This game is a great improvement over the already crisp Rock Band. Now you have full band (clan) support, a cleaner user interface, more songs and you can import your whole library over from Rock Band. The biggest improvement is the instrument calibration, now what you see, hear and play will never be offbeat and you won't miss those crucial extra notes. I already started The Mvmt band for anyone who wants to join up.

Tony’s Score 9.5/10


Lee, holla at me when you’re ready to duel a Rock God…

You don't even know.

LOL, that's a good one, but the general consensus is that Hendrix was the GOAT, lad. The list starts AFTER Jimi, m'boy!

NOW, tonight's assignment is to listen to every Experience and Band of Gypsies album, ten times each until you have a more enlightened understanding of exactly what this cat was able to do with a guitar.

No the list starts after Jimmy

WHEW! You almost made a big mistake there Leezy, here let me get that for you...

Now Jimmy Page was great, but Hendrix just made his guitar sing man, I mean this dude was bananas. What else do you listen to besides Zeppelin and The Jonas Brothers?

Jonas Brothers...Seriously little stereotypical for the people of my age. But its understandable since not many people my age listen to good music. Hendrix is definitely one of my favorite 3 guitarists he was great. Don't worry I know who was/is out there so I know what i'm talkin about.

Well put, lad. I'm glad to see a punk like you listening to good music. Speaking of which, there LOTS of albums dropping this quarter. There's like five albums I gotta DL tonight alone.

Word from the game developers from the CES floor is that there will be no Rock Band 3 this year, because it cuts back on development for each individual game. And one isn't needed IMO, RB2 is as good as it gets for right now. A Beatles game is coming and they want to work with Zeppelin tracks (there you go Lee). Also they MAY be adding a keyboard in the future.

On the Guitar Hero front, a patent was taken out not too long ago for DJ Hero, so I'd expect some sort of DJ/Hip Hop/Club game for Rockband in the future as well. I'd imagine a turntable, mic and mixer/drum machine of some sort.

The reason why I don't post any Guitar Hero info is because I'm a RB guy. I had GH 1 and 2 for the '2, but RB is just slightly more polished game and adult game. It has more bells and whistles, not to mention the instruments are better quality and look a lil closer to the real thing.

I'm not a huge fan of the music games. I have guitar hero: legends of rock and I never play it...

Hmmm. I don't know. Isn't that thing like $200+ ??

It's like $180 or so, but check Amazon. Have you actually PLAYED the game Muff??

I haven't played Rockband. My brother was going to get it so I figured I'd play it at his house. He went with World Tour though... I wasn't impressed. I don't have a whole lot of friends over to the house that play video games so... it seemed silly for me to buy it and play alone. But I guess its online multiplayer?

Yeah! I told you I started the MVMT band (someone already took "The Movement" ), you can add permanent member and backup’s. There's LOTS of multiplayer options, people actually form bands online (guitar, drums, bass, vocals) and put out adds to recruit. it's more or less like running a small clan.

And the character creation is DOPE, you can make multiple avatars and there A LOT of options for clothes, instruments and accessories. The coolest thing is that on the RB site, you can take and edit pics of your band and actually make real action figures and clothing out of them! Not to mention they’re new games every week and the library is at about 500 or so songs right now.


A ROCK GOD!!!



It really doesn't get much better than me Muffy.



Me, my girl and another character I made.



The band (clan) logo I made, pretty clean, IMO.

Looks cool. I'll have to consider it... in these hard economic times Everytime I keep saying I'm buying nothing else for a while... you twist my arm. LOL Fallout was a great recommendation though.

I don't spend a whole lot of money on anything else though. Its how I justify my multiple game spending.
