I'll still get World Tour Wii, but I'll get this, too if I have any cash leftover. Other than that, i'll stick with World Tour Wii (since I have a GH3 guitar).

UPDATE: Bad news, Rock Band 2 Wii will have online & DLC, but some features from the PS3/360 versions will be missing (i'm guessing Character Creation & World Tour).

Thank God. I can't believe they actually cut down a PS2 game to release it on the wii. There's no excuse for that kind of thing.

I'm happy to hear about this, though. :D

I migh tneed to buy this, along with GH3 and WT

I have to know both song lists and compare.

Though usually GH has those special video game themed songs for dlc, so, Im hoping for some metroid music.

Since I have the instruments on PS3, that's the system I'll get it for.

Even with RB2 being the smae as on the other consoles, World Tour still sounds mroe promising in every way, shape and form.

I'll only get it if they somehow allow you to use either the Les Paul or the GHWT guitar because I can only get enough money for just the game [which is okay cause I only play guitar]

If they do deliver all that is featured in the other two consoles, it'll be something I'll take a look at. Other than that, I'm still sticking with World Tour.

Hmm.

Well, I'm still going for the 360 version :P

Guitar Hero, in my opinion, looks to be worse than Rock Band 2 in every way - of course, I'll keep my final judgement for when the full track list is revealed.

I already have the current Rock Band for the Wii (they did black-magic selling it for the wii last-minute), so i guess I'll just buy Rock Band 2. I don't like that I got sold like that, but I'll settle for it (I still HATE Activision)

Why the Activision hate? Do you have a grudge against Blizzard or something too?

Now both are on level on the Wii, Music Creator desides it all. Oh, Only World Tour has it, World Tour wins this year. Nice move, Rock Band (please, do what you did on RB2 Wii more often), but unless you get a Music Creator, Activision has my money this year.

The drums look better for GH4 and the song creator isnt in RB2 so GH4 wins.

Mehh... I'll stick with GH. If the RB & GH guitars were interchangeable like they are on the PS/360 I'd get both but I'm not buying 2 guitars for almost identical games.

Other... Even if it was fully featured I think it would be a pain to deal with friend codes and storage when it comes to playing the game. And the article didn't seem very convincing that it would be 'fully featured' either, only that it would be as lame as the first horrible port.

Read closer. It said it will have what the PS3/360 versions have (including Online & DLC).

Eh, I already got Rock Band for my 360 last year, so I'll be sticking with RB2 on the 360 as well. I really don't need another set of plastic instruments via Wii version or bothering to get World Tour. Besides, Neversoft somehow managed to rip all of the soul out of the GH franchise, overchart every song possible, and make the character designs even uglier.

Also, Air_wolf, I know that RB2 has at least one Offspring song.

Sorry, I didn't read your second post. For those that want to read it, with emphasis, I'll highlight it for you: [QUOTE="The Wired Article"]"Worried that Rock Band 2 for Wii will be the same scaled-back experience of the original Rock Band? It ain't so. "While we didn't get into nitty-gritty details, I was assured by representatives of Harmonix at E3 this year that the Wii version of Rock Band 2 will be a much more competitive product. "It was understood that this extended to things like downloadable content and online play. While I can't be sure that Rock Band 2 for Wii will have absolutely everything that its next-gen counterparts are packing onto the disc, it's certainly not going to be as disappointing, feature-wise, as the Wii version of the original. "I was under the impression that this was well-known by this point, but apparently not, as the comments section of our recent Rock Band 2 article is filled with people doubting that the game will have downloadable songs. Hope this lifts everyone's spirits."

Other than the statement 'will have downloadable songs' the rest of it seems pretty wishy-washy to me. And doesn't come at and declare the Wii edition equal to it's X360 / PS3 counter parts in the least. Sure RB has DLC but there is much more to RB than just DLC. And given space limitations, I doubt you will get to have all 500 songs (available by december) on your Wii. I could be wrong, but I still think it isn't going to be equal to the other platforms versions... I have begun to doubt Wii multiplat games, RB1 actually tipped me over the edge and I got a complimentary system that doesn't get the short end of the stick with these sorts of games. If possible I suggest you follow suit or don't worry about it.

I believe that Guitar Hero: World Tour will work with the first Rock Band instruments on the 360. But I agree, GH3 was, meh.

I don't think anyone does. The only thing announced so far is Sept 14th for the X360 edition and the others following a brief exclusivity period...

this is one thing that WON'T happen. RB2 will have more than 500 songs available by the end of the year. GH:WT might hit half of that in it's lifetime... maybe. If you throw in the song creator, GH:WT might have more available, but it leaves out voice and won't be master tracks of anything.
