Rock Band 2!!

[Wren]

This will be released September 14th for the 360, and I've had it reserved for over a month now at my local Game Crazy.

Here is some info on it:

Gamespot E3 RB2 Coverage Video

Good info on Gamespot from some "pre E3 event" on RB2

IGN's Q&A Coverage

Most importantly, the SONG LIST!

Since my instrument of choice is the microphone, and we already have one extra guitar (ok, yeah, it doesn't work, need to send it in), I am unsure if I will get the new instrument bundle or not. I'm definitely getting the game, woot!

happy day,

Yay it's out!   I haven't played too much of it yet, but seems good so far!  Hope to play online with some of you sometime!

YAHOO!!

I haven't had as much time as I would like to play this so far, but I've gotten in about an hour and a half. So far, it's really nice. I like the 'challenges', though I wish I could tell what *exactly* I need to do in order to unlock Give It Away.

Seems like they really learned from their mistakes---it is much easier (for just me, at least) to get into the tour mode and play. Hopefully when friends come over it will be seamless for them as well.

I decided to wear something different than I usually dress my character in--a bikini top with a skull on each boobie! When I turned on the game to let Warren watch me a do a song, he sees my character and goes "Oh my, I think you need to put some more clothes on!" Haha!

Does anyone know which songs did NOT transfer over from RB1?

I thought it was nifty that the 'random' songs are pulled from the entire pool of songs, not just RB2.

I have, in my short play time, had to sing Eye of the Tiger twice, and I am not happy about it.

I just got my beat-up van and my manager. Must get more homework done so I can play more!

happy day,

wren

Yeah, I also have not had as much time to play as I would like.  And I will be traveling for almost two weeks come Saturday, so sadly a lot of it will have to wait.  Also frustrating that after a small gaming "drought" (sp?), now I have THREE games to split my time between - SPORE, RB2, and WAR. 

I am playing Tour Mode for the moment.  I also liked how seamless it was to get the RB downloadable songs into the game - I didn't do a thing, and there they were in my random songs for Tour Mode!

I assume the unlocking of songs happens from tour mode?  Or do you have to do this from Quick Play?  I haven't done any quick play yet, and my song options in Tour Mode seem limited ...
