While I prefer Rockband II to Guitar Hero any day, they are making a few more advances to come a little closer to Rockband.

The lack of ‘Neverfail’ option is the biggest drawback – plus I think interface, especially for singing, in Rockband II is far superior. The ability to have all of my songs without swapping discs is also genius (although this won’t be available on Rockband Beatles).

Either way, I am looking forward to a bunch of songs that make the $90 Aussie investment worthwhile in this still second-rate game – Kryptonite 3 – Doors Down, Lithium – Nirvana, Only Happy When It Rains – Garbage, Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana, Song 2 – Blur, Sultans of Swing – Dire Straits, You Give Love a Bad Name – Bon Jovi and Under Pressure – Queen + David Bowie.

Here’s a preview

I wanna Rock!
