Had this for about a week or so on us 360,and after playing the original to death since last december i could'nt wait for this.
First of all not much has changed the core gameplay is identical to the first game which is no bad thing,its just been tweaked to make it far easier to get straight into a full band playing the world tour or you can go through world tour on your own.The challenges are an extra addition with all dlc in there to create band specific challenges.
I have not been able to play anyone online or do the band world tour online not sure if ea have region locked the online play like some of their other games.I have compeated in some of the battle of the band challenges,there seems to be new ones everday or so and they last for about four or five days ranging from single instrument to full band challenges on expert only.When playing online the battle of the band challenges show up in the world tour and can be played as part of the world tour.
The graphics are exactly the same as the old game just some new camera angles,animations
and effects but the audio is way better on the rock band 2 tracks.Play a setlist of rock band 1 and 2 tracks together and the audio difference is very noticable also the crowd interaction on the new tracks is really good giving some great atmosphere.
And the tracklist,its really good,wasnt sure when i first saw it but its a real grower.Had four people round the other night each taking turns on all instruments,but everyone wanted the mike there are so many stand out tracks.With the 20 free songs coming and the endless dlc this game just gets better and can see myself and freinds playing it for a very long time.
