Best game for xbox 360 hands down

This is by far the best game I own currently. I'm a drummer in real life (I even own my own drumset) and this game adds to everything I loved from Rock band 1. If you even sorta liked rockband 1 - this game you will love. Not only does it add 104 or so songs to your library but you can transfer almost all (all but 3) of your rockband 1 songs over for a small fee as well. Plus EVERY aspect of the game is improved. The songs alone are worth the sticker price. I could go on and on and on - but in short - if you're even thinking about it - GET IT!!! It's worth it.

Improved Options

They simply made it more enjoyable. The Online Challenges encourage new music and practice, which have forced me to re-invent my approach to playing the game. Plus, they did it right. Allowing backwards compatability was the ultimate and the small fee for ripping old tracks was a brilliant ploy to get me to buy the 120GB drive.

This game rules !

The fact that you can play all the songs on rock band 1 on rock band 2 is amazing! thats why guitar hero is not doin to well in my book. If you have the first rock band, then this game is a must have because you dont have to buy new plastic instruments to play it! It has really good music on it too.

Rock on, Rock Band!

Here is the story: Rock Band 2 is an update to the Rock Band formula. That doesn't make it any less fun, it just compromises how revolutionary it could be.
The game is based heavily in Guitar Hero and Karaoke Revolution mechanics, adding the (very fun!) drum peripheral and a consistent way to play bass.
Noticeable new features: There are 84 new master recordings, a new mixed bag of clothing available (Thrift Threads), a networked "Battle of the Bands" set of challenges that update regularly, and solo players can either do "challenges" to advance through songs, or play the tour outright. Groups can also do the challenges and the tour. Also, any of the peripherals will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Is it worth it? For new buyers, absolutely pick up Rock Band 2 first. For as low as $10 ($5 to rent Rock band 1 and $5 to import the songs), you can add the full collection of Rock Band 1 songs to Rock Band 2. The new features make the package feel more complete and more inviting to groups of one or two without compromising the party factor. And the song selection is certainly acceptable, while not legendary. (No Ozzy?)
Also, the Downloadable Content selection, I feel, gives more strength to the game than the Guitar Hero Series.
The downs: It's still the same game you played a year ago with Rock Band 1. Peripherals get expensive and addictive: you WILL want that Bass Guitar, especially if you only have one guitar, and the RB2 drum set will have cymbal upgrades; that's just a small bit. There's Guitar Hero World Tour, which might have a better setlist for you. You might want to review the song list in the game to decide if you'll like playing these songs -- if you don't like most of them, you probably won't get into the game.

The fun of Rock Band is having fun by getting the chance to perform like a rock star at any age and ability. If you want to live out rock star dreams on your XBOX, this is the way to go. This is a prime cut. If music/rhythm gameplay isn't your thing, you might be better off renting first.

fun game for teens and up

it's a fun game for people who like to be in a band, but don't have the talent. ithe songs are good, but could used some older ones for players who are a bit older.
