    Nah dude. If you've ever done Rock Band with multiple people in the same room it's just like that. Everyone chooses their own difficulty per instrument, and then rocks the fuck out.

    For people who use Breakneck Speed (me), it only applies to their system which is actually sort of a bonus really.

    Oh that's cool then. My roommate and I play together offline but I wasn't sure about whether the difficulty worked the same online.

    Also, I'm really glad I got the Queens song pack. Sick Sick Sick is delightfully hard :)

    playing online in rock band 2 is essentially the same as it is playing offline, which is nice

    the only time it locks you to the same difficulty is if you're going head to head with someone and that's kind of boring anyways

    fuck that

    the whole reason i like this game is because it's cooperative!

    (also because I can have a band called The Dirt Doggs)

    Score Duel locks you to same difficulty. Tug of War lets you choose still.

    Like Score Battle vs. Pro Battle or whatever the two competitive modes in Guitar Hero were.

    yeah having everyone on the same team pretty much makes this the ultimate party game, especially since everyone can play at their own skill level

    I mean aside from the wide variety of music that pretty much guarantees everyone can find a song they like

    except when it's free like the iCarly song, which everybody should download because it is superb

    I've still got to get the newest Foo Fighters pack and a couple Roy Orbison songs. I'm probably going to wait a couple weeks until they release the joker by the steve miller band (it's not officially announced but the leak that led to that information also successfully predicted last week's and this week's DLC so...)

    oh shit and Funk #49 and Space Truckin'

    Space Truckin' is so good.

    Really wish they would go ahead and release Black Sabbath's Supernaut like they announced for-fucking-ever ago though.

    dlc is pretty much the reason I have a 360

    even though I had a wii and was pretty sure it was eventually coming out for it, I wanted to be sure I could download shit

    the best DLC surprise was barenaked ladies in the holiday pack

    I mean it's not my favorite song of theirs but I was just really happy to see them in the game at all

    DLC on the Wii is gimped though - having to change out memory cards and shit all the time...

    360, I can have my Rock Band 1 tracks and my 150+ DLC songs available to me all at the same time.

    I'm tired, I don't get the funny

    I just meant in hard, it's easy to get myself accustomed to a songs beat and hit notes accordingly

    On expert they look alien and random and I can't get into a groove rhythm whatever

    I don't know why what I said was funny

    So I had never really played RB before, but I played it in Best Buy last night.

    Oh my gosh I can't use that guitar. The fret buttons aren't on the neck, they are part of the neck. I keep my fingers partially wrapped around the guitar normally and with the RB guitar I can't really do that. I was absolutely lost.

    I really want to get RB2 though, just the disc though.

    The RB guitar fucking sucks. Mine already started falling apart after I had it for two days

    Not to mention I had to break off the battery case because the screw wouldn't come out. The thing is just horribly designed.

    I've heard that

    I have the other one, the black and white one. Oh and the tilt sensor either doesn't work or wasn't put in there at all because it hasn't worked at all.

    biggest waste of 50 dollars ever.
