I would take Rock band over guitar hero in a heart beat.

bought RB2

bought RB2

I just got the original rock band and i got guitar hero world tour.

Neither.

Neither.

then don't post, simple as that. That is if you don't have anything REAL to say.

Guitar Hero World Tour has a better soundtrack IMO, but I'd prefer to learn and play a real instrument.

I have to say I like Rock Bands soundtrack better. There seems to be more recent songs on Rock Band. I like newer songs better than older songs. Con't get me wrong, old songs are good, but you have heard them a million times and they lose their luster.

Which ever one had a better "Good songs to $$$ ratio"
ie; Better songs cheaper gets my vote.

Rock Band by a mile.

Better interface, better song, and characters that don't look like undead marionettes. More and better DLC also.

Guitar Hero
just cos that's what I had before and I'm the loyal type

then don't post, simple as that. That is if you don't have anything REAL to say.

What I'm saying is that you shouldn't fuel the business of either game. The reason Guitar Hero keeps putting out Guitar Hero games is because faggots like you decide to buy every game, no matter how sucky it truly is. Because let's face it, Guitar Hero died after the second game. The same can be applied to Rock Band, which is doing an even better job of milking your money by releasing DLC songs that should have just been on the game in the first place.

yeah, who wouldnt expect 500+ songs to come on the disc...?

Rock Band by a mile.

Better songs in your opinion maybe and what does the graphics have to do with it?

I'm loving world tour but will definitely buy RB2 sometime. I like the look of the Afterlife and Caprici di Diablo chart, seems fun!

I still prefer Guitar hero over any Rock band game BUT the only fail about this game is the lack of Through the fire anf flames and Devil went down to georgia. Satch boogie is ok but not that hard.

Whilst I don't have either of these games, my sister just bought a wii, so I might go halves on the guitar hero bundle. She just wanted to get the guitar and game, but I totally want to try the drums. What sold me is that guitar hero has one more drum pad than rock band. Plus, I just think the guitar hero controllers are a bit cooler. I happen to be a metal guitar player, who wouldn't even think of buying a strat, so i'm sort of biased there.

I've also never played rock band. But I did hear that rock band has the song "Clouds over California" by Devildriver, and I fuckin love that song. I just wish the drums had double kick, it would give the skill level a higher ceiling.

But, both games sort of piss me off. I could play pretty much any song on both games on an actual guitar, but I'm pretty terrible with a guitar shaped controller.
And fuck you guys saying "Guitar hero sucks, learn to play real guitar!" That's completely irrelevant. I do play real guitar, and guitar hero is still fun as hell.

Considering some of the Rock Band DLC is Miley Cyrus and The Naked Brothers Band, it'd be subjective to say that all of the DLC is actual songs. Good songs. So once you narrow down the list to real good songs, there's, say, fifty? Add those to the regular setlist.

Isn't it great when you make shit up just to sound cool?

Furthermore.

If you can only find 50 songs you like, from RB DLC, your music taste is sad to say the least. http://www.rbdlc.com/factoids.php

Check that out, change the display from 20 to 100 and I could pick out at least 75 songs that are good.

Your next post is going to be about how you have to pay extra to get the DLC. Your arguments are stale and boring.

Btw, you are not forced to buy the DLC, like other things in life. This means, if you don't like a song/pack, you don't have to buy it. Amazing right?

What are you talking about. Guitar Hero 2 sucked, Guitar Hero 3 and Guitar Hero World tour are the only Guitar Hero Games I like. Better songs, better graphics, more songs, more features, and not to mention they add a little difficulty to make it funner.

I don't know about Rockband 2, because I only have Rockband 1.

Isn't it great when you make shit up just to sound cool?

Miranda Cosgrove. What-the-fuck ever. Don't even dare tell me that they're different.

Obviously what you like is skewed, to say the least. GH3 failed in implementing bad songs (Faggonforce, Slipknot) and a ridiculous difficulty curve, and then they couldn't even get the DLC and online play right! Nice.

GHWT is just stupid in that its called GUITAR Hero, not Band Hero. They used horrible song choices for some of the songs, i.e. "Today" by Smashing Pumpkins over "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", "Pull Me Under" by Dream Theater, the live version of "Sweet Home Alabama".

Maybe there's a reason that GH3 and GHWT got 8.0 scores from Gamespot, whereas GH2 got an 8.7 and GH a 9.0.

I got both because I am a true musician unlike you faggot fucking fanboy faggots.

Sadly, it's true:

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/11/27/rock-band-weekly-euro-bands-and-nick-stars/ :(

However, you've got to give them credit. Many people who play this game are young kids, and not everyone has the same taste in music. Hell, a week or two ago they released a pack of country songs. This week they're releasing songs by Ray Orbison, Jethro Tull, and Deep Purple. Next year they're releasing the entire Pearl Jam "Ten" album.

And as for the rest:

If you someone can only find 50 songs they like in that list, I just feel sorry for them.

who the fuck are the naked brothers band?

Miranda Cosgrove. What-the-fuck ever. Don't even dare tell me that they're different.

Isn't gamespot a website or is it more? idk. but if they are a website then any survey they would make would not statistically represent the gaming population. If they are more then I want to know how they got there information to see if it is biased. And if they made this stuff up themselves then it just screams bias.

A lot of song choices are bad, but overall GH3 and GHWT have better songs, because GH2 and GH also have bad song choices.

And it does seem ironic that Guitar Hero has copied off of Rock Band with GHWT when Rock Band seemed to copy off of Guitar Hero in the 1st place.

And I have both 2 because I love both games, I just prefer Rock Band.

A pathetic attempt the Nickelodeon made to have a musical act. They are really quite crappy, their music is worse than the name of their band.

when Rock Band seemed to copy off of Guitar Hero in the 1st place.

Well, the creators of Rock Band, Harmonix, are the creators of Guitar Hero, so it's hard to copy off yourself.

The people who make Guitar Hero now are Neversoft, most famous for the Tony Hawk series, and they were assigned the franchise by Activision after Harmonix flew the coop. They've made Guitar Hero 3, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, and Guitar Hero: World Tour.

Really? Thats why they are similar and there wasn't some uproar about Rock Band copying Guitar Hero.

thanks...they do sound pretty gay.

Gamespot reviews games. They get their information through...reviewers hired by Gamespot.

"Crazy on You" > all GH3's songs.
DragonForce is auto-fail for GH3.
Releasing the "Low" remix for GHWT is auto-fail.

At the time, Rock Band seemed to have brought enough originality (full-band instruments) into the picture to neutralize any debates about infringement. Then Guitar Hero came along and said, "Hey, we're like Rock Band too!". Of the two games, Guitar Hero totally copied off of Rock Band.

Neither.

This.

I just bought a PS3 a couple days ago, and apparantly there was a deal that if you buy a PS3 you get a free guitar hero 3. I didnt want it, but the guy said its free so theres no way. I tried to trade it for something else, but I couldnt. So I gave it to someone standing in line. They almost cried.

I can't believe how mental people are for this crap. Shame on the bands for selling out too.

Should have snapped the disc in front of everyone.

Should have stuck the guitar up the store clerk's ass.
Fixed.

Downloaded both, Rockband > GH as far as tunes go.

I prefer Rock Band.

the guitar in the first rock band is shit i dont know about the second because i got guitar hero world tour which i thinks kicks the shit out of rock band

Shame on the bands for selling out too.

Ugh. Selling out? What,you mean actually getting your music out there to an entire new age group and wave of people while making money in the mean time?

All bands sold out the first minute they took money for a ticket to their show. I mean,if it's all about the music,they should tour for free. Don't want to be sell outs,right?

guitar hero guitars are so shitty.

^is full of shit... if gh guitars are shitty than there are apparently no half decent "guitars" to play these games on...

Guitar Hero 3 had a pretty decent controller. So did GH2.

Then I wouldn't trust that. although I had a chance to play GHWT on career mode (I was only playing on quickplay before) and was horribly dissappointed in it.

I know I hate the Rock Band Guitar. I can normally play on Expert but I can't even pass on medium on that thing. I cant tell where my fingers are on it without looking and when I look, oops I missed 8 notes already.

If you don't like it, sell it to someone you know who likes it. That way you get some money off of it. thats what I would do.

Raised buttons are fucking retarded. having to rely on a fucking annoying loud ass clicking noise in order to strum correctly makes you a shitty player.

Atleast the RB guitars try to emulate reality, with FRETS and a loose strum.


That's why I fucking hate the GH guitars. They're cheap, counter-intuitive and generally liked by people who suck dick at the games.

Yeah, the Strat 2 is the best plastic guitar ever made.

This is where I disagree. I like the original SG Guitar Hero guitars. The fret bar had an end to it and didn't just like...sit freely with hardly any tension. When it clicked,I knew absolutely sure that I hit that note and it's not the guitar being fruity. I also liked the raised buttons better because I could position and feel where my fingers are easier because they are raised off the neck. On the Rock Band guitars I have to try and feel where the solid piece of plastic is that separates the fret buttons to position my fingers.

Also,the clicking never bothered me. I automatically just filtered it out and wouldn't even hear it while i'm listening to the game.

They create a very artificial experience adverse to playing the real guitar.

RB guitar has FRETS you feel them with your FINGERS not with your whole fucking hand like the giant raised buttons.

the strum is LOOSE and not solid, emulating the strings of a guitar. In fact strumming on the RB guitar with a pick is actually pretty helpful.


These features require the people to play by feeling not by noise of the controller.


Granted, this way of playing is a lot more easy to feel and understand on a real guitar, and isn't quite the same on a controller. But as a guitarist before these games came out, I seriously prefer the RB controller. Hopefully from what I've elaborated on you can understand why I get so pissed about the GH controllers...

This is how I feel. I can't tell where one of the buttons ends and where another begins.
