With just over 2 weeks until Rock Band 2 ships for the Xbox 360, are ya wondering which songs will be the hardest on drums? Easiest on vocals?

While it may be old news to some, I’m betting there are quite a few of you out there who haven’t heard the latest confirmations from both Microsoft & Sony concerning instrument controller compatibility between the big upcoming music games.
With the controller “lock-out” between Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, many music gamers are loathe to purchase multiple full new setups this fall when the newest titles and equipment debut in order to play each game to its capacity. Well, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 owners can now put those fears to rest:
Thanks to posts located HERE at the official Playstation blog, and HERE at the Gamerscore (Official Xbox) blog, both companies have confirmed that any instrument controller from Rock Revolution, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Rock Band 2 will work between all 3 games. Now, instead of buying everything, you can make the choice you want, knowing you will be able to play everything with little hassle.
Or you can wait and see what our Rockin’ Reviewer, Cena, has to say about the new equipment once he gets his hands on them. I’m curious to see how much of the new gear he’s gonna spring for, and where he’s gonna put it all!
With the upcoming release of Rock Band 2, the continued debate over which system will offer the most bang for your buck continues to heat up. Many people continue to press the point that the PS2 and Wii versions of the game will be inferior to their PS3 & 360 counterparts, due to their lack of gameplay features.
We’ve heard the complaints regarding no DLC, no online play and no character creation/customization. As a current owner of all four of the above consoles, I’d have to agree that those complaints are valid, at least in regard to Rock Band 1. However, in an article published on Wired.com, author Chris Kohler claims that he was told by Harmonix reps (unnamed in the article) at last month’s E3, that “the Wii version of Rock Band 2 will be a much more competitive product.”

Taken from Harmonix’s press release, and from our earlier “Rock Band 2 Features” story, there’s an important piece of info that you may have skipped over if you didn’t read carefully. 84 songs on a disc is a LOT of rockin’ to get through, but Harmonix wanted to have over 100 songs included from the get go! Due to time constraints, the amount of tracks got cut down. However, the upside of this is that those cut tracks will be available this fall (presumably on release day) as FREE downloadable content!

If you’ve gotten the latest issue of Game Informer magazine like me (or you’ve cheated and seen the screen shots on the Scorehero forums!) you’ve learned more specific details about the much awaited sequel to Rock Band coming this Fall. If you haven’t gotten the mag in the mail yet and don’t wanna wait, here are some of the details on all the new features (being announced today at E3!) that this non-gamer girl found impressive.
An article published by IGN Friday revealed that, in conjunction with Major League Baseball’s All-Star Week festivities next week, an upcoming Xbox LIVE edition of their fabled “Game With Fame” series will feature New York Yankees pitcher, Joba Chamberlain. Xbox LIVE users have the opportunity to take him on in Activision’s latest, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
To take part in the fun, make sure to send a friend request to gamertag JobaGWF by 6:30pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, July 16th. Then fire up the game, check your friend list and rock out!
As speculation continues to be fast & furious, we here at RockGamer are jumping on the bandwagon, and bringing you more rumored information on Rock Band 2’s set list. Please keep in mind that all of this is rumor, and NOT to be taken as fact for now.
We’ll have to wait patiently for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) next week for any confirmation. The following information was taken from an article posted on Kotaku.
