STOP THE PRESSES! A company re-used a cheat code in a game sequel to perform the same function!!!

Sweet! I'm going to get RB2 in November. Great game for the family to rock to before Thanksgiving dinner.

Plus, with no fail mode turned on, even a caveman can play it!

I'm interested in finding out what the OTHER locked "cheats" there are in the game. The unlock all songs one was the most obvious - what are the others?

Yes, I believe there are 3 other slots for unlock codes. I like that they're codes so we can get them from places like this.

I never entered the first one .. this is tempting though. Is it just me, or are the songs a bit harder this time out? I could be out of practice.

They are. I have to wait another month for the PS3 version, but I've been looking at videos, and there's a lot more hammer ons, and trickier notes for Expert guitars.
I might have to play on Hard this time around, haha.

I dont know if its much harder than RB1, as Im only @ 28 songs in, but they have these funny double hammer ons now, like a hammer chord. Thought I was seeing things at first.

My sense is that the hammers and pulls are less strict than RB1, as in easier to play, and that the songs that I've run into are not as hard as i would have expected on expert.

Remember that nothing at all saves if you're using the cheat though, you're better off unlocking them for real.

If you want to use a controller to unlock all songs: it is B, Y, X, B, B, X, X, B, Y, X.

Others:

Venue select: Blue, Orange, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Orange, Blue, Yellow or X, LB, LB, X, Y, X, LB, LB, X, Y.

Stage mode (makes you need to hold start to pause, and I think also turns on no fail, maybe): Blue, Yellow, Red, Blue, Yellow, Red, Blue, Yellow, Red or X, Y, B, X, Y, B, X, Y, B.

Awesomeness detection (No idea what it does): Yellow, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Orange or Y, X, LB, Y, X, LB, Y, X, LB.


RB2 venues only: Red, Red, Red, Red, Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, Yellow (or B, B, B, B, Y, Y, Y, Y.)

I don't mind not being able to save if it means I can have people over this week and not only have 30 new songs.

As it tells you before you activate the code, when unlock all songs is checked, you can't get achievements. To enable getting them again, you just uncheck the unlock all songs option.

This code is Temporary (read: awesome)

What it does is:

* Unlock All songs for this session
* Disable saving of any kind

I don't think it disables achievements, though I never got one while using this.

I'm taking mine to a bar to play tonight and only have about half of the songs, so this is sweet.

Anybody else think that they made the note timing window slightly larger than the original Rock Band, and that the HOPO's are easier to hit?

It just seems that songs that I used to get mid 80% on guitar in the original I am now getting low to mid 90%. The window still doesn't feel as large as Guitar Hero III, but it just feels looser. Also, what happened to jukebox mode?

Haha, yeah. I got RB the weekend after it came out and my roommates and I didn't really like the first few songs so instead of playing through the tour we entered the code and bam, all of the songs were available.

The code is important to know when you take the game to a console you haven't played on before.

This is really smart.
Too bad Harmonix has no love for New Zealand, or I'd be all over this.

I have real trouble with having to unlock stuff just to get the whole game. I remember play Tekken Tag Tournament on PS2 for hours straight to get every character.

A cheat like this makes sense in a party game. I think Guitar Hero has it as well, and it disables saving too.
