Old (and new) fans of Sonic can really get into the new game. It has a retro feel that makes me go back to the days when I used to play Sonic on my cousin, Christopher’s, Sega!

So, what do you think of the new Sonic Chronicles? For those old enough to remember, does it remind you of the old days?

I’ve been a gamer since the days of the Atari. While I was very little back then, I was more into the Nintendo when it came out and when I was finally old enough to really become an active gamer. Initially, my doctor recommended gaming because I have a muscle disease and amazingly, using the controller was increasing the movement and dexterity in my fingers and wrists. It was also helping the strength in my hands, fingers and arms. Who knew gaming could have so many positive benefits?

By the time Nintendo was no longer the only hot console out there, I was hooked. While I tried to remain loyal to Nintendo, purchasing the Game Cube, the Nintendo Gameboy, Gameboy Advance and finally the Wii, I tried to avoid the temptation of buying other consoles. When the XBOX came out, I refused to buy it. However, I couldn’t avoid purchasing a Playstation 2. With the new generation of consoles released, I have my Wii, my Playstation 3, and I admit it. I’ve been dying to get an XBOX 360. I am happy to report I now own every gaming system excluding the PSP. Maybe that makes me crazy or maybe it’s feeding my gaming need!

I purchased my XBOX 360 just so I could review Rock Band 2. I have Rock Band for the Wii and now the XBOX 360. There are some definite differences between Rock Band for both systems and while there are differences between Rock Band and Rock Band 2 for XBOX 360, I pretty much view Rock Band 2 more as an upgrade. As opposed to being the next step in the Rock Band series, Rock Band 2 takes the Rock Band formula and improves upon it. This is more of an addition not a flat out new game. That’s the difference between Rock Band and most of the other video games that carry a 2 after their names.

The Rock Band 2 Story:
Rock Band 2 is pretty much just like the first Rock Band. You and your friends play as a band. You have drums, a guitar and a microphone. You have the chance to sing a variety of songs by some of the top selling artists in the world. While Rock Band 2 does pretty much everything the original Rock Band for XBOX 360 does, there are also some new options fans of the original Rock Band have been waiting for in a future release.
