3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly Disappointing, December 5, 2008

By 

Mrs. B "Preschool Teacher" (West Valley City, UT) - See all my reviews

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Rock Band Track Pack: Vol. 2 (Video Game)

First, I should say that if you liked the first Rock Band and you liked Track pack volume one (for the Wii), you will most likely enjoy this too. The game play is EXACTLY the same.

For some reason with this particular installment of Rock Band, the game doesn't fit the TV screen of our console-style TV(not HDTV). It's too big...

Why does that matter?
It's a lot harder to tell when you are missing the notes. The very bottom row of buttons (that glow red when you miss the note) are hidden in the depths of your TV screen. It tends to fit the screen a bit better when you are playing solo. We tried calibrating our system to see if that would help with the screen problem, but it didn't help...

Which leads me to my second complaint, the calibration is a pain in the butt. It is much different than RB and the first track pack (where you just selcet the type of TV you have and you are done). This track pack is much more "deluxe" in the calibration. You choose the drums or guitar to beat or strum during your calibration, but it's unclear if you are supposed to do it at the EXACT same time as you hear the beat or if you are supposed to do it right after. Then, after you have re-calibrated, there is no way to go back to the defalt settings through the Rock Band Menu. You have to go all the way out of the game, and go into your Wii menu and delete everything saved under that title. (meaning you loose ALL of your bands, scores, unlocked songs, etc)

My third complaint is that the songs aren't as clean. It seems like there are more songs that swear and have questionable subject matter than in the first RB and the first track pack.

Bottom line: I'm glad we have 20 new songs to play, but I'm disapointed in the way the game fits the screen and the calibration. I'm not as happy with the songs either.

Songs included in this track pack: Avenged Sevenfold: Afterlife, Blondie: Call me, Weezer: El Scorcho, Devo: Girl U Want, Maximo Park: Girls Who Play Guitars, Disturbed: Indestructable, Angels and Airwaves: It Hurts, The Cars: Just What I Needed, The Police: Message in a Bottle, Pixies: Monkey Gone to Heaven, Duran Duran: Rio, Motley Crue: Saints of Los Angeles, Lynyrd Skynrd: Simple man, Red Hot Chili Peppers: Snow (Hey Oh), Nine Inch Nails: The Perfect Drug, Fall Out Boy: This Ain't a Scene, Papa Roach: Time is running out, Garbage: Why Do You Love Me, Judas Priest: You've Got Another Thing Comin', Smashing Pumpkins: Zero

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Rock Band Track Pack: Vol. 2 (Video Game)

This is the second track pack with 20 new songs but the songs are rougher in content and more for the adult audience as for the language. You get some real good songs but mixed in is a few not so good songs for the younger ones. I know it is for teens and up but some of the words in some of these songs arent fit for adults. I guess that once you unlock all the songs by playing them once you dont have to play the ones you dont like. For the most part it is a good disc if you just skip over those few songs. This is just my opinion and as you know everyone has one so the songs I dislike you might enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with Guitar Hero Peripherals, February 20, 2011

It's just more songs for Rock Band, but the description is wrong. This game is not compatible with Guitar Hero peripherals. You must have the Rock Band specific guitar and drums to play this game. Also Wii owners BEWARE: There is no song export on the Wii.
