Rock Band 2 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This is definently one of the best games to come out this year.

GAMEPLAY: It's basicaly the same old game from last year, you play the game with up to four people, playing guitar, bass, drums, and vocals to songs made by REAL rock bands. Aside from a few minor changes to hammerons, it's just the same old. 8/10 for no real changes to gameplay, but it still works very well.

GRAPHICS: Once again, very similar to the last game, no big changes. 7/10 for no graphics improvement, but still good.

MODES: This is where the big changes are. If you are like me, you play a lot of solo. NO MORE SOLO!!!! Instead, you can play the World Tour mode on your own. World tour doesn't have that many changes other than you don't need a band leader to play, and there are some new oppertunities, such as making music vids, or, my personal favorite, confusing one of your bandmates. One of the members of the band will have been whining or something, and then you switch out the last song in your set for something realy hard for that member. There are a lot of other new things like the drum trainer, which teaches you to play drums, the yet-to-be-released jukebox mode, where you get to just listen to the songs in the game. And many more. 9/10 for many new modes, but NO SOLO!!!

SONGS: There is a HUGE list of songs. 84. Fans of new stuff will like the Panic! At the Disco and others. If you are my age, you will find songs you might have used to like, like The Middle, Kids in America, and We Got the Beat. Grunge fans will like the Soundgarden and Nirvana. There's metal aplenty with Battery, Painkiller, and Peace sells, And don't forget the TONS of rock spanning the late 60s to today, and the 500 songs promissed by Harmonix by the end of the year for download, 20 free songs for download, AND, for $5, importing almost all of the songs from the first Rock band. 11/10 for an amazing list.

OVERAL: 9/10 for no real changes to gameplay or graphics, but makes up with many new songs and modes.
