Is it still worth playing?

Harmonix's 2008 music game, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and Wii. Up to four players play guitar, bass, drums and vocals, following scrolling colored notes, with Overdrive and difficulties from Easy to Expert. A player who fails can be saved by another's Overdrive, and No Fail mode and a Drum Trainer help newcomers. Tour mode follows a single touring band that can be played solo or with others, locally or online. There are 84 songs on the disc plus 20 free at launch, and instruments from the first game still work. Its downloadable library grew past 1,400 songs. A No Fail mode and Overdrive rescues still let a group of mixed skills share one song today.
