Description



Harmonix, developers of the smash hit Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises, deliver Rock Band 2, the next step to the platform that lets audiences of all ages interact with music in an all-new way. Rock Band 2 lets players vicariously jam out as some of the best guitarists, bassists, drummers and singers of all time.

Rock Band 2 delivers the most authentic and ambitious music game to date - by challenging rockers to master lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals with a polished, streamlined, and amazingly fun and challenging experience. Rock Band 2 features a track list that puts all other music games to shame with more than 80 on disc from some of the most hallowed bands of the rock pantheon.

Rock Band 2 ships with the biggest selection of epic rock songs of any music game to date - and every song is a master recording! The track list includes songs from System of a Down, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cheap Trick, Journey, Elvis Costello, The Who, and many, many more!

Features

  • The best band game on the market just got better thanks to a slate of innovative features from Harmonix, the preeminent music game studio!
  • Take your band on an online-enabled World Tour mode, record albums, tackle the addictive Set Challenges.
  • Compete against other bands, either in your living room or halfway across the world, in the Battle of the Bands mode...plus all of the modes you know and love from the first Rock Band game!
  • Innovative hardware updates! Rock Band 2 will ship with 2nd generation hardware: more durable, wireless drums with an expansion port to support cymbal pads and improved wireless Fender Stratocaster guitars.
  • Learn to play drums! Rock Band 2 pushes music simulation farther than it's ever gone with a tool that actually teaches you how to play the drums in real life - or you can just have fun jamming and playing along to songs.

Comments about Electronic Arts 1001573 Rock Band 2: Special Edition for Nintendo Wii:

Loves: Loving the songs. DLC is out and it is pricey but worth it too see favorites. Keeps me challenged. It gets harder and harder. From Float On to Visions. Just blows my mind. Everything is pricy for the full kit, but it is so worth it.

Hates: Don't you dare hate this game. If it doesn't work, just send it to a repair place.

Comments about Electronic Arts 1001573 Rock Band 2: Special Edition for Nintendo Wii:

I think this is a great item for the family to enjoy. The kids and their Dad have a lot of fun and can all participate together. One thing I wish it had was a larger variety of music rather then just Rock. Although, it is ROCKBAND. The name says it all. We are having a lot of fun!

Comments about Electronic Arts 1001573 Rock Band 2: Special Edition for Nintendo Wii:

This has been a great purchase. We have all had so much fun together. I'm not even a big gamer but I love playing this. And, it's nice that it's something the whole family has fun doing together rather than the kids being off playing by themselves. Even our 5 year old has impressed us by finding his rhythm and does pretty good on the drums which I think is great for enhancing his coordination.

All of our instruments have worked great and we are currently looking to get another guitar so that someone can play guitar and someone can play bass. The only negatives are the limited instructions and the hard to read lyrics (if you're singing). It would be nice if there were better instructions pertaining to things like the use of SD cards vs internal memory, downloading content from the music store and using it, and a few other things. Most of it can be figured out via trial and error but it would be great to be able to read some instructions and know for sure what you are doing beforehand. As for the lyrics, they are small and somewhat blurry when they are moving across the screen. Not bad on the songs where you know most of the words anyway but really difficult on songs that you need to see word for word.

Word of warning, though.....this is HIGHLY addictive. ;-)
