Add to these the fact that the 2-player system is now 2 separate tracks (for instance: lead guitar for player 1 and rhythm guitar for player 2; or guitar for player 1 and bass for player 2), and you have just an awesome time with friends and family.

Come November 7th, I may be unavailable for comment for I will be locked away in Rock Star Land.
