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.

Wii Rock Band 2 Special Edition
Lots of fun for my teenager. Too bad it’s rated T. I would like to see a “Rock Band” version that’s rated E for everyone. [....]. I’m not sure I’d be willing to pay more than that.

There is no doubt that music games have really dominated with the Nintendo Wii this past year. While there were some bright spots that cma eout this past year with the Guitar Hero franchise. It really has driven more gamers into the need to rock out loud, brilliantly. But, for this past year, I really did wish that could’ve honestly been the same with Rock Band. After the first one which came out earlier this year, many Wii gamers were a bit dissapointed with not just the fact that weren’t as many of the features that matched the stamina of the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions, but the fact that it also lagged behind, with the missed opportunities of having any online gameplay, and the ability to download songs onto the Wii. Now, there is a second chance to see this Rock Band shine onto the Wii’s hearts, but is it worth it, or just a bunch of sour grapes?
Rock Band 2 for the Nintendo Wii tries to bring the appeal from what had occured strongly from the PS3 and 360 editions of Rock Band, and re-introduces the appeal for the Nintendo Wii. Mostly here, that is done as a much better job the second time around here. What has improved on the game well is not just the graphics, but with the ability of the Nintendo Wii to have the opportunity to download music and added contect onto the game for the system, which not only is a good thing, but it feels like it catches up and hopefully will let those Wii buffs, say I want to rock out loud.
The song play list isn’t as diverse as Guitar Hero: World Tour showed, but there are some great classics here like Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer, Journey’s Anyway You Want It and guilty pleasures like Survivor’s Eye Of The Tiger and the Red Hot Chili Peppers 1991 mega-anthem Give It Away. Still there are a few surprises like Bob Dylan’s Tangled Up In Blue and the funky one-hit wonder of The Presidents Of The United States Of America with Lump. But with extra songs along the way, especially with 30 songs for downloading at the start and hopefully more later through the Wii shop, or Wiiware, there will be more joy for Wii gamers to rock out loud. The graphics improve nicely, while the gameplay feels like it is more interactive than before, through the new improved music equipment and gameplay. The graphics and control feels a bit more mainstreamed for those who want a second chance to jam to their favorite, who were either disgrunted from before with the original version and the idea of just buying those $30 track packs on discs seperately.
All in all Rock Band 2 for the Nintendo Wii, isn’t as diverse musically with the songs to strum to as was the case with Guitar Hero: World Tour, but the game itself has improved well, and gives Wii owners a fresh chance to hopefully see and thrive on the full Rock Band experience in a light it had missed out on before for the Wii. I liked the feel of it, but I hope there is more to come.
