Rock Band 2

Rock Band 2 is the sequel to the 2007 music simulation game Rock Band and offers similar gameplay. The game is in direct competition with Guitar Hero: World Tour and allows different people to play together as in a band, with the same peripherals as in the first game: lead guitar, bass guitar, microphone and a drum kit. The new drum and guitar controllers for this version, available bundled or separately, have been redesigned and older controllers are also supported. The guitar controller, modeled after the Fender Stratocaster, has five additional fret buttons near the neck for quick finger tapping sessions. There is also an effects switch to toggle between five different effects. Players use the instruments to hit the notes on the screen, which are divided into different sections for the different instruments, along with lyrics for the singers to hit the pitch.
