Rock Band 2, more of the same

by dj

And that's exactly what I want. So yea, I went out to the Best Buy and bought myself a copy of Rock Band 2. So far I've tried a bit of the world tour. I definitely prefer this to the old school career mode. It in cooperates the cool aspects of Band World tour and lets me play it alone. Why is that awesome? Well one I have no friends, and two, I can now get the Tour achievements. I don't have to...

So yea, I went out to the Best Buy and bought myself a copy of Rock Band 2. So far I've tried a bit of the world tour. I definitely prefer this to the old school career mode. It in cooperates the cool aspects of Band World tour and lets me play it alone. Why is that awesome? Well one I have no friends, and two, I can now get the Tour achievements. I don't have to travel an hour to get to the one other guy I know who has Rock Band. I'm the one Rock Band supporter in my close group of friends.

At the moment I'm not to sure how good the song list is because I just started. But honestly I think I've hit the pinnacle already, EYE OF THE TIGER! In all seriousness, the one thing I'm looking forward to is the Guns N' Roses song. GNR is my favorite band and I have been eagerly awaiting it, this is the one tangible piece that at least says it exists. I can't wait to hear what they sound like after the great meltdown.

However the one thing that sticks out in my mind more than the song list and tour is the drum trainer. I know that's extremly bizarre but I always thought of Rock Band 1 as a drum teacher. And now here's Rock Band 2 with a whole mode dedicated to teaching you the drums. This just makes me want to save up the couple hundreds of dollars to get a real set. However if I keep blowing my money on games then that will be near impossible.

Well, that's the only thing new with me at the moment. So I guess I'll end by asking, what ya playin?
