Rock Band 2 Confirmed

Rock Band 2 - Box Art


It’s not shocking but it’s still worth mentioning that Rock Band 2 has just been confirmed by EA.  It seems like a few companies are announcing their games pre-E3 to avoid being “lost in the noise”.  It’s a smart strategy on their part, especially when the game is a no-brainer.  The good news is that your existing Rock Band instruments and DLC songs will be playable with Rock Band 2.  You’ll find no Guitar Hero-style shakedown here.  It’s too bad because I was kinda looking forward to meeting the guy with big enough balls to get up on a stage and tell people their $170 Rock Band bundle wasn’t compatible with Rock Band 2.  

I love Rock Band as much as the next guy , but I wonder why they can’t just keep releasing songs via weekly DLC like they are now.  Hopefully the Rock Band 2 track list will be worth it.  The game will be on display at E3 this year.

About Dynamite Jack

I began playing video games in 1981 at age five on my family's Atari 800 and have been hooked ever since. I cut my teeth on such non-classics as Star Raiders and Salmon Run before moving to the NES I got for Christmas in 1987. (Yes, I had R.O.B. the Robot)

Over the years I've survived numerous console wars like the SNES vs Genesis, PlayStation vs. N64, and the brutal Dreamcast vs. PS2. I'm the proud owner of all of today's consoles and the only preference I have is for great games. Fanboys begone! I like liking things :)
