Rather than feeling like a completely new game, however, Rock Band 2 feels more like an extension of its predecessor, rather than a sequel. Rock Band 2 improves on Rock Band in many ways, but unfortunately also falls short in some aspects.
Once again, players can choose to play guitar, drums, or vocals. Players on guitar may either select lead guitar or bass guitar. The gameplay for each instrument is nearly identical to Rock Band, but there are a few differences in the Rock Band 2 experience. Vocals have been made easier. The game appears more lenient with singing, and now also allows any noise at all during talky parts (with no pitch) to score full credit for the phrase. Players may notice that drums are harder overall. The difficulty increases much earlier than in original Rock Band. Guitar also has received an increase in difficulty, but this increase in number of difficult songs. Rock Band 2 has significantly more difficult songs on guitar than Rock Band had. A new feature to Rock Band 2's guitar is that of hammer-on chords, which may take players some time to get used to. Lastly, Rock Band 2 contains a greater number of songs with bass lines that won't bore you to death. If you love playing bass, you'll be happy to find there are many songs that are actually more fun on bass than on guitar. Whichever instrument you choose to play, you are almost guaranteed to find a song you like, especially since the number of songs available increase every week via Xbox Live Marketplace."
