Dang it. Wish I could but don't even have a Wii. Just a DS.

ghwt guitar works on rb2 right? will join you next year =/

Yes it works , i was using GHWT's guitar on RB2 yesterday

Eh no one play tis fantastic game ka ?

they play, but on ps3 =/

hmmm, lol, i wonder how well does this game looks like on the wii..will it be as nice as ps3's graphics? or maybe a bit less in quality..?

It is better than GHWT graphic , thats all i can say

I play, i play! Just like paige, i'm also using GH instruments; god bless harmonix for working out the compatibility.

The store needs more songs!

my internet is not that fast for this few days so cant really connect to WFC..but i manage to download crushcrushcrush and shockwave!awesome songs!love using the drums!i will post my friend code when my internet is good again

Okie will add u tomorrow ~ cos i just finish killing myself just now with it ~ i wonder how to bloody press with my last finger ~ sorry im new to RB and GH with guitar games

I was trying hard mode on RB2 just now for 1 hour 23 minutes , and i just improve or do u call that by luck ... 80-90% ratings zzzzzzzzzzz SAD man

I was looking at my last finger really abit too short and cacat liddat , abit slow and harder to bend compares to my other fingers ...zzzzzzz .. im suffering in hard mode

You're venturing into the realm of 5-finger fretting already! A lot of friends whom i introduced the game to tend to be scared of it and just stay on medium for a long, long time.

Don't kill your pinky on the orange notes. Rest your hand so that the index finger is on red instead of green, and let that agile finger jump up to green instead of forcing your poor little pinky to jump down to orange.

Yah i understand thats what i did lo
my index finger rest on red and jumps to green ... but i seriously need practise

Gosh a friend asked me to play with him just now and i forgotten to add u , nub , will surely add u by tomorrow

I in FC is 2907 0162 9892
RB2 Here I come!

Added on the list ... nice playing with u ... will try again with u in hard mode soon ... let me kill my fingers first yah

who notices the graphics when all you're looking at are colored notes falling, haha. Sorry, I play on the PS3

I thought only the NyKo ones are compatible with both games?

Added on January 20, 2009, 10:19 pmMe too, but I only play the GH:WT. Can't afford Rock Band 2 set.

This post has been edited by latias93: Jan 20 2009, 10:19 PM

Yup 100% compatible with RB2 using with GH guitar
Not sure about Nyko though , only had GHWT guitar

If the controller works with GH3, it should work with RB2. My bandkit consists of a GH3 les paul, a GHWT genericaster, a GHWT drumkit, and a GH labeled usb microphone. I got the game-only RB2. if you can afford to spare rm180~, get the game. The game play leaves GHWT feeling really really bland.

Guitar tracks are still awesomer in GHWT, though!

Errrr means the GHWT drum compatible with RB2 ka?
Thought of getting it one day .....

Drumming on Rock Band is still superior, IMHO. Being a real drummer, having to hit the cymbals to activate star power is quite disorientating as it throws you off your beat. Drum fills are way superior.

Yeah, GHWT drums work with RB, but you don't get to use one pad since RB has only 4 note highways.

To be more precise, the orange cymbal acts as one of these, connected to the blue pad. It registers as the blue note hit, but makes a different sound in fills and freestyle.

I would've personally liked it if it was treated like a green cymbal expansion, makes hitting the crash more realistic, not to mention letting me use low toms in free style.

Guys , im looking to buy a Mic for Wii , isit compatible with all the games like Rock band 2 , Guitar hero world tour , guitar hero 3 , American Idol Encore , and etc ???

here's my friend code

drums(hard) and guitar(hard,expert) 3465-3618-4505

and i already added all the guys in this topic!hope to see you guys online!

Bravo ! nice
Add all of us and we should play as a band

Just tried on Guitar Hero Aerosmith - hmmm not so interesting

This post has been edited by PaiGeWonG: Jan 22 2009, 10:40 PM

yeah!we all should have some time to play together!all of us!and yeah..aerosmith isnt much of a game but suited for an expansion pack...to answer your question on the mic..i think you can buy any mic which is usb compatible..so i guess if you can find a mic that's usb you use it with no problem at all

OO thanks for the help

Where can we get the Rock Band 2 bundle? Are the drums really rm400+ ???

just the drum , i guess u can get it from PLay Asia for about RM4XX

Anyone know where else I can pick up Rock Band 2 full bundle? Play Asia doesn't seem to stock at the moment

i'm already added all of you guys!if you guys wanna play can pm me!i usually play around 3-5 if i'm not going out...i'll be on again from 8/9-10/11...will be waiting for you guys!

This post has been edited by PaiGeWonG: Jan 27 2009, 11:46 PM

ahahaha!its ok...i also never play properly because i was talking to my friend on the phone.really?he was online?i didnt know...he never add me yet..only you so far..you should download the 20 free songs!i only download "bounce" and "i'm gone, i'm going" and the rest are the songs i pay for it...you better download those 2 songs!very nice to play and listen at the same time!

I wonder how

I haven't gotten to my wii to add kalnet's code yet. I'll be back home this weekend to do that.

In the mean time, if you see me online, that's probably one of my younger brothers or sisters. Invite them to play, it wouldn't hurt; they play mostly hard/expert guitar or bass and medium/hard drums.

OOO ic , no wonder i saw ur id in RB2 yesterday online ~

Oh so sad , only 2-3 person playing this game ?
Anymore?

i've stop playing drums at the moment because something is wrong with the yellow cymbal.keeps on doing double notes even i hit it one time and cause the orange cymbal to hit blue and yellow notes at the same time...so now i'm planning on buying RB2 drums from someone but i cant buy in play-asia unless someone can buy for me and i will pay the person before-hand...hohoho...so anyone still wanna play with me i'm welcome to play guitar and bass with you guys!

oooo ic
Abit too pro le u for me
im still struggling in hard mode with practise lol

haha!its ok...when you play with me can still practise at the same time..

Any other players goes online with RB2 in lyn ?
Add us in first page and let us know thanks hehe

Bump for things to happen !

hey guys i'm just curious. how much does it cost for the full set of rock band (drums, guitar, mike) and where can i buy it from? thanks!

Hi PaigeWong,

I only have the GHWT guitar. I came across the RB2 (game only), and was thinking of buying, however i stop short when i remembered this article below.

http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/11/official-guitar.html

According to this article, the Wii GHWT guitar is NOT compatible with the Rock Band 2 game. I am reallly confuse now because as i browse somemore, there are other articles that says Wii GHWT guitar IS COMPATIBLE with Rock Band 2 game. Note that i am not asking about Rock band 2 guitar being not compatible with GHWT, coz i know it is not. And i am not asking about the Drum sets, coz i don't have the drums yet so it is irrelevant to the query.

But according to you it is compatible. I will believe you instead of the above website because you do have the Wii GHWT guitar and both the games (GHWT and Rock band 2). Just want to confirm with you one more time before i make my purchase.

Thanks in advance for your confirmation.

Yes 100% the GHWT 's guitar is compatible for Rockband 2 but not Rockband 1 for WII

OR take a look at this chart below
http://www.joystiq.com/Instrument-Compatibility-Matrix/

k. thanks. will buy it then!

hey guys....how bout GH3 guitar? Is it compatible with RB2?

Hi.. Was wondering if you guys ever meet up in person to play? I'd love to band play.. but don't prefer doing it online as my bandwidth is totally sucked up by animes..

and yeah.. You can use GH3 guitars to play rockband2..

Just got my rock band 2 gameonly. Played it about 3 hours so far. Generally, rock band is more structured, and a better career. But i do notice rock band 2 is generally easier for guitar. The 'goreng' quality in GHWT is superior, and harder too. But they both ok lah. If everything goes well, i will get my GHWT drums next week, so i can compare the drums after that. And yes GHWT drums works for Rock band 2 for Wii, but not the other way round.

Yah and RB2 has mysterious set list which only unlocking the list of songs and it will only appear

Hmmm i was trying to connect online with this game yesterday but i couldnt at all ... keep telling me failed to connect
Then i tried mario kart wii , dr.mario online , ghwt ... all ready to go ... is just this RB2 couldnt connect online yesterday ... anyone was facing the same problem too ?

Normally i have no problem with it....

With the new Wii 4.0 update, we can use SDHC up to 32 gig.

However RB2 cannot detect my Transcend 16GB (Bought it for only RM129 at Luyat) Wii itself can detect it and I can run VC off this card.

Anyone else have problem with RB2 not detecting their SDHC?

hmmm, i am still using my 2GB SD card. Still not full yet leh. Have u tried a 2GB card if it works? If works, then it is RB2 software really does not recoginize 32 gb cards coz it may not use Wii system services to operate the card. Afterall RB2 was released before the 4.0 update.

This should be noted for people out there who is thinking like you (including me).

My old 2 gig card works fine with RB2. Just my new SDHC 16 gig not working.

So now I have to swap card everytime I wanted to play RB2.

I can't even get the 4.0 update. The servers keep timing out on me.

I have yet to try the online tour mode, what does it do?

What I did is bring my Wii to office every time wanna download updates or songs.

Online Tour Mode is that you play gig with up to 3 others online. Never tried it though.

well, you both have the game.

lordie, how much was GH punya RB2?

The disc itself was RM 185. Corez, I think I'll try bringing the wii to the office also. Pity there's not a way to download the updates to a thumbstick or something.

Online tour sounds fun. Maybe we should try that one of these days, tapi that means I can only play songs we both have right?

I don't see that as a problem since you both can already play 80 songs in the first place. And GH's price is cheap too.

Argh crud. More money flying. Great. And I have a business to run. Dang.

@kyo: you're right. I'm still on medium most of the time tho. Dah rusty nak tukar tukar fret for hard.

At least I can play some songs on HARD with RB2. GHWT I cannot at all

the trainer for RB2 is great tho, can practice on lower BPM till we get the hang of changing frets. GHWT memang takboleh punya, susah gila

good question. I also don't know. I thought u can play with other people, but always nobody to play with. But what i know your scores will be updated to rockband.com (if you have registered) for the whole world to see.

eh ramz, when u want to buy my GH Metallica.

iklan ini dibawa oleh Kedai Kyo!

GH metallica i dont dare buy yet until i can beat RB2 on hard and expert.

RB2 is easier than GHWT. GHWT can kill you. Honest. Its much worst than GH3. So Metallica is basically for those who can nick the last songs in GHWT.

But still, even if you can't beat Through Fire and Flames, you can still play metallica and finish it.

Why u don't like meh? How dare u don't like.

Can talk about this on this thread ah? nanti others marah. maybe u PM me.

Guys. Where can i buy rockband full set in Malaysia and how much does it cost?

There is no fullset for Rock Band 2 Wii. Sadly.

Ramz, go check the Metallica thread lah on what I wrote for ya. btw, I'm a a seller, and need to get 2 more copies sold. This is the only time it will be cheap. after this, it will be very expensive.

hi guys i'm wanna ask can i play rockband2 only with guitar on wii,cuz i dont have mic and drum.

yeah sure.

i just bought GHWT set for RM690... omg i absolutely love this game.. yet to master the drums coz i think is dammn hard.. guitar is alright...

btw does anyone know how i can load songs in? where can i get those songs?

Welcome. yeah same here. when i bought this game i have no idea how much it would change my life. My wife is now complaining. And we are always fighting for the TV. Now must book the TV in advance. Terrible addiction la. The guitar feels like you playing a game, which is fun. But the drums, is something else. Espeically if you have no drumming experience like me. The drums feel like you playing just that, the DRUMS....doesn't feel like u playing a game.

Yes you can lown load songs from the online music store within the game (you cannot download anywhere else, so don't try browsing the rockband.com site for it). You will need an internet connection, and an SD card to store your songs. Some songs are free (i think you can download 20 free songs for RB2 and 4 songs for GHWT), and the others you pay 2 USD per song through Wii points. Hope that helps

heheh u should get ur wife to play the game with you.. i am playing this game together with my bf.. hahah i play the guitar and he plays the drums..

owh, u bought Rock band and GHWT? Neat.

My wife is old fashion. she only plays wii sports n boogie superstar. rock music not her type, and bla bla bla.... so i play by myself lor. RB2 btw is a good for drum training. It has drum trainer which trains you through the various beats. think it is better than taking drum lessons. and i like RB2 practice better coz u can repeat the song unlimitted times without stopping. In GHWT u can't do that. GHWT is more training unfriendly, but i love the song lineup.

My wife usually goes on the drums or easy on guitar if I'm on drums. We're waiting to buy another guitar for bass, and then my brother can join in.

whos singing?

That one hasn't been decided

I saw third party drums already up for sale at some shops

Should really get this game. Sounds like tons of fun.

I noticed them quite a while already. Just wasn't sure for which console. But I wouldn't really get them. Like my PS2's topway guitar, the quality can be based on pure luck.

Once I get my guitar, I'm running to GH and getting this one.

hahaha i used to have a topway guitar. No whammy bar, buttons swapped places, needed to use a ps2 controller to select songs

BTW, my friend who has entropay has confirmed that he is no longer able to reload cash. Looks like Wii or 360 is the only places where you can get DLC.

I'm good with 80 songs on the PS3. but Wii gets special treatment. haha.

Don't tell me you don't wanna get PJ's ALive??

Pearl Jam? tak layan sgt. But I do need Serj Tankian's Beethoven's C*nt. I'm gud with the guitar. But the drums, lain cerita.

Whah tak layan PJ. Must be the age difference LOL

Yes, I'm way too young. Eh. The RB2 store does give a sample listen right?

Hmm good question. I haven't tried yet, just scrolled through. Will try tonight.

I think it can, because the other console versions are possible. This one shouldn't be any different. How big are the songs really?

Er roughly a few hundred blocks each. Haven't started to download yet

my gudness, penuh lah the wii on its own.

No prob, save in the SD can what, rockband 2 supports SD

Now with the SYstem update 4.0 you can have 2gigs worth of RB2 songs on one card.

i tot its 32? LOL
