Magento: Change the block template in local.xml

I would like the product reviews page to use a different template instead of:

catalog/product/view.phtml

In review.xml, I see the file being called:

<block type="review/product_view" name="product.info" template="catalog/product/view.phtml">

Is there a way I can override that in local.xml and create a new file (ex: view2.phtml) and use that for this page?

Yes, you can definitely do that by writing the following code in local.xml:-

<reference name="product.info">
    <action method="setTemplate"><template>catalog/product/view2.phtml</template></action>
</reference>

Here view2.phtml is your new file in the proper folder structure.

Hope it helps.
