amazing!
Got this for Christmas. Game play is great. Everything works perfectly. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Fun Game but the Microphone Broke
Rock Band 2 has been a fun game for all my friends. However, after about nine hours of total play, the microphone stopped registering sound without apparent reason in the middle of a song. Tried all sorts of troubleshooting, but it's broken. Had to spent 40 minutes on hold with EA games to start the complicated return process. Hopefully the return goes through without a hitch and we can resume playing again. It will take at least two weeks to get the new mic though. Bottom line: fun game, disappointing and frustrating hardware problems.

ROCK ON!!!
This game rocks if you're playing by yourself or with others. It is a lot of fun and improved over the last edition. If you like this type of game you will love Rock Band 2.
