What Customers Say About Rock Band 2:

plus service quickly and eficient. Definetely a must to wii fans and a Plus to Rock Band. Cant Complain. The most thing we like about RB2 is the fact to personalize your character. IS too cool to see ourselfs like a rock singer or guitar player.

They have formed a band. My nephew love this game since the first moment. Hi and his friends have too fun with it.

Second, this may or may not be the case but at least for how I perceived it RB seemed to have more/better songs overall and the game play seemed like it was more fun and lasted longer (also, the character designs seemed better to me). I'm glad that I picked up GH first though since their equipment works with RB but not the other way around. and at first I didn't really like it. These are small things that I really didn't notice until switching back to GH and it just feels like GH is missing something now. I picked up Guitar Hero World Tour during a gold box special and was completely surprised by how much fun it is.

Overall though it comes down to fairly subtle differences between the two games. However, after spending more time playing Rock Band 2 and bouncing back and forth between the two I find Rock Band 2 to be more fun than Guitar Hero World Tour. What is most telling is that when it comes time to play the first choice is always RB2 over GH. So my advice would be to get the full band set up for GH and then just pick up the RB games. Third, there are a few things that come up while playing RB that are fun that GH doesn't do. It's actually a nice touch because then everyone can go into overdrive together right after.

I'd always thought it was one of those things that only a kid would enjoy and/or that I wouldn't be able to get the hang of it enough to bother with but I was wrong on both counts. They are definitely both great games (never would have tried RB if GH wasn't so fun) but there are a few extras that RB has that push it ahead. Also, they have special finishes on some songs and that can be fun too. Eventually I decided to give Rock Band 2 a try (after I saw it marked way down too). For example, RB has a unison feature where if everyone hits a specific note at the same time you immediately get overdrive (star power in GH). If I switch from playing on medium from one to the other there is a real difference.

It's a little different from Guitar Hero and being used to the one I was actually kind of critical of Rock Band 2. First, Rock Band is a little easier (although I think GH lets you go further before giving you a fail).

If you have wifi, you can download even more songs once you've accrued enough points with your rock band. So we know to avoid those when our kids play. It is a blast. I love this game. Even better, we can let our kids play along. I got this for my husband so he could let his inner rock star out.

Then I decided to give it a try since it looked like so much fun. I've found the blue dot songs have mature lyrics or suggestive movements. It was rated "teen" so I did not think that it would work for our whole family (we have young kids). The songs that are for mature audiences have a blue dot next to them to tag them for you. Now I just need to add more instruments. I stored it with all of his other "mature" video games.

You can make up your own personality and add more to your rock band.

We can use both guitars, and we prefer to use the drum set from GHWT (softer feel than RB1). I love hanging with my friends and playing this game. We have Rock Band 1, with those instruments, and Guitar Hero World Tour with those instruments. We don't use online play, so I can't comment on that. I will do any instrument, but my favorite is singing. We bought Rock Band 2 game only, and use it with either set of instruments. Many of the songs on RB2 are the same as GHWT, but RB2 is more fun in actual game play.
