Rock Band (2)

[ExMachina]

Game's out on PS3 today... not gonna pick it up myself for a while (my ghetto modded launch day drums are still holding out) though I do hope to grab the bundle at some point and will just play it at a friend's in the meantime.

I did get to play the 360 version extensively yesterday; new guitar is pretty great, I like the extra heft to it and the new finishing is hot but it's not very different from the original Strat (here's hoping the construction is sturdier though) so don't think it'll win you over if you're still a fan of GH's clicky strummer and raised fret buttons (I'm not). The rest were just regular ol' RB1 instruments so I didn't get to try out the new drums, which I'm really looking forward to.

Judging by how loudly everyone was singing along and enjoying themselves, Livin' on a Prayer alone is worth the price of admission, lol!

Best song in RB2 = Any Way You Want It

Hot.

Perfect excuse to troll this thread:

I prefer RB2's guitar to the clicky GH ones. They also have a sensor on them that will automatically calibrate the audio and video to your TV, which is autowin.

I just did Endless Setlist 2 on vocals a couple days ago (7 straight hours of singing... ugh) so next up is guitar. Sooner or later.

Howwwww. 5 songs on vocals and I'm ready to throw in the towel. xD

I haven't gotten the chance to try out the auto-calibrate function on the new Strat... does it actually work that well? I've only tried the new guitars on lagless CRTs so far.
