New songs are made available for download each week. The song selection is widely varied spanning multiple genres from country to black metal. To date there are ovr 700 songs available for download. Unfortunately, at $2 a pop downloading all the songs...

What can I say about Rock Band 2? It is one of the most popular franchise games out there and the never ending list of downloadable tracks keeps growing and growing every week. You can bang it out on drums, shred it on guitar or scream your lungs out on vocals with their own specially made plastic intrusments. The game itself has a huge World Tour mode, which lets one to four people play out their biggest fantasy in a rock and roll band spanding all across the globe in a battle to become a Rolling Stones Rock Immortal. Outside of the world tour mode is a sprawling online play, which lets people...

  This game is so cool, my name is Kelly and I never dreamed they would come out with somethin like this. In the game Rock Band to you get to play some of your favorite songs by guitar drums and other instruments. This game is a teaching tool even though the instrument aren't actual instruments the game give kid and adult the real drive to actually try and learn how to play a real instrument. I do have the game Rock Band and the first time I played it we having a playing comperitition over sum drinks wit sum friends. This game was made for kids and believe me I'm 25 none of my friend are kids....

Rock Band 2 is the S**T!! I adore this game... I don't personally own it, but I would love to own it myself!! Right now I just have Guitar Hero for playstation 2, but it is good practice for Rock Band ! Needless to say, I have a tendency to pick up the guitar when I play rock band with my friends, I have a great time with the drums also, but I get embarrassed when it comes to holdin the mic!! Its just a blast tho. getting together with friends havin a few cold beers and pizza, while gettin down on some rock band. Its a trip dude! So much fun... We bond and make friends with people we don't even...

We love to play this game, but wish there were more songs on it to choose from.  Its not fun to play a song you have never heard of.  I was surprised by the small  choice of downloadable songs also.  But otherwise, it is a lot of fun.  I also wish there were a way to make the words for singing larger, they can be hard to see, even on our tv which is fairly big.
