For some rockers, the glamour, the money, the groupies, and the fame are enough to keep you playing. For others, well, achievements can be a big incentive as well. A good part of teh Rock Band 2 achievements have been revealed, and they look quite well thought out. Some will present a serious challenge for even future Rock Hall of Famers, which was something the first game sorely needed. Here's a highlight to illustrate the difficulty we're talking about here:
The Beat Goes On Complete all beats at 100BPM or higher, or half of the beats at 180BPM or higher 20
I think its safe to say that Rock Band will no longer be Guitar Hero's easier, simpler cousin any more. Check out the full list of achievements after the break.
