[GS]RockBand 2 Multiplayer Hands-On
Quote:
Unless you've been locked in a cave for the past year or so, you've probably heard about Rock Band. The game capped Boston-based developer Harmonix's six-year journey to hip the Western gaming world to the allure of rhythm-based games. While Harmonix's efforts with the original Guitar Hero games may have cracked the door open in the States, Rock Band drove a tour bus through it and beckoned your friends over to make themselves at home. The game sold incredibly well last Christmas, especially considering its hefty price tag and music shop's worth of peripherals. Rather than rest on its laurels, however, the ambitious developer is prepping Rock Band 2, a proper sequel, to hit stores next month. How do you follow up a game like Rock Band? We decided to find out by digging into a new, work-in-progress version of the Xbox 360 game to taken an exclusive hands-on look.
If you've played the original game, you should be right at home with what Rock Band 2 has to offer. You'll still find the same basic top-level modes--Quickplay, Tour, and Training--along with extras and the music store. Quickplay offers four further options--Solo Quickplay, Band Quickplay, Tug of War, and Duel--that let you duke it out with frenemies far and wide. The game has been tweaked to offer more customization, so you'll be able to switch instruments on your custom characters and adjust song lists.
