GamePlay Unlimited

The USA Today has re-published a story it ran last week that stated the Wii version of Rock band 2 will not have the same online and song downloading capabilities as the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Apparently the USA Today was contacted by Harmonix and updated on the game's status. " while "unannounced," MTV games has confirmed that  Rock Band 2  for the Wii will "offer the same online functionality -- i.e. song downloads and Internet multiplayer modes -- as the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 versions." Good to hear if you were considering picking RB2 up for the Wii.

Surprise, surprise Rock Band 2 has been announced. With the "best setlist I've ever seen in a music game" Rock Band 2 is going to put some serious pressure on the Guitar Hero Franchise. The game is set to release on the Xbox 360 in September and the Playstation 2 & 3, as well as the Wii later in the year. IGN has an interview with Dan Teasdale, lead designer for RB2, and he listed quite a few impressive features aimed to help Rock band chip away at the Guitar Hero fanbase. Some of the important features are as follows: *Rock Band 1 DLC will be playable in Rock Band 2 and vise-versa. *Teasdale says "we've also secured what I can easily say is the best setlist I've ever seen in a music game." *New navigation improvements are included to make the game "party safe." *Rock band 1's instruments are all compatible, although improvements have been made for Rock band 2's hardware.
