It's like Rock Band... only better.

The rumors are true, Rock Band 2 is remarkably similar to it's older counterpart. If you were expecting something different... well, there's no reason you should have been expecting something different. When a company makes the greatest rythym game ever, they don't really need to veer too far off the track. Gameplay was never broken, so there was no need to fix it. Create-a-character was fine, so take the same stuff, add to it, I couldn't be happier. Now here's what makes this game head and shoulders above the previous entry, it's almost completely geared toward multi player. I was playing it with my wife all day, and she asked me if I liked playing (the game) with her or if I liked playing (the game) with myself better. Well, we had been playing for several hours, and I answered honestly, I liked playing the first one myself more because it was easier to unlock things and get (most of) the achievements myself, so the multi player was just kind of an extra thing. This one band mates can drop in and out whenever, and the whole thing unfolds the same way. It's exactly what a "party game" should be. And with my RB songs now on my hard drive, I see no reason to ever put the first disc in again.
