Team Xtreme | July 14, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
A load of new info on Rockband 2 has been surfaced: The news includes information on the peripherals, compatibility with Rock Band 1, and the entire track listing for the game. See the source for the full track listing and more information on the game.
- Fender Stratocaster Controller takes on a new authentic look plus adds a reinforced strum bar, quieter buttons, wireless functionality and a built in calibration tool that automatically sets your AV setup to an ideal setting for maximum rock.


- Drum set goes wireless while also featuring quieter, velocity sensitive drum pads and a metal reinforced pedal.


- Microphone showcases authentic styling and weight.


Kick up the intensity with officially licensed third party instruments from Mad Catz:


- Fender Telecaster Controller features soft buttons with lower action to help you shred faster than ever.


- Fender Bass Controller, the first bass guitar controller ever, takes the shape of the Fender P-Bass with extended length, tuning pegs and a split strum bar to replicate finger-bass style picking.


- Full-sized Squire Stratocaster Guitar Controller multiplies the authentic guitar experience by featuring a controller built into an actual Squire Stratocaster body.


- Cymbal Expansion Pack is a straightforward but amazing upgrade to the Rock Band 2 drum set featuring add-on cymbals.


Take Rock Band 2 instrument authenticity to a whole new level with a high-end peripheral from ION:


- ION Drum Rocker, a real electronic drum kit that functions as a game controller, brings the Rock Band fantasy to life featuring a simple substitution that takes the drum kit from a controller to a real instrument.

    A lot of these features are blurring the line between a videogame and an actual instrument. Still excited, but all these peripherals feel a bit excessive.

      i take it your not a musician because for it to be even close to a real instrument the guitar would have so many buttons it wouldn't even been funny because there are six strings per fret not one. also the masses no matter how good they are at a game will never be able to destroy at drums like neil pert even if they can beat rush songs on expert.

    To say that I'm excited for this game is a gross understatement. The fact that by the end of the year there will be over 500 songs, all playable in RB2, is staggering to say the least.

    Well I'm not sure about that but I do imagine they'll be expensive. So...are the pics of the drums we've seen so far, are those the actual drums or the ION drums? Just curious because the ones they showed look totally killer.
