Rock Band 2 finally arrives on the Wii

By JERMINITIS | Review Date:
Rock Band 2 is an extraordinary game with a 'kicking' setlist. In comparison with Guitar Hero World Tour, it seems to have a wider assault of tunes. Some of the tracks are on both games, but RB2 has a wider range of musical taste.

Immediately, you can notice the ease of gameplay. The classic style of Rock Band remains, but the current graphics are superior to its predecessor. The game is laid out into various gigs that you have to encounter, either alone or in a band, to progress. As expected, the songs get more and more challenging as you progress through the game. But, you never lose that interest or desire to play even as you are challenged. And, if you do start having problems with some songs, there is now an option to where you never fail, if you so desire.

As for instruments, I have no experience with the current RB2 peripherals. Because, I'm using the Guitar Hero World Tour instruments. For that, I tip my hat to the Rock Band people for allowing everyday Wii owners to be able to play both RB2 and GHWT.

So, in this crazy gaming world, be sure to pick up Rock Band 2 and have a blast being a superstar on the stage, or at least in front of the T.V.
