Rock Band 2 — Some Brief Comments
Oct 29, 2008 Gaming
When it ain’t broke, don’t you dare try and fix it. The people at Harmonix clearly understood this, and Rock Band 2 is no less fun than the first. I played for a couple of hours last night, and here are some nice new things I noticed:
You can set the game up in “No Fail” mode — keeping you from getting booed of the stage. This is really nice when you’ve never heard a song before and more than anything you just need to hear it from front to back and give it your best shot along the way. Very simple, very nice addition.
All your downloaded songs import from the original RB. Sure, their was a bit of a process, but it was necessary.
They really have a diverse musical offering. Devo, the Replacements, and Avenge Sevenfold… there’s a lot going on there.
Like the Madden franchise, both RB and Guitar Hero are going to have long, successful runs in the marketplace. They will continue to contain a core feature set that is undeniably fun, and people are going to look to each new edition for new songs and a few key additions.
