Rock Band 2 On Display
Engadget has a first look at the new Rock Band 2 gear, with plenty of pics. The guitars have a new optical sensor to make syncing with your TV much easier, and it also includes a look at the awesome Ion drum kit.
Rock Band 2 is going to be fully compatible with downloaded content from the original game, and is more of an evolution than a revolution, but I have to say it appears to be evolving in the right direction. The new game come with 200 tracks, including the songs from the first iteration, and will allow players to create custom set lists, even in quick play mode, as well as offer an easier to navigate song menu.
Online play will include new online solo world tours, as well as a Battle Of The Bands feature.
I personally can’t wait til the Ion drum kit is available, with individually adjustable drum heads, and three cymbals to boot.
There’s plenty more pics at the link.
That ION Drum Kit will be mine. OH YES…it will be mine.
