Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the original Rock Band and really looked forward to the release of Rock Band 2. The changes to gameplay are just what the doctor ordered. You can play world tour by yourself on any instrument, change instruments, play world tour with friends online, and the horrid band leader problem has been removed. There IS no band leader. A "5" for all of that, Harmonix hit the nail right on the head. The music...there are some real gems in this version, no doubt about it. But quite honestly, a lot of the music just plain stinks. Unimaginative, generic stuff that any garage band could write (and maybe a lot of garage bands did write it). I played for about 3 hours last night and there were long stretches when I felt like I was hearing the same song over and over...I was so bored with a lot of it that it just blurred together. Now this is coming from someone who is as open-minded with music as anyone you'll ever meet. I might start out listening to Radiohead, switch to Patsy Cline, then Jay-Z, then Black Sabbath, and finish up with Beethoven. I love all kinds of music but most of the music here just doesn't cut it for me. I'll keep playing and maybe it will grow on me. I'll update if that's the case. But, for true enjoyment it's going to have to be make your own setlist gigs or just quickplay with the good nuggets and your favorite DLC.

All I have to say is that I am happy to see songs that are more fun to play than the first RockBand. Chop Suey, Livin on a Prayer, Give It Away are some of my favorites, not just for the fact that they are great songs but also fun to play with groups. Gameplay is great, in single player mode, you can play any instrument at any difficulty and not just play one song, move to the next, and repeat. Fun for anyone who enjoyed the first one.

GREAT GAME. LOVE PLAYING IT BY MYSELF AND WITH FRIENDS. SETLIST IS GREAT AND IT STICKS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL ROCKBAND IN TERMS OF HOW THE GAME WORKS. EVERYTHIGN THAT WAS CUSTOMIZABLE BEFORE, IS EVEN MORE CUSTOMIZABLE NOW. GREAT GAME AND AWESOME NEW EQUIPMENT.

Rock Band 2 is one of the best music games out there for sure. This is the BEST party game out there for sure, because whether you are good at this or not, your going to have a great time with a group of friends who just want to goof around.

This is a good game, the graphics are awesome and the songs are good, the down side though is that this is practically RB1 with different songs, same default characters, same customization options, etc. it's a good game other wise and worth the price

This game is an absolute blast. The songs seem to be getting better and better, and the solo tour mode has vastly approved. It's a great game that you and your friends will have a ton of fun playing.

Rockband 2 rocks. Adding tons of new tracks & more multiplayer features was a much needed addition. Due to lyrics it's not "family friendly," but the songs are quality.

Rock Band 2 is much better than the original. It fixes the problems with the first Rock Band game and added much more. Definitely give this a try!

Rock band 2 is a great game, and improves upon the original. A great family game, and really wastes time, which is good for me :)

playing this game is fun no doubt but to be honest the songs are pretty much from mostly unheard bands if you gonna call a game rockband at least toss in a few real rock bands such as def leppard loverboy poison maybe some new wave bands say split endz the cure real life you get the idea being older these are types of groups id preferr some songs that are good are from dlc so that cost a fortune just to dl those hopefully if theres a rockband 3 they will improve the song list prior to have to buy them via dlc

My only issue is the price of new songs is a little high, but I am pretty cheap.

every1 in the USA germany canada and every place in the world. a must get game.

I like the new addition. The tour mode is a lot more in depth than Rockband 1.

This game is so much fun and is awesome for party entertainment.

another great guitar game. fun fun fun not much else to say

The disc Rocks, and the song list is long and FULL of everyone's Hits! It's an asset to any collection of GH Games.

This was on my wife's Christmas wishlist, She was happy

Overall its a good family game, or if you want to just play with your freinds. The graphics could be some what better. The difficulty is challenging enough for the people who play alot and who have mastered most of the songs. They could use some better songs.
