Rock Band

[Fitzy]

How is this old news if it hasn't been in a game since GH2?

[Kaney]

It has been around since GH2. It was in GH3.

[Fitzy]

I don't recall that.

[-A-]

I didn't know that either...

[Kaney]

You people clearly don't cheat enough.

It was actually around in the original, when I was able to not look at the screen and play "You've Got Another Thing Comin" on Expert.

So I went out and got Rock Band 2 at midnight, and so far it's been a blast. There's a lot of modes that you can play, quite a lot of options for a single player experience and a few more for band. A lot of "HELL YEAH" moments or where I got shivers because of how awesome it was to play along to a song. Will post a lengthy "review" later, but for now more rocking!

Spirit in the Sky has an awful drum beat. I don't like it.

I hate every one of you who has RB2.

I want you to know this.

There's a possiblity the solus game is coming out November 21 over here, tentative date from one of our release folders, but it could be wrong, last year's was off by about 5 months

If I had any money, I'd buy Rock Band 2... but I just spent $60 on NHL 09. I might try to push for it to end up in my hands sooner than later, but it's looking like I won't have it until at least Xmas.

At least there's still lots of DLC for me to pick up for RB1 if I find little bits of money here or there.

I love this game. The fact that everything just seems so much better is awesome. I've only really gone through challenges so far and I really like the fact that they've incorporated the DLC in with the challenges very well. I will say though, that the song "Visions" is ridiculous.

I just saw the drums on X, lolol.

Someone playing the drums in freestyle:

It sounds really good.

I think it's absolute bullshit that turning on selectable venues turns off access to Xbox live. And I'm disappointed that there aren't more new clothing options. And too many early challenges involve Duran Duran.

Aside from that, this game is amazing.

[Cactus Drags]

I thought they were supposed to be adding loads of stuff to the character creator? :/

I'm watching a Drum Trainer video and now I really want to pick up a set of drums. How much do the RB1 set go for?

[King Ellis]

I think they're like £70 new. I want the drums myself but I dare not get the first set with all the horror stories of 'OMG I LOOKED AT MY DRUM SET AND IT FELL APART!'. I fully intend to wait and get the package for RB2 or maybe even GH:WT if the reviews are all "zOMG AMAZING!".

Speaking of drums, I just loved this picture from Joystiq's look at the ION set.

$300 drumset, you're doing it wrong.

The only way you're gonna break your drumset is if you're a fucking idiot and bang on the motherfucker like it's a real drum set. It's plastic, so common sense says you shouldn't go batshit crazy.

They added a whole new category of clothing, the problem is that most of it is terrible, and about 1/3rd of it is dumb looking T-shirts. The existing categories only have 2-3 new items in them, if that. I don't recall seeing any new hairstyles, either. There are more faces, makeup, and glasses options, though. It's not enough, though. I was hoping they'd do something like nearly double the amount of items available.
