Although it changes slightly from it's previous sequel, it is an excellent package for newcomers.

User Rating: 9.5 | Rock Band 2 X360
People may think that Rock Band 1 and Rock Band 2 are similar, and yes that is true, but.. the instruments actually made some improvements like the guitar and drums. The drums were now wireless, so now you wouldn't have to worry about tripping over them. The songs in the game were good but could've added some songs that are more enjoyable to listen and to play on. As we all know there will be over 500 songs to play over, so that'll be tons of replay value for it to offer. As long as I have 100 songs, I'm good , but this has exceeded the limit, and pleased me even more. The price is a bit over the range but that's fine as long as I have tons of fun with my friends. There are some new modes that they offered in Rock Band 2, which included Battle of the Bands mode, Drum Trainer, and more. So.. the only bad things in this game would be (no big change) and the setlist could've been slightly better. But overall Rock Band 2 is better than it's predessor, and is recommended for people who loves to play with their friends.
