  • Rock Band 2 is filled with little touches that make it vastly superior to the original, and no matter what your skill level or history with Rock Band, this game has a way for you to play and enjoy yourself. (The game even offers a "No Fail" option for ...

  • Abstract:  It seems like just yesterday that I wrote my review of the original Rock Band. In fact, it was actually less than a year ago. Since then, gamers (myself included) have clocked hours of plastic-instrument rocking, spent countless dollars on the game's ...

  • Online and solo support for World Tour; tons of new music; fun Battle of the Bands mode.
  • Navigating menus can still be pretty awkward.
  • Technically, the latest game out of Harmonix and MTV Games shouldnt be called Rock Band 2. The more appropriate title would be Rock Band v2.0, as its more like a massive content patch than a true sequel. But in this case, thats fine with us: with a ...

  • Abstract:  Last year's Rock Band was unquestionably one of the biggest titles to hit the music/rhythm genre in a long time. It took the basic idea behind blockbuster hits like SingStar and Guitar Hero, added a drum kit, and gave music fans the world over a way t...

  • Abstract:  Rock Band was never just a game-it was a bona fide phenomenon. It changed the way we looked at, listened to, and played music in a video game environment and now that revolutionary experience is back and better than ever with Harmonix's highly anticipa...

  • Abstract:  Harmonix launched music games into a whole new arena with the release of Rock Band last year. No longer did music games have to be about just playing the drums or the guitar or singing. All three elements were merged together into a cohesive and thorou...

  • Abstract:  Rock n roll. Its cool, yknow? Very cool. Little surprise then that to show-off Rock Band 2, we didnt find ourselves journeying into the depths of a corporate EA booth, but rather entering the chilled out mecca that was MTVs area at this years E3 ...

  • Abstract:  The improvements are mostly minor, but scores of master recordings, a new Battle of the Bands mode, and tweaked instruments make this a worthy encore to Harmonixs popular rock sim.Billy Joel once lamented that "videos destroyed the vitality of rock a...

  • Customisation, Challenges, it rocks
  • Might annoy your neighbours when you crank the volume up to 11
  • It’s more Rock Band and that is not a bad thing at all. With a new setlist of songs and more features, it’s a no-brainer for anyone who loved the first Rock Band. ...
