10 Things I Like or Hate about.... Rock Band 2
Posted 30-11-08 at 07:23 PM by Bumhug360
- LIKE: Guns n' Roses Shackler's Revenge, More Gn'R please
- LIKE: Rock Band songs can be imported. Costs 400 MS points mind you but still considering all the tracks you get thats a bargain
- HATE: Its Rock Band 1.1 There just isn't enough new in it. But saying that the amount of new tracks you get in it does justify the purchase
- HATE: No instruments on UK launch. Sucks, as have to use the crappy non working GH ones
- HATE: Stupid Career mode. Unlike GHWT you can choose the difficulty on a track (unless you are playing a set list). About half way through the game you get told you need to move up a level in difficulty as from now on you will get less fans. This is a major kick in the bollocks, firstly you have got all the easy songs out of the way and now the tracks get harder, to add another button in to the mix as well and speed things up presents you with a massive brick wall. Plus if you are playing in a band the worst player is the one this is based on, so if no one is any good at the drums and you drew a short straw on who is the drummer this is the time you invite one less friend round to play....]
- HATE: Challenges. On paper sounds good, every now and again venues will hold a challenge. The idea of this is you play the challenge against other players on line, there is a time limit of a couple of days and band with the highest score at the end wins. Sounds good, well this weekend I found 3 challenges each one needed me to buy songs on line to take part. Its not like they were good songs either so get the impression all the shit songs no one buys on line end up in challenges so mugs go out and buy them
- HATE: Extended album versions, not as bad as GHWT though
- HATE: Don't know whats in set lists, you get told how many songs you need to play but no idea what they are. This causes two problems, firstly you could pick hard difficulty and get 4 easy songs then the fifth is one of the hardest in the game, you fail and lose fans. Secondly you have no idea how long its going to take, 4 songs could take 15 minutes or 30
- LIKE: Presentation is good, its a basic game but it still looks like it belongs on this current gen of consoles and not a ps2
- LIKE: Something, don't know what it is but despite the negatives its still a game I really like
