Rock Band 2
Never have I had an internal conflict as big as the Guitar Hero 2 versus Rock Band 2 debate. Really, which of these two games were more influential for me? Guitar Hero 2 entered my life during a very rough period of my life and immediately became one of the few all-too-important games in my life. Rock Band 2 turned out to be a much more refined and tight gaming package, with infallible, perfect gameplay and limitless expansion via the Rock Band Store. Both games have been highly influential on me, but Rock Band 2 outdoes Guitar Hero 2 by just a bit, if only because Rock Band 2 is the brainchild of Harmonix, just as Guitar Hero 2 was, and the former is a perfect evolution of the latter.
Everything about Rock Band 2 reeks of evolution and experience. The song selection is solid, the gameplay refined to near perfection, and the overall "you're a rockstar" experience most definitely present. Rock Band 2 is all about the music first and foremost, and more than any other game, I can return to a jam session without much hesitation, with or without friends. That is a property that not many games possess, and I can only place Rock Band 2 in my top five for that notion.
Next Up: A surprisingly deep experience is found in the fields.
B3 out.
