Yay, another Rock Band game!
I never really got a good chance to play the first Rock Band but when I got Rock Band 2, I was amazed with the fantastic setlist of Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold! I also love the guitar compared to those ungodly Guitar Hero III guitars. There are only two things about the game that bother me: #1: The guitar's strum bar affects the selection of songs and main menu items #2: The setlist contains music from artists like Duran Duran and Beastie Boys that are not considered rock, but pop (Duran Duran) and Hip-Hop/rap (Beastie Boys). This game is a high recommendation for fans of all types of rock music and rockstar wannabe's.

Amazingly Awesome
It's one of the best games I've played. Music selection was great. Graphics and Sound were great. It's way much better than the first, even though you get almost every other song in the first too. It's one of the best games, and I reccomend it to anybody that has a good taste in Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

Guitar Hero is better
Rock Band 2 is a great game, but I think Guitar Hero World Tour is better. Rock Band 2 has a lot of songs (500+), however, you have to own Rock Band 1 first. And the hardware is complete shit. GH FTW!
