...Finally after a year of the game being out us poor old British Wii owners get to join in with the revolution that is ?Rock Band 2?. The game is part of the ever increasing range of music and rhythm based genre games that have sprung up around us in the recent years. Having always been a big fan of the first game I was overjoyed when the sequel made its way into our household, as it made available a lot of features that were up till now reserved only for the likes of the PS3 and Xbox 360 owners. The game has again been produced by the company Harmonix who are the guys behind the original ?Rock Band? title as well as creating the original ?Guitar Hero? series which would then be taken over by Neversoft.

...kids despite its technological 'age', it's not hard to see why Playstation is as successful as it is. What is it that keeps attracting the customers to the Playstation though? -----Price----- Well, to put it bluntly, it is cheap. The console itself can be purchased with 3 or 4 games for as low a price as £90 nowadays, and the games often dirtcheap. I have seen some games offered for as £2.50 firsthand, which is amazing value when compared to the likes of N64, which, despite being a fairly old console in itself, is still charging up to £50-£60 per cartridge. For young and old game-lovers alike, this console is a great way to get some entertainment without having to fork out too much. Fun games with relatively decent graphics at low prices have to be a must for all game lovers, and this console is certainly preferable over... Read review
