[Archived] Rock Band/rock Band 2

[Shevchenko]

Just if anyone by chance happen to have and play Rock Band and Rock Band 2...if anyone would like to get a BRFCS band together and play online every now and again, I'd be totally down with that.

Not got it yet am seriously considering though, is it better than guitar hero world tour?

Hard to comment as I haven't played World Tour. I've heard some stuff about the instruments though, the World Tour ones are not very impressive. The gameplay is said to be fairly standard while Rock Band has a better experience on offer. World Tour does have the option to make your own songs but the "studio" option is said to be too complicated for your average player to want to use. Personally I think the Rock Band games have better set lists as well.

The cool thing is that if you buy Rock Band 2 you get some 80 songs straight off the disc plus the vast selection of downloadable tracks from the music store to play. You can then rent/borrow the Rock Band 1 disc and transfer all the songs from that disc to your hard drive and play them all in Rock Band 2 - so you can get an insane amount of songs to play straight off the bat.

Decided to have a peek at a review on gamespot about it and it does seem better, gonna buy it when i get a bit of cash my way, will keep u posted as and when i get it.

i have played both Rock Band GH world tour- for me world tour wins hands down-

the guitars, and drums especially on GH are far sturdier and more proffessional IMO.

Got GH World Tour for christmas and I love it. Strumming away to system of a down, muse, the enemy, etc. Getting quite decent at easy and so thinking of stepping up to medium, only 1 song really does my head in and that is the Ozzy encore, crazy train! I just can't strum fast enough, get my fingers in the right place but everytime i make it about 25% in before the crowd boo me.

Thinking of getting the previous GHs and RBs. Also want to invest in the GH drums but they are about £60.
