I just read the announcement about Rock Band 2 coming out in a couple of months. OH MY GOD! This is going to be awesome. They have included 84 tracks on the disc, and with their history, there will be new songs every week. It will be backwards compatible with Rock Band, so all of your downloaded songs will already be in the game. Not only that, but they also announced that you can pay a small fee to transfer all of the songs on the Rock Band disc to the game, so you don't have to switch discs.
The also said that there will be new peripherals, including a better drum kit and guitar. The old drum kit was good, but broke way too often. Some of the artists that have been included (all master recordings), include; Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Offspring, System of a Down, Steve Miller, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Bon Jovi, and others. The soundtrack is very diverse including just about every genre you can think of. They even included Duran Duran and the Go-Go's. So overall this is probably going to kill Guitar Hero: World Tour when it comes out. The drum kit for GH seems a little better, especially with the cymbals, but I'm still a huge Rock Band fan. Mainly because they stay on top of new downloadable content.
The game comes out in the middle of September, so I will definitely be on top of the list to get my copy. It should retail for around $180 with all of the peripherals. Such a great value for the entertainment and fun factor.
