I did give this game a thumbs up but I do have a love/hate relationship with this game and since I have over 300 hours into it it did deserve a thumbs up. The Love: It is a fun game and I do recommend buying it. It has a little bit of a learning curve for mastery at first but there are some nice guides in the guide section. I have played 6 bands each through 5+ in game years and releasing #1 albums so it does have replayability. The character designer passes and you can start your band with 1-5 band mates or just create your starter member and hire other band members in the game. There is further character development in game with skills and upgrading equipment, residence, and looks. The funnest part of the game is the beginning couple of years. Once you have an established band it gets a bit tedious and repetitive. The hate: it Does get tedious towards the end of writing 100's of songs to get some hits, make the CD, go on tour, repeat. However, you do have many hours of entertainment before that part. The game could also have so much more and who knows, maybe there will be a RS3, but I would like to have the ability to have independent albums sell in stores and not just concert venues. You can have a skill with a band member of Business but to release an album that would also have store sales you have to go through a recording contract. Would also be fun to be able to create your own label and perhaps support other bands. I would also like to be able to hire my own marketing firm instead of relying on the records company cheapness. Might also be fun to have radio play involved and taking the time out of your tour to visit radio stations and increase your bands popularity. Decorating your house would be fun and need some new/updated clothing. Also, what about custom equipment.. It comes down to the game could really have a lot more to it and yet without the more it is still a fun game.

I don't often write reviews, but I feel I need to for rising star 2. I've played the other similar games on steam, but this one is the elite choice. The grind may feel daunting, as an ex- drummer on a Warped Tour side stage, I can tell you, yeah man... it is! And once you break through to that next level, this game makes it feel worth all the efforts. From the battle of the bands in bars to the theaters and to the arenas and then the stadiums with a pyrotechnic show. What a ride! Much like real life, the magic trick to success is song writing. Want to get big? grind the tours, trash the hotel rooms, upgrade the band's abilities, and write. great. songs. The last point I want to make for anyone wondering if this is worth whatever it is priced at on steam when you're looking... I reported a bug (p.s. it wasn't a bug, I'm just dumb). I got an email from the developer, we had an email conversation about it... the next week there was an update and it was resolved (really it was clarified bc it was never a bug to begin with). I'm not sure if there's ever been a better 'rock star simulator' and I can tell you I'm a true fan of this game, and this developer. I can't wait to see what they come up with next. A rising star 3 (or something in the same vein of rock star simulator genre) is all I can ask for. In the meantime, I will continue my stadium tour in support of my number 1 record and never forget all of the lawns I had to cut to get here...

It's a rather simple game but challenging enough to keep your interest. A bit repetitive but still found different things to do to break up the monotony. Some people probably won't like it but I found it fun!
