Super fun!
Fun and educational, it's like a 3D puzzle with instructions and little bits of architectural history along the way. Looking forward to the finished result! We love it! :)

Rock Band part deux
2 of 2 found this helpful Rock Band; the first game got it right by incorporating all the instruments to a standard 4 piece rock outfit. It's a great game by anyone's standards and is absolutely perfect for any party or get-together. It is very customizable and has a great track list from all major genres of rock and roll that's fun for the whole family. The game just "gets it."
Rock Band 2 got it near-perfect. This game builds upon the first one without detracting from its iconic status; a feat nearly impossible to accomplish with a sequel of any sort. The songs are more precise and easier to navigate. There's more character customization. And best of all, ALL of your Rock Band 1 songs save 3 can be imported and managed just like downloaded songs on Rock Band 2.
Speaking of downloadable content, did I mention there are HUNDREDS of great tracks available, AND they're performed by the ORIGINAL artists. Nothing against cover bands, you guys rock too; but if I have to purchase a track to essentially "cover" myself, I'd really like to use the official recording rather than cover a cover. (Btw, there are about 5 songs that are covers left over from RB1 content, but compared to Rock Band's popular counterpart that almost exclusively uses cover bands that's not saying much.)
As far as gameplay goes, it's gotten slightly better in terms of accuracy and breaking the monotony of hitting the same note patterns for 8 or so different songs. Although playing a plastic guitar is no comparison to the real thing, the drums and vocals are pretty close. I myself don't play drums but have heard numerous real drummers state how close they actually get on Expert mode. I can speak for the vocals though. They have gotten much more accurate in reading the notes you're singing (or screaming).
Particularly screaming has become more precise. It's easy to scream and even clip the input on the "talking" parts and have the game still register that you're speaking into the mic. In the first incarnation of this game, screaming above a medium roar would, for lack of a better word, confuse the microphone and cause it to not register, thus killing your score and causing you to fail the song. It still has trouble registering the notes you are screaming to the point you have to be right on the money or nothing at all during the "singing" parts but hopefully that will be fixed in the next installment.
Overall, this game is nearly perfect in every way. The oh-so-few minor annoyances (such as no longer having default lag settings or the ability to play locally with your Xbox Avatar as a character) I could name are far outweighed by the sheer playability of this title. I highly recommend this game to anyone, even if you've never played a guitar game in your life. The learning curve is so low and has an awesome progression that is sure to keep you, your friends, and your family entertained for a long time. Thanks for reading and rock hard!
