5 Stars Rock Band 2
This game is great fun! I am 10 years old and enjoy it thoroughly. It is great for all ages and I can even see my dad singing. You can even customize your own character! The few problems would be the format, for example you can’t unlock new songs on quickplay, and you have to play unlocked songs on it (you need to unlock them on tour), and that the guitar is much easier than on guitar hero 3. Overall, I think it is a great choice and beats guitar hero. You can play in a band as well.

4 Stars Much better than the original Rock Band on Wii
Rock Band 2 is great for Wii. While the graphics are not as good as they are for the HD versions, the game still has all of the other features. Downloadable content is available and can be played from an SD card. I used Guitar Hero controllers (100% compatible) so I can’t tell you how the RB controllers are. My only complaint is that there are limited options when it comes to creating/editing band members and logos.

3 Stars Fun but Elitist
Rock Band II for the WII is fun and addictive but a step child to the others. Many small features (like crowd interaction) don’t exist or work as well. Very frustrating is that less than 10% of the 500 songs released on the XBox are released for WII. Most frustrating is that the game designers only release their music (punk and rock). There are 0/500 R&B and country songs. Rock has its roots in these genres. There are challenging rhythms missing for the drums and Rock Band’s bass guitar is also hopelessly not worth playing without it.

5 Stars Even better the second time around.
I really enjoy playing RB2. And since you can use the GHWT instruments (Wii) on RB2 it’s even better. Nice game play, nice song choices. Overall a really fun game. I don’t like it quite as much as GHWT, but it’s not far off. If you liked the first one, then this one is must have.

5 Stars excellent game and the hardware is working better than expected
I was concerned that the hardware may fail but RB2 hardware seems to be higher quality than the original equipment.

The game is entertaining and a good way to keep your brain active and unwind after work.

Everyone can play this game, even if they don’t like video games.
