My Rock Band 2 Review

Rock Band 2. Hmmm where to start? Well besides the songs being perfect and the option to design your character I think that’s just about all I can say that’s good about it. The hammer-ons are horrible, just about every hammer-on you have to strum. Its not even the tv cause its already been calibrated. Being that the Bass Fender Replica is garbage and it causes you to miss notes. The guitar also gives out too. I didn’t buy any of the equipment for this game used even my 360 is brand spanking new. Its just this game is flawed. Tour can get

annoying cause they make you play the same songs over and over. One time I end up playing one specific song 4 times in a row. Some of the songs are so boring it makes you not want to play it any more. I am so look forward to GHW2 (Guitar Hero: World Tour) Even though I’ve looked at their list of song and its just about the same. Being that they’re both decided to push the limits of 85+ songs. Being that this is Guitar Hero’s first. (That’s another thread)

Being also that this game is made by EA (Electronic Arts) that doesn’t help much either. Its like it has the asshole-ness (I know that isn’t a word) of Guitar Hero when it comes to crazy notes to hit but the quality of the game could of been way better. The base replica fret bar is so damn stiff it cause your arm to get sore if you don’t know what you’re doing, even when you do know what you’re doing. Its a hassle playing bass. At times my boyfriend used Guitar Hero’s guitar to relieve the stress with playing with the bass guitar. Yes that is possible at first I was skeptical but the GH’S guitar does better for that game. (No you cannot use RB2′s bass guitar for GH because of the solo buttons). It cause the green fret to stay lit without you even pressing it.

Another thing that ticks me off about this game. When you have a list of songs to play and it differs from female lead singer to male. They don’t change like they would on Guitar Hero. I hope Guitar Hero don’t make that mistake. I mean its wierd seeing lead female/male singers sing the opposite of what they supposed to be singing. Ex: A male singing Paramore – That’s What You Get or A female singing Linkin Park – One Step Closer. I guess they became lazy and decided that well no one would notice and they’re not going to care, just as long as the game plays well. NOT! I’m a female gamer and find that very off and wrong. If they’re going to put out a game at least do it right when it comes to do doing certain things. & The outfits, lets not go there with that. Its like they put an randomizer on the people and the outfits. Its a guy on the game that looks like a straight female but have the body of a man. I almost failed the song cause I couldn’t stop looking at him. Well here’s the list of songs thats on the game. All 85+ of them…
