 : 70 th | | | Rock Band Gets Release Date, New Guitar
Rock Band 2, the obvious sequal to Rock Band finally gets official.  Quote: |

This time around, it seems the Xbox 360 will be getting a jump on things with a launch in September, with the PS3 version set to follow "later in the year." Both of those will, naturally, be coming with all new instruments, including the tasty Fender Stratocaster pictured above, but you will be able to use your current gear if you want to spare the extra clutter and save a few bucks. What's more, you'll also be able to carry over all your current downloaded content and, as IGN reports, you'll even be able to download and play new tracks on Rock Band 1 once Rock Band 2 is out. Of course, Harmonix is saving most of the details for E3 next month, but you can find a few more tidbits in IGN's interview with Harmonix's Dan Teasdale available at the read link below.

: 69 th | | | the rockband guitars are really lame. also the interface is as well. The only thing I like about rock band is the different instruments. For just rocking out with a guitar, guitar hero is much better.

The only thing I really hate about RB that GH3 has down really well are the hammer-ons. Hopefully RB2 will improve them. |

| yup, the hammer ons and pull offs for rock band were even harder than in GH1, and thats saying something. The x-plorer guitar i got with GH2 is still my fave.
