Great game

I purchased Rock Band 2 for PS3 for my son and his wife. My son purchased an additional guitar, and with our other infantren soon had a rock band with four parts: drummer, bass, guitar, and vocals. Out of the box, the song list includes titles that the younger generation (14 - 24 yr. olds) enjoys as well as songs that their 45-yr. old parents remembered from years ago. My son was also able to import the songs from the older version of Rock Band. The ability to import these songs was a consideration in selecting Rock Band 2 over Guitar Hero World Tour. Ordering the game through Amazon made it easy to have it delivered (free!) to my son's apartment several states away.

A GREAT SOCIAL GAME

I bought this game a few months ago, just after the release of Guitar Hero World Tour. I wanted to wait for the two to be out in order to buy the better game. I decided to go with rock band 2 after reading more favorable reviews. Let me summarize my review with: If you are a person that enjoys rock music, you should definitely get this. This game is incredibly fun to play with friends, and also very fun to play with alone. It also gives you the option to rock out online, which is a also tremendously fun. The instruments are also great, and the new drums are wireless and noticeably better quality than rock band 1's drums. The guitar is better than the original rock band, but I still think that guitar hero's guitars are much better. The drums make much less sound than rock band 1's drums which is wonderful because you will not get distracted if the drummer sucks and is going at a different rythm.
I recently bought guitar hero world tour as well, just the game, and I would just like to point out that it is also a very good game, but I still believe that rock band 2 is better. I bought only the game (not the instruments) since the instruments are compatible (not sure if rock band 1's instruments are compatible, but rock band 2's are).
Overall, I would definitely recommend this game because it is a great party game for anyone, men and women, girls and boys. The music list is awesome and you can always buy more songs online.

Best Game Ever!!

I bought this as a family Christmas gift for my 4 infantren and we absolutely love it. I love the no fail level which allows my younger kids to play without the plug being pulled to give them the effect of actually playing in a band. The strum on the guitar is a little off the timer click at times, but no big deal. The different levels are very challenging and its fun for the whole family no matter what the ages. We are actually having a lot more visitors come to the house in order to sing a few chorus', and I thought they were just dropping by to see how we were doing, lol.
