Rock Band for Wii is not worth it, in my opinion. I will just wait for Guitar Hero 4.

I am not really a Guitar Hero fanboy, but I have already bought two guitars for the GH3 and do not want to shell out to buy another set of 'band-equipment' for another game. Granted, when GH4 comes out I will need to buy the set, but atleast I will have already have the second guitar, granted 1 extra unless I can buy the drums/mic seperate.

I think GH4 looks promising enough to wait, but at this point, Rock Band Wii is complete underrated and a some corporate desire to bring in a couple extra bucks without providing enough of the same expierence. ie: Look at the differences between 360 Rock Band and Wii Rock Band, despite the Wii's lack of capabilities in some areas. Seems developers didn't even try to take advantage of the Wii

I can see how people are waiting for guitar hero 4, but I'm getting Rock band because of the great songs on it. I mean, there are some of my favorite songs on there that I cannot wait to play.

But will you be willing to shell out another 200$ for GH4 for a bunch of other songs you will like...

Nope, played it enough with friends. I'm pretty sick of rhythm games to be honest, but I'll prolly still get GH4.

I might not buy it... I've seen the vids for it and the game just looks weird with the circles for the notes... also, what songs will it have? I mean Harmonix has MTV which gets them tons of good songs... and I'm sure it'll have DLC at some point...

No. I considered it but I'm just waiting for GH4. Supposedly it will have DLC plus it has a much better drum set for nearly the same price.

no way...as an actual drummer, i will wait for GHWT, since the drum kit looks way better and song editor

...and don't forget GH4 will have DLC, unlike RB Wii

It will not... It will never actually. GH has Activision which has a buttload of money also.

Are you sure you are up to speed on that Activision refund?

And no, Rock Band Wii is garbage. No online, crappy peripherals, and confirmed several 'track pack discs' coming in the furture instead of dlc.

I'm definately getting rock band, but not for the wii. We love our wii but they are really screwing up this DLC thing with this and guitar hero 3. I'm buying either a ps3 or 360 just for these games. Wake up Nintendo and figure out how inportant DLC is.

Dlc is confirmed for GH4 on the Wii. MTV Games was given the option to put dlc in Rock Band Wii, but turned it down.

Guitar Hero 4 for me. No need to even consider Rock Band once Guitar Hero was announced.

Let's see. Am I getting Rock Band? Let's consider the facts.

1. Guitar Hero 3 Controller can't be used.

2. no DLC

3. no online of any kind

4. $170

5. A cheap PS2 port, in which even the PS2 version was, according to Gamespot's review, given the STRIPPED demerit for being described as incomplete.

Going back to the question above...

I practically sucked at GH3, all my friends were on the hard difficulty while I couldn't beat a song on easy, after 2 weeks of intense training I became way better than my friends andwas able to do most songs on expert while they were still were on hard.

Just give it a shot.

Yea, I am sticking with rock band for the wii instead of GH4. As much as I liked GH3, I feel that guitar hero was great as a way to show off to friends, while rock band is mroe party game-esque. It also seems that Activision is coming up with a gimmicky Create-A-Song addition, which I have a strong disposition that it will not be as good as it sounds. Also, because GH4 is doing DLC instead of track packs that means there needs to be some sort of ext hard drive or SD needed to get the benefit of not filling the entire wii memory with songs. I personally do not want to deal out 170-80 (maybe?) dollars for GH4 and an SD card or hard drive. Thats basically buying myself another wii with one game.

Nope, I'm skipping my way towards Guitar Hero IV instead. No DLC? Shame on you Rock Band. Online? Tsk tsk. No need to spend all that extra money on a dumbed down Rock Band when there's the new Guitar Hero IV around the corner.

I'm just going to wait for Guitar Hero 4 because the drums look a lot better and there is going to be DLC in the Wii version of Guitar Hero 4 unlike the Wii version of Rock Band.

It's a waste of money to get Rock Band when Guitar Hero will do everything, only better.

Well, I don't want to eat my words here, so let's just wait until reviews start showing up.

i know im definately not. reasons

1. going to cost a heap

2. GH4 around the corner and it will pwn its ***

3. seeing how the other versions of RB arent even out in australia yet we might get the wii version when RB 2 comes out if ever

4. GH4 will dominate it in every single possible way

I'm not buying it I will buy Rock Band 2 on Wii if it has the same stuff that Rock Band 2 on the 360 has just lower resolution, because the Wii version is stripped down and it doesn't even have Downloadable content I love downloadable content on the 360 version but I don't have a 360 anymore my brother took it since he bought it.

No, because I was one of those people that shelled out $500 for it on the X360. Mind you I didn't just get RB, and I no longer have to complain about what 3rd party multiplats get stripped out on the Wii, or HD space. If you were getting a X360 just for RB then yeah, that might have been a problem. I am looking forward to GH4 though... but I doubt I will get another drum kit and the game better allow me to use my RB guitar and mic (which should be fine - probably not on the Wii though, see aforementioned HD space problem).
