Rather weird that this awesome opening to the upcoming Rock Band 2 isn’t available on any of Harmonix’s sites. Still, it’s pretty funny to see the quartet from the first game getting challenged by a new set of rockers all while “performing” Cheap Trick’s “Hello There.” This song will be on the game but I’m confident earning five stars at it is going to be a big challenge. It was the intro to CT’s album In Color with a mere length of 90 seconds.
My assessment of the first game is coming together, I like to give long-term video games more time before giving an immediate review as other publications do. Hence why the “gap” on the Wii Fit, which I need to get off my butt and use, probably more after I get recharged from the vacation (starts in two-plus days!). I am rather peeved over Xbox360 getting the sequel next week while my PS3 gets the shaft for a month. I definitely need to get my cousin Leesa’s family turned on to it, she says her son is a complete Xbox fanatic. This game could get them all involved as it has with Somara and me and our pretend band, more about them in the review. Maybe I should use the “downtime” to check out a good hockey franchise. Thanks to the built-in wireless connection, my team’s roster can be updated pronto.
I did finally find a picture of the upcoming Madcatz bass controller. Nice! The site says 83% to scale. I think the split flipper button is a big plus on how the bass is played differently from the guitar. Maybe I’ll get this for Christmas because my character Salvatore is the bassist for the band Somara leads. I know my friend Leslee will love it since she tends to play bass in our get-togethers for the game.
