Rock Band 2 Review

[MyCoolboy17]

ok so my rock band 2 guitar had been in use for 3 years now and still works like new and I play expert on songs like thrasher and ttfatf with it and it's still like new so good job there but my drum kit broke with in the first week of opening the box so fail there

[20Justin1]

I like Lego Rockband better ;)

[drummerboy41096]

mr goldstein, i have two words for you: name change

[jxmod]

i just bought this used for 6 bucks :D ima get rb3 later is 3 worth the money?

[Jacobnelz44]

rock band 2 is way better than 3!

[Intrdmnsion]

Rock Band 2 was just short of a masterpiece. Almost there, but it was perhaps the greatest music game ever.

Maybe that's why RB3 didn't satisfy us. It's hard to follow up to a game as great as RB2.

[shreddintheaxe]

@Intrdmnsion not really, if they would have put better songs in 3 it would have been a masterpeice.

[Intrdmnsion]

@shreddintheaxe I found it hard to treat RB3 as a masterpiece with numerous glitches, bugs, and among other things, terrible character animations. Characters aren't as wild as they used to be; they just hang onto a mic stand during the ENTIRE song. The animations are boring and lack any creativity now. It's a step down from RB2.

The new art style looks great, though. Just wish the the male models weren't barrel chested.

Those are just a few reasons why RB3 isn't "perfect". I can list more.

[shreddintheaxe]

@Intrdmnsion honestly rock band 3 was just a failure lol, i'll stick to playing rock band 1

and 2. in rock band 3 the soundtrack sucked ass, the crowd had no sound like it did in the first 2 when they would cheer or boo you lol. at least the first 2 had better songs in it lol.

[XxHALOxX1951]

HILARY???????

[NatWolff43567890]

rock Band 2 Is Better Than GH Green Day RB my my favourite game

[EasyExpertVillage]

rock band 1=$3

rock band 2=$12

was rock band 2 a good buy or not.

does it make sense that guitar hero works with the ps2 controller

but when rock band came out the ps2 controller doesn't.

i am trying to figure out if rock band is ahead or behind on that.

like this if it is ahead

dislike if it's behind.

[MrMaster1043]

@EasyExpertVillage They just don't care for the Ps2 as much as the other consoles.

[EasyExpertVillage]

@MrMaster1043 makes sense. but will a guitar hero guitar work on rock band 2. cuase i already have one and i had rock band metal and my guitar seemed to work on it.

[MrMaster1043]

@EasyExpertVillage It don't know >.< Googling an answer would be best.

[brokrishnan]

Best Rock Band game

[014canucksfan]

To get the rock band 1 songs onto rock band 2 like he said do u have to have rock band 1?

[xRockXBandx]

@014canucksfan yes. and it costs 5.99 to do that

[BoySkater2000]

Yep!

[simpsonsfan234]

ENCORE MODDE?!?!? WHAAAA o.O

[Mason009009]

The only problem i have with this game is that sometimes and i actually mean alot of times the characters dont move with the mood of the song. For EX i was playing seize the day A7x but when song started the dude was fist pumping and running all over the fuckin stage. Same with quite a few other songs

[CrimsonRGU]

the only thing i dont like about rockband is that everyone looks like an anorexic bridge troll

[GeekNerdProductions]

why did he make himself look like ron weasly?

[xXxSilentHeroxXx]

Hilary? That must have been a tough name to grow up with

[theamitlifeTV]

[Miigetius69]

Do the GH Drums work on Rock Band??? Please anwser!!

[sackboypsp]

@Miigetius69 yes they do but im not sure about 4 the ps3

[MrMike0113]

@sackboypsp They work fine on PS3. I've been using them since May '09.

[evilangelsora]

Do you need the mic to play anything in this game? I don't own any of these games. Let me know someone.

[WeirdHeadshot]

i find when i play the RB2 drums it starts to hert the foot after a while is there any way to fix that

[mastertoxophilite]

@WeirdHeadshot quit being a wimp!! NAH just kidding haha i'm not that mean. I had the same problem.. you could try resting ur foot on the pedal pressed down and when a note is popping up, lift your WHOLE leg and slam it down on the note :) i hope this helped :/

[11palkia]

wtf hilary

[Worgenschorgen]

meh. don't make fun of him. maybe he's a girl who got in a terrible accident and ended up looking and sounding like a guy...

[pinnafej]

hilary? holy shit thats a hilaryous name for a guy

[evilangelsora]

@pinnafej Do you know what else is hilarious. The fact that you spelt 'Hilarious' wrong.

[pinnafej]

@evilangelsora

[Nils1504]

[carlos56781]

hilary is name of Guru

[rockerage]

they should make the notes like in rock band beatles, round rectangles not this old rectangle feel now lol

[AF08]

Stop making fun of his name gosh. So immature. =p

[ZTS88]

they need to make a keybored

[psychoman125]

@ZTS88 Rock Band 3 has a keyboard

[palitodequeso1234]

this game is definitly better than gh, unfortunately, it would be way better if they would change the notes, i mean, seriously, cilinders as notes sucks, why not just triangles or squares, or even hexagons, or any other more precise shape than cilinders.

[molomono]

@BdizzleWong

RB3 is supposed to come out before fall dude.

But do get Rockband 2 first. You won't regret having it even when you get RB3.

[MapleCombat74]

@molomono dude BDizzleWong is rite RB3 issnt coming in fall its coming out around next year

[molomono]

@MapleCombat74

I looked up their latest update to their release date dude.

[torkoal531]

Nah, it's confirmed for Holiday 2010, like December.

[molomono]

That must have just bin confirmed, because they changed it since i posted.

[SheckleRFan715]

@torkoal531

is there rockband 2 for psp?

[torkoal531]

@SheckleRFan715

no, the only rb for psp is rock band unplugged, which isn't very good. It recycles songs and the gameplay seems boring.

[SheckleRFan715]

@torkoal531

when i play rb unplugged on psp nd when i exit, all the games were removed nd it seems it virus or something

[HEKTIC25]

wait... dose that mean if i dont have rockband 1, if i get rock band 2 i will still get all songs from rock band1?

[ardeesonic]

No, you need to buy RB1 and something that exports the songs from RB1 to RB2.

[dtalamas24]

should i buy rock band 2? or wait for the third one?

[SuperGigaman]

@dtalamas24 hahahahaha!

[ardeesonic]

Third won't be coming out for a while, so get RB2, then export the songs from 2 to 3.

[kingangel1209]

hay guys not alot of my friends online have rock band 2 please add me my gamertag is kingangel1209 add me and we can rock together

[08vic24]

What's song going on around 2:23?

[08vic24]

Found out it's Alex Chilton by The Replacements. Just in case anyone's wondering in the future.

[grandelipe]

1:09

Hammer off????

theyre pull offs dumb reviewer

[annus1000]

Who the fuck cares? You going to call a story writer shit at writing because they made 1 spelling mistake? His job is to play and review games, not be a musician.

[grandelipe]

i care cause is not a spelling mistake its a whole fucking word

and they tell the name of fucking thing like 5 or 6 times in fucking tutorials its even on loading screens sometimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't want him to musician i just want him pay attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[annus1000]

1) I doubt he played the tutorial.

2) I'm sure it was a mistake (They have timelines and things can be rushed)

3) Who the fuck cares!

If you are not happy with his reviewing, don't watch it.

[grandelipe]

ok kid

im not going to discuss

i know it was a little too harsh calling him dumb but , i just saying that he should pay attention to the stuff in the game

and stop asking"Who the fuck cares !"

cause if im writting about I CARE !!!!!!!!!!!!

[bakbak5]

From someone who's ben play music themed games since the first Guitar Hero in 2005, I'm just simply bored with the genre. I don't know why, it just doesn't excite me anymore, sadly. Oh well, hopefully Rock Band 3 will be the innovative masterpiece that Harmonix has hinted at.

[simpsonsfan234]

I saw jukebox mode 2:40 wtf

[annythepip]

I broke the rock band 2 pedal it did last me 2 as long tho a whole month not just 2 weeks

[downtownpics]

that's not a answer

[insertnamehere001]

why didnt Rock Band 2 get realesed for Australia 'cause i was gonna buy it but couldnt find it

[downtownpics]

Rock Band 2 is a Guitar Hero IV clone, THEY HAVE THE SAME SONGS:

Eye of the Tiger

Today

Living on a prayer

Feel the pain(somethin like that)

The Kill

and more...

[LegosPL0X]

I'm surprised you said that. I'm not going to start a fanboy fight, but I thought ghwt was more of a clone, it being the first gh "full band game". Just my opinion, don't get pissed off.

[downtownpics]

i'm not pissed off, they copied of each other. Rock band with songs, guitar hero with band

[annythepip]

but world tour just sucks.... the drums are much better on rock band 2 although guitar hero has a much better guitar controller in still using my gh2 guitar

[imtripping23]

lol....stfu, So what??

[downtownpics]

Nothing, i just think that they should have other song rather then almost all GH4 songs

[imtripping23]

But they dont have almost all the Gh4 songs.....just like 6 on disc, and the rest are DLC

[GuitarHeroTribute]

What would all you guys say is better?:

Guitar Hero World Tour (with a 7/10 score)

Guitar Hero 5 (with a 9/10 score)

or Rock Band 2 (with a 8/10 score)

Please post a reply ASAP.

[cooldude89012]

Well guitar hero 5 has beaten all rockbands currently because its a great game for 1 player and if you like have a bro and sis and they wanna be the same instrument then tada! it works.Also if 1 bandmember fails you can bring them back.Another reason guitar hero 5 lets you import all world tour songs to it.Overall guitar hero 5 kicks rockbands ass

[Reaper0]

Just get Guitar Hero Metallica.

[isthisit15]

RB2, IGN sucks at reviews sometimes.

[alexsharpe1]

Can someone please tell me how to pay that $5 to get all the songs from rock band 1.

[pooman03]

what should i buy rock band 2 or guitar hero 5 or rock band beatles?

[BrysonialTheBison]

i would recomend rock band 2 because it has a TON of downloadable content.

[ju1972iac]

whats the song at 5:32?

[carrotnose2]

I belive the song a second past that time is "Hello There"

I do not know the artists and trust me...the songs pretty short...only about maybe a minute long

[Gab51421]

Hello There

[Foofighter0007]

Cheap Trick ~ Hello There

[zachy7777]

Games cost 60 dollars in America!

Here in Australia they cost bloody 90-100 dollars!

Jesus.

[riceybfc2]

yeah is that for just the game or instruments too

[zachy7777]

The full instrument pack costs about 280 or even 300 dollars I'm not sure cause my brother bought rock band. But I know that the Guitar Hero 5 guitar and game pack costs 180 dollars at average. Australia sucks when it comes to games.

[Pepez121]

Here in Mexico it RB2 cost 1300 pesos

(100 bucks)

[cheesebo5]

your names HILLARY!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Swordyyz]

0:50

Fuck that. I've gone through two foot pedals in less than a year. Ordered a Blockhead foot pedal instead.
