Rock Band 2

If the first Rock Band was the opening leg of a full-blown concert tour, with four players living the rock and roll dream via color-coded buttons and plastic guitars, drums, and microphone, Rock Band 2 is like the final show of that same tour. ...

"Rock Band 2 for PlayStation 2 fixes a couple problems the first game had but is still the least interesting version of the game. World Tour mode is here and some minor tweaks make for a more user-friendly experience, but the still missing features leave gaping holes in the package. A lack of downloadable content is understandable on the PS2, but it's hard to imagine why the character creator didn't make it in. The result is a generic experience that doesn't feel like a band of your own creation. Still, the basic mechanics of rocking great songs with your friends is a whole lotta fun. If you don't have the pleasure of playing Rock Band 2 on a next-gen system, you could certainly do a lot worse than the PS2 version."
