wow im so glad they have carry on my wayward son and eye of the tiger on rock band 2. those r my 2 favorite song and they have better designs for the mic and drums!!! AWSOME!!

I played it.. it was so-so .. i wish the intruments somehow were real but using the consoles as a studio or something..

There are a lot of great things I like about the new Rock Band 2. First of all, the ability to transfer my current library to the new one, awesome (the $5 fee, garbage, but whatever). The cost to re-download these songs onto the new game vs. transferring them is so substantial that I'll deal with the fee.

Secondly, the character customization is almost TOO robust. I'm not the biggest fan of doing this any way, but I can dress up my character eight ways to Sunday and still have a ton of other options left over. If you CAN'T find an outfight you like, you are the world's pickiest person.

The expanded song lineup, including "Eye Of the Tiger" and "Anyway You Want It" are two of my favorite new songs, as well as finding interesting ones on there like "Lump" and "You Outta Know". The songs range from apple pie to ridiculous but the fun is definitely still there and the improved drum set (if you get it) is a LOT quietter than the original.

Only real down sides so far is that I still want more songs that I recognize ( and perhaps some country music in there as well, I think that'd be pretty popular!!
