vE3tro got their little hands on Rock Band 2, and have given the game a test drive. Hopefully this will persude some of you who are edgy about buying the game.

The first thing they did when they opened it all up was inspect the hardware. If you remember, when the first Rock Band launched, the instruments were a bit faulty, causing key sticking and other things. This time around, "ItÂ’s safe to put your Rock Band drum kit on ebay."

The complete downloadable content pack will include one song from Motley Crue ("Down At The Whisky"), one from Papa Roach ("Time Is Running Out") and one from Trapt ("Who's Going Home With You Tonight?"). Each track will be available for $0.99 on PS3 (80 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360) -- but ..."

When I first heard about Rock Band I thought it would be some cheap imitation of Guitar Hero. Upon learning more about though, I've changed my opinion. I doubt it will be too realistic and that the peripherals that come with it will last too much, given the pressure it takes to 'perform' one of the songs. The developers promise a large assortment of hits, plus additional 100 songs and full albums available on Marketplace. Looking at the screenshots, it looks a lot like Guitar Hero.

The first in-game footage of Rock Band has finally arrived and what can you say ... ??
It looks amazing ! Just think of it as Guitar Hero, but with a lot more members ^^

Dear God, I'm going to spend $200 on this game, aren't I?
