Rock Band 2 is from EA (Electronic Arts) and Harmonix Music Systems and is categorized as a music entertainment game. It is part of the wide craze of band games like Guitar Hero.
Rock Band, unlike Guitar Hero (except for “world tour”) includes drums with the guitars and a vocal microphone, so it is indeed more band orientated than Guitar Hero’s of the past. It is ESRB rated T for Teen for suggestive themes and lyrics. It is for one to four players (vocals, drums, and two guitars). Keeping an eye on the song choices can make this a game for the whole family to get in and have fun with.
To get these downloads for the XBOX 360, you’ll need a silver LIVE account. All owners of the XBOX 360 will get a live membership for free upon registering their system. Brand new xbox 360 members can get a free gold month as well, but with what needs to be down to get these songs, a silver membership will suffice.
