By GameSpot posted an article today on the new features of Rock Band 2 that Harmonix showed off at the pre-E3 event in Los Angeles. Being a huge Rock Band enthusiast myself, and on a team for it, I quickly jumped in to the article and started analyzing it.
Here are some great features that Harmonix is going to have in Rock Band 2 aside from the 80+ songs that will be on the disk itself.
- Online Band World Tour Mode.
- Full DLC Backwards Compatibility.
- Tour Challenge mode replacing Solo Tour.
- Battle of the Bands online game mode.
Along with this information, Harmonix announced the first 10 of 80+ songs that are going to be on Rock Band.
- “Ace of Spades” — Motörhead
- “Everlong” — Foo Fighters
- “Pinball Wizard” — The Who
- “Panic Attack” — Dream Theater
- “Any Way You Want It” — Journey
- “Chop Suey” — System of a Down
- “Kids in America” — The Muffs
- “Give It Away” — Red Hot Chili Peppers
- “Hello There” — Cheap Trick
- “Pump It Up” — Elvis Costello
The list is looking fantastic. Long time fans will praise the new appearance of Dream Theater. Other popular songs on the list include “Pinball Wizard” and “Any Way You Want It” by The Who and Journey, respectively.
Well, today has been a good day for rhythm gamers everywhere. Harmonix has shown that they will not stand aside while Activision attempts to steal their thunder. I’m really looking forward to Rock Band 2, which will be hitting stores in September. Check out the attached link for the full article.
