Despite the fact that it sold by the bucketload to ignorant pedants who — bless ’em — didn’t know any better, Rock Band on the Wii simply wasn’t very good, by all accounts. Without access to the full online features, many fans were left feeling unimpressed with the Wii version’s inability to deliver fresh downloadable content compared to the highly robust choice on offer with the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Apparently, Harmonix knows this and has “promised” that Rock Band 2 on the Wii will be a “more competitive” experience. Not sure exactly what this means, as it seems to have come from a (probably drunken) conversation between some reps and a guy from Wired. Still, anything can be news if you’re able to stretch it longer than two paragraphs and end on a snarky, sarcasting, sniping little comment.
Here’s hoping that the Wii version of Rock Band can pull out all the stops. Lord knows it needs to up its game to the stratosphere if it’s to survive against the gaming brilliance that is Wii Music.
