IGN Info about the 360 version

It will be released later this year after the 360 version, but who knows how gimped/not gimped it will be compared to the other versions.

Note: This guitar is from the 360 version, but the Wii one should be very similar.

GH4 will probably be better than RB2. DLC or no DLC is no competition.

Their suffering should be engraved on a wall somewhere.

Interesting... I'm sure we are going to get the full treatment this time to compete with GH:WT.

I'll still be getting GH since I already own the guitar. If this game is worth it, maybe I'll buy it too. That guitar looks awesome.

I guess he should have waited.

It's ok, G4 thought that Rock Band Wii was gimped because of the Wii's capabilities, not because it was a port. When did EA get to call the shots of who thought what nowadays?

That might be true... but until they detail out the Wii specifics you can always hope it is like the 360 edition where everything you currently have will work fine with the sequel. And who knows, they might even find a way for the Wii to hold more than 10 downloadable songs and you can have DLC too!

Thats what I'm hoping for. I am enjoying Rock Band. It wasn't a bad buy, I'm just mad if I have to buy a new bundle pack with new instruments.

The interview about the 360 version stated you could use your old peripherals from the original Rock Band, but that hasn't been confirmed for Wii.

They sold the original Rock Band without instruments so why wouldn't they sell Rock Band 2 without instrument? All the instruments from the first game are compatible with the second.

I love how everyone is saying GHIV will better better than RB2 when we have pretty much no information on either. Sounds like everyone is still bitter about getting the low-end version port.

I still think Rock Band 2 is going to be a cheap PS2 port with no DLC and maybe... just maybe online play this time around. But still not convincing.

We know a lot about GH:WT and that game will indeed be amazing.

Where exactly did you hear/read this? I highly doubt that considering they are not gimping GH4 because it is going to have the same features as the other 2 versions plus some extras.

There won't be much of a wait since GH is coming out the end of October and RB is promised to release before the end of the year after the September 360 release. I bet they'll have it ready for the holiday shoppers.

Rock Band 2: GH4: Guitar Hero World Tour Other RB needs to color the whole guitar the same (none of this black outline with white and tan tip). And swap the white face plate (switches etc) for black and it would looks lots better. The GH button color outline has always looked like a baby's toy to me... Functionally though: I hate hitting the effects switch when I wammy on the RB controller. but find the buttons easier to slide my hand on and get my fingers in the right spot do to the bumps on the frets being on the 2nd and 4th fingers instead the GH which has only one bar on the Yellow that feels like the slots between the frets.

G4, an American TV show previously known as Tech TV, has a show called X-play, which is where the false information is provided.

Here (american access only I believe) is the review, the comment about Wii capability happened at the end of the 6-27-08 episode, which I can't find on the website.

RB Guitar > GH Guitar Rock Band feels more like you are playing the guitar unlike GH which feels like you're pressing buttons. Thats the thing, we know what GH:WT will have in it and so does Harmonix. I think they will build on what GH:WT has. I wonder why Rock Band 2 is releasing later? Maybe because it will destroy GH? Who knows, lets just wait and see.

Sorry bout that, I totally misread that. I thought you just forgot the H for GH4, I didn't realize you were talking about the TV network G4. I don't watch that channel.

I don't see the point behind spending that much money on plastic instruments, just go buy a real one. I could understand old guitar hero [one instrument]. But I bet GH 4 will be better.

That travesty of a game called GH3 ruined any interest I once held for the rythm/guitar simulation game. And this is from a guy who can beat every song on GH1 and II on expert (except for Jordan)

Rock Band and whatever, gimped, bush league cash in version of GH they have coming out can burn for all I care.
