2 Stars Many Advertised Features Missing on PS2 Version
Yes, I’m still playing these games on my PS2. I have no problem with features being left off for the PS2 version, but I can’t find anywhere online that explains what’s missing. So, here’s the caveat emptor for the PS2 buyers:

1) Party mode is useless on the PS2. It’s basically the same as freeplay (you can’t fail a song), but the game randomly picks the songs. You can’t drop in and out seamlessly, change difficulty or instruments on the fly, or any of the other features touted for this mode. I was really excited about the prospect of being able to leave the game on at a party and just pick up and go when a good song came on. No luck there; party mode is included on the disc for the sole purpose of being able to say it’s there in promotional materials; it doesn’t work at all like it’s supposed to.

2) There are no song challenges in career mode. On the other systems, you can earn up to 3 extra stars for completing challenges specific to each song (like strum upward a certain number of times, or earn a certain high score.) There is no such feature on the PS2 version; you can only earn the standard 5 stars on each song.

3) There’s no music studio feature like there is on the other systems, but given what a dog this was on World Tour, I don’t really miss it at all.

That said, the interface and tracklist are significantly better than World Tour’s.

1 Star Doesn’t even work!!
So I go to put in my brand new game the menu screen loads and I go to start a song and nothing but a loading screen. Ive tried 5 different songs so far letting it sit for quite a while and the song never loads. waste of money, I want a refund.
