Rock Band 2 this September will unveil the second phase of the platform that forever changed the face of music games. The nation of fans who became living-room superstars with the original release of Rock Band can now expect to find even more of the features that hooked them on the game.
More Music: An all-new, all-master soundtrack of classic songs spanning 40 years of rock'n'roll history.
More Instruments: Rock Band 2 features newly designed guitar and drum peripherals, with spiffier detail and a more realistic playing experience. These are all fully compatible with the original Rock Band instruments.
More Online Options: New ways to connect with other Rock Band players from across your street and around the world.
Full backwards compatibility: Any downloadable songs you've bought since Rock Band's original release will automatically join your Rock Band 2 songlist.
Rock Band was the first music game to introduce multiple instruments and co-operative gameplay. Rock Band 2 will take the experience to new levels, allowing greater connectivity and more ways for players to get immersed in rock life. And of course, Rock Band's unequalled library of downloadable songs will only grow in weeks to come. From heavy metal to classic rock to essential punk, Rock Band 2 will offer a generation of rockers a new way to experience the music they love.
