Great addition to music game genre
Pros: -Awesome selection of songs -Auto callibrates based on TV -Large variety of songs Cons: -Some of the songs are from previous -hit box is very small and feels a little weird -only 4 drum pads (although I heard you can have more if you buy the right accessories) Overall, great game. The only complaint I have with this game is it's not aesthetically made as the guitar series are and that the play is still the same whereas Guitar Hero made a few changes (like you hold down a few notes at a time while playing different notes at the same time).

Big Upgrade
Nice step up from Rock Band 1. I was debating between this one and GH4 and this one definitely beats it out. It has downloadable content every week and has plenty of songs to play from. Also u can upload songs from Rock Band 1 to Rock Band 2 so u don't have to switch discs if you ever want to play a song from RB1. Great game!

Very fun game
This game is fun, good clean fun. My friends and I love to play this and the online library is pretty extensive. If you have anymore than 4 people to play though it gets boring fast for those not playing. Plus the music is like $2 per song to buy it off the online music library. Kind of a ripoff IMO as it's only used on the game. It's not like you can store it on your computer or anything. The graphics aren't anything to get excited about. You're concentrating on the notes anyway so you don't have time to look around. The rocker design is fun too. It can get pretty detailed and you can see the changes you make to your guy when you are playing. The drums are a little small for a grown man so that can get uncomfortable as that is my fav instrument to play. But all in all, a great experience.

better than expected
The user interface is greatly improved over the original especially the abilitly to change instruments without having to exit out of the tour. Its great to be able to do the tour mode without having to have another person or play 2 instruments at the same time. The song selection has been greatly improved especially being able to play dlc and exporting songs from the first game. The only problem I have is with the Guitar Hero drums not being compatible yet. I would have bought the special edition but I didnt think the drums were really improved enough to constitute having a third drum set. This game is totally worth the money.

Better than the other "guitar" game...
Great music game. I owned both this and the Guitar Hero games. Rock Band is by far the better game in my opinion. Better music, controls, and gameplay.
