USA Today republishes Rock Band 2 story, says it isn't totally gimped

On Friday, a USA Today article reported that Rock Band 2 for the Wii would be totally gimped, just like the first game. After being contacted by Harmionx PR and writing them back, we didn't hear anything else on the matter. That is, until now. USA Today has republished the article in question and has included some stuff about the Wii version of Harmonix's sequel.

The updated piece now reads that, while "unannounced," MTV games has confirmed that Rock Band 2 for the Wii will "offer the same online functionality -- i.e. song downloads and Internet multiplayer modes -- as the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 versions." We guess that settles it then? Are you ready to give Rock Band 2 another chance, or will it still be Guitar Hero: World Tour for you?
