Rock Band - Best Cooperative Game Ever
Our downstairs neighbors, who are our very very good friends are moving away. They’re huge karaoke addicts and so we got them a fun parting gift: Rock Band for the PS2. This game is so much fun, it’s painful. Obviously, I know people have liked it, and Guitar Hero has been a big hit, but I’ve never tried it. What’s really, really neat, though is that it is the best cooperative gaming setup I’ve ever seen. With the exception of minigames in Mario Party type games, cooperative play is pretty meager over all. In Rock Band, however, everyone is on equal footing and contributing to the experience. It’s pretty awesome. We pulled it out at a little house party and everyone jumped in. We’re planning a “battle of the bands” at an upcoming party where the bands are selected out of a hat and everyone has to do each instrument for at least one song. It should be pretty hilarious. The only disappointment is that all of the new downloadable content won’t be available for the PS2 version. We’re already itching for new songs.
