Harmonix will rock your socks off: Rock Band 2 by jessica.lam



"Perfection of the experience," is on the agenda for the creators of Rock Band 2, after the well received debut of Rock Band 1's innovative features and team building strategies, this next game will aim to improve. Set to be released in September on the Xbox, this game will add a couple new features that will make the fans just that much more appreciative:


The second edition will feature a playlist of over 80 songs — all master recordings — which will include more female-fronted bands and artists who have never contributed tunes to a music game.

If you've already downloaded a song for the original "Rock Band" — at about $1.99 per track, which can't be transferred to an MP3 player — it will immediately be loaded into your "Rock Band 2" song list without needing to be repurchased or re-downloaded. It's the first time such retroactive compatibility has been introduced in a music game.

"It's the No. 1 most-requested feature from our fans," said Rigopulos.

 
Growing fast and furious, there is nothing more indicative of it's success than reaching a high of 15 million in sales since it launched in November 2007.
