Honestly, what do you think I said about Rock Band 2? Somehow, I managed to withhold my, “zomg game of the forever!!1″ comments for this Escapist review.

For the kings of rhythm gaming, is this sequel enough to satiate those who have surrendered their bank accounts in the name of downloadable content while being inviting enough for those on the fence between these near $200 dollar sequels? Hell yes, it is.

I’d like to offer a small addendum: when I wrote this review, the merchandise creation tool was nowhere in sight. This has since changed along with the photo tool, as seen on my Flickr. The Rock Band website is still not particularly functional, but at least it’s coming along.
