While it is hard to complain about this game compared to Rock Band (and it is practically a copy of Rock Band) there are a few noticable things that are worth noting. One is that you can CREATE A ROCKER on this PS2 version which you could not on the ps2 rock band which is freakin sweet. You can also activate your star power on the drums at any time (done by hitting the yellow and blue on the rock band drums) but this means the drum fills are a bit silly and are in weird places. I also think this career mode is way better than the rock band ps2 one for no particular reason other than it feels better. But the big difference is the huge amount of songs! But be warned – it is harder than Rock Band
