The gamespot.com review of the Harmonix game, Rockband 2, is very accurate in its presumptions. The article says that the first rockband game revolutionized the way music games were played, and this is very true. No console had ever introduced an instrument other that the guitar. Rockband brought forth the drums and the microphone. I agree with tha articles stance on the Rockband 2 tracklist as well. The songs are very much more mainstream than the last game's tracklist. But i also agree that some of the songs are boring and out of touch such as the Devo song "Uncontrollable Urge". This articles is a review and focuses on gameplay and how good or bad it is.


The IGN article focuses more ont the features of the game such as online capabilities. This article glorifies Rockband 2 in every way. Unlike the first article, this one doesn't mention any flaws with the game. It only states and lists parts of the game that have been upgraded and how good they feel these upgrades are. The article lists the new clothing available for "rockers" as well as the benefits of the new World Tour online.
