Rock Band 2 - Description

Rock Band 2 is the sequel to Harmonix's breakaway hit, Rock Band. Improving on the Guitar Hero idea, Rock Band expanded the music game to include drums and vocals in addition to guitar.

Rock Band 2 allows you to customize your own character, join a band and rock out in a world tour where you travel to different cities, play gigs, unlock songs and try your hand at different challenges.
