Title: Rock band 2
Post by: Rev Rabies on July 03, 2008, 01:54:26 PM
Harmonix has announced the sequal to rock band, and a few things got my interest

Any DLC from rock band 1 will be playable on rock band 2, and vice-versa

and here's the new guitar

Why do you say that? As long as they don't rush the game, they'll be fine.

Nah it won't be like Guitar Hero. Don't be so cynical, amigo.  :)

That new guitar is spiffy! I like it!

I would assume so... I mean, he did say "everything else."

PS3, Wii, and 360 for sure. I'm not sure on whether or not it's coming out for the PS2, but I hope so.

Not that, you know, I'll be getting it for my (non-existant) PS2, since I have no room for the instruments in my room, and it's boring to play alone.

Haven't they learned that the first rock band sucked on the Wii? Or so I've been told.

Ha, the Wii version of Rock Band is a joke, plain and simple. The only advantage it had over any of the other versions was a slightly better drum set. Other than that, it's just the PS2 version with five more songs.

The Wii sucks. Haha, sorry to say that, but most of the games are like... really bad on that console. Okami comes to mind, along with Guitar Hero (though 3 just plain sucked).

I've only played Rock Band for the 360, though-the worst problem is when someone hits the home button on the drums.

I agree... the Wii sucks.

Someday, I'm going to write up a whole long rant about why the Wii sucks and why it should be avoided.

I just remembered... I got to play Rock Band at GameCrazy the other night. It was the 360 version, and even though it was my first time playing any "Guitar Hero"-type game, I did pretty well on the guitar. That is, until my sister decided to stop drumming and got us booed of the stage.

I don't have a problem with the wii. They just dont have very many good games out for it... I mean, there are the bigs, brawl, and twilight princess. bout it though.

I'll have to seriously think about getting rock band to for the xbox though.

From what I've heard, Rock Band on the 360 is the best experience you can get. Do your research before you make a decision about buying it, though... $170 is a bit steep for a game.

The strummer on the Rock Band guitar controller is pretty bad, though. Functional, but it feels awful.
