As I was flipping through gamespot.com, I noticed a little article mentioning the soon- to be existence of Rock Band 2. What The F***? " They just came out with the first one last November, and now they want me to beg my parents to buy me another $190 game for Christmas"?, I thought. The hefty 200 hundred dollar price tag can actually be avoided, as it turns out. All the instruments from the predecessor are compatible with the latest installment, and after searching through the track list, I'm definitely buying this game!!! It's almost as if every single creator went to a liberal arts school, or at least have an excellent taste of music. If the very thought of being able to sing along with friends to songs such as "Float On" by Modest Mouse, and "You Outa Know" by Alanis Morisette doens't make you wet, then once I list a few more, it will. The instruments aren't much of an improvement, but the guitar is definitely an interesting investment. The drums however, contain a minimum re-design scheme(except for the awesome fact that it's wireless). Another awesome feature that is new, is the ability to be instructed on how to play these songs on a real drum set + the fact that you can free play any downloaded song from your 360. That means any ipod song! You might want to check out of rehab.
Here are a couple other song examples:
Beck- Epro
Disturbed- Down With The Sickness
Jimmy Eat World- The Middle
System Of A Down- Chop Suey
Beastie Boys- So Watch Want
nirvana- Drain You
The Offspring- Gotta' keep Em' Separated
Pearl Jam- Alive
Rage Against The Machine- Testify
RHCP- Give It Away
Smashing Pumpkins- Today
Sound Garden- Spoonman
Bon Jovi- Livin' On A Prayer(you heard me, drunk and belligerent time)
Billy Idol- White Wedding
Duran Duran- Hungry Like The Wolf
Jane's Addiction- Mountain Song
Go Go's- We Got The Beat
Metallica- Battery
Motor Head- The Ace Of Spades
The Replacements-Alex Chilton
Sonic Youth- Teenage Riot
Survivor- Eye Of The Tiger(yes, that one!)
Blondie- One Way, Or Another
Bob Dylan- Tangled Up In Blue
Cheap Trick- Hello There
Journey- Anyway You Want It
Talking Heads- Psycho Killer
and much much more.............

Is this compatible with the Wii? I have been seriously thinking about getting a Wii because I loooove Rock Band but this would really put me over the edge. What do you think?
That is awesome!!!
Psycho killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa, better,
Run run run run run run run away!!!
Bethany, as of right now, Rock Band 2's for the nintendo wii are not in production, but I'm pretty sure they will follow up in the next few months. Rock Band 1 was recently released for the nintendo Wii, but the total cost for a wii and Rock Band, Is about 500 dollars. I mean, feel free to purchase it.
Claudia- Did you see "Float On"? Freakin amazing.
Oh!! i also fogot to mention that any song downloaded form the previous game is playable on the new one! It's the first time a music game has done this.
How different is the Rock Band for Nintendo and the Rock Band for the Wii? Is it the exact same?
Nintendo makes the wii. Do you mean for the Xbox? If so, then in general the Xbox version is alot more fun. There's a "world Tour" mode in which you travel the world gaining fans and money to purchase clothing. That's exclusive. It is also has the ability to download about 80 brand new songs online, and on top of that, better graphics.

Yeah, I meant Xbox. As you can tell, I'm not really a gamer. That's why the Wii really appealed to me. I'm still having trouble getting my hands on one. Let me know if you see one.
