Rock Band 2 is an absolute party classic! It takes everything from the first game and makes it better – harder songs, slicker interface, and that awesome online play! Getting together with your buddies, rocking out on plastic instruments, and failing hilariously at the vocals... that's pure gaming joy. Sure, setting everything up is a hassle and the drum kits are kinda loud, but hey, if you just want to have a blast with some friends, you can't beat Rock Band 2.
(I played the Deluxe version of Rock Band 2, and I had quite a few crashes throughout my playtime)
Yeah I mean it's fine lol
it builds on Rock Band 1 slightly by just adding more songs, more animations, more venues and more customization, but the UI is very similar, the look is very similar, and there's not a whole lot extra that's added on, which is fine but leaves me desiring more.
The base song selection is very fun and good! and it's very fun to be able to play these songs, albeit on a much easier game than Guitar Hero ever was lol

Might be controversial, but I prefer this ever so slightly to Guitar Hero III - mainly because it just feels more dynamic. More dynamic in its setlist (without those rough covers which GHIII still had [like Paranoid + Holiday in Cambodia.. ooof]), its wide docket of pretty venues, campaign, and of course full band gameplay. Charts are still weaker than GH overall (very possibly due to Harmonix's attitude that rhythm games should be played with 'music >> gameplay' in mind) but they're still mostly fun - and holy hell is it ever a VAST improvement over almost everything wrong with the first Rock Band - I'm very impressed with how much this still holds up! Still a few dropped notes here and there (especially with long lines of strum salads) and I'm not sure if I'm a fan of how much repetition you can expect in the campaign setlists, but there is just hours upon hours of good content here (with DLC support!) even just as a solo guitarist. Still can't touch Guitar Hero World Tour at all though imo.
Significantly better than the first with an incredible set list. I still wish I could go back sometimes.
сначала плейлист начинает навевать тоску, альтернативы слишком много.Но потом начинается настоящий РОК! Метла, Мегадед, Джудас Прист, Стили Ден, АС/ДС и многие другие.Графон пойдет, на анимации прекрасно смотреть. Хуже своего продолжения, но видно на лице улучшения с первой
Game seems kind of cool but you need a microphone even if you don't want to be a vocalist so I'm completely blocked out of using it right now. I know what RockBand plays like so I'm sure its just more of the same.
Amazing game!
im bruce springsteen
Aesthetically more pleasing than guitar hero, but functionally the same game.
Dont remember much about this game, just know i played it.
Absolutely phenomenal, no notes. I got a guitar controller for my Wii U and this game is still as good as I remember.
This was the pinnacle of plastic instrument games.
Best soundtrack
The story mode on this one and character creation was perfect. Wonderful setlist too
The second best rock band
One of my all-time faves. RB2 in particular is the game of this series I arguably spent the most time with. Bought a bunch of DLC songs, played guitar/drums while my Ma was on vocals. We share a love of music & this was always such a fun way to jam out to some classic tunes together. I'll always have fond memories of it.
Great music game. Wish it had a PS4 remake, so I could play without having a PS3 again.
best setlist, and the instruments got major upgrades from 1.
this game was magic that simply can't be replicated

this game has the 2nd best setlist out of any rock band or guitar hero game thats only really beaten by guitar hero 3 being perfect in almost every way
When I was 16 my friend Doug and I were overseas for a school volleyball tournament and this family housed us for the week. They had an attic with a tv and this game (with a mic, guitar and drum set). We played this on full volume till 6am every single night and somehow managed to win the volleyball tournament also. HUGE apologies to that family who never dared to speak up once about how annoying we must've been lmao.
Years of Guitar Hero already got a ton of dad rock education through my skull, but learning about Steely Dan via Boddhisatva may be one of the biggest disproportionately-monumental butterfly effect moments in my life that wildly changed my appreciation for music.
By the way, the other 83 songs also make this the best GH/RB setlist. Even Cool For Cats feels right in here? Why?

Peak peak peak peak peak. RB3 definitely is more of an evolution and has much more options than 2 but at the same time I think 2 feels like a more cohesive package, plus has a better on disc song list and I like the grungier aesthetic compared to 3. So many good memories playing this game as a kid and screaming That's What You Get into the mic in a suburban finished basement.
THE GOAT, THE GOAT! The best Rock Band game. Killer setlist, Amazing visuals and graphics. Great for all players, experienced or not. Harmonix took everything bad from the first game, and made that great in Rock Band 2. Goated game
A perfect sequel in every way. Bigger setlist, harder songs, more gameplay options, better character customization, an incredible career mode with more replayability than ever before, and ALL OF YOUR DLC SONGS FROM THE FIRST GAME CARRIED OVER. You could even import most of Rock Band 1's on-disc songs into Rock Band 2 for a modest $5 fee. An absolute triumph from the music game golden age, and one of the best games of the seventh console generation.
i grew up with this game but i can't get the accessories working, but this is how i grew up listening to a lot of classic songs
All achievements
Definitely now one of my favorite music games of all time. Incredible setlist, so much customization, A ton of content to get through, and so much potential for 4 player endless fun.
It also made me discover what REAL music is.

Born too late to explore Earth.
Born too early to explore the stars.
Born just in time to play Rock Band 2 throughout the entirety of high school.
