I have to admit that I took a bit of solace in the fact that Rock Band wasn't going to come to the Wii (before it was recently announced, that is). Last Fall, the internet was abuzz with debates about which one was the better choice, both with some really good points. Meanwhile, I, the Wii owner, didn't have that choice and therefore didn't have to worry about whick one was better; I had the choice of Guitar Hero. And that's what I bought. Now Rock Band is finally coming to the Wii in the form of a PS2 port. I was thinking about getting it anyway, but my GHIII controller apparently won't work with it. That's really all I needed to come crawling back to Guitar Hero. And thank goodness they're going the full-band route.

I know some of you may own other consoles, but I'm curious about whether or not anyone else here is interested in GH World Tour. Because of the Wii owners' particular circumstanses, I have a feeling it could do really well on the Wii, as opposed to the soon to be released Rock Band Wii.

What do y'all think?

Why is their no option for GH4 for people that don't own GH3?

*slaps forehead"

I'll edit. Sorry.

EDIT: Sorry, it's already gotten votes. If you're interested in GH4, maybe you could just lump your choice with option one?

GH4 looks awesome. Rock Band Wii is gimped. Rock Band instruments are prone to breaking...multiple times.

Actually they have a stronger drum pedal in the Wii version as well as the newer models of the old version. But I agree that it's not worth a purchase because of how horribly it's gimped.

Yes, Guitar Hero should be your choice if you only own a Wii. World Tour will be the third GH game on the system, so you'll get a lot of use out of your investment.

The GH4 drums look much better than the Rockband ones, downloadable content looks likely, and the new feature look interesting.

In re Rock Band, yeah that's what I hear. I was really happy to hear that GH would start making full-band games.

Skip Rock Band, it's horribly downgraded for the Wii. Save all that money for Guitar Hero IV which will have DLC, song editor, and a better drumset.

If the entire Wii version of Rock Band is wireless screw it, too many batteries.

Is GH:WT coming out for PS2? I only have GH3 for PS2 (they were all sold out of Wii, so my parents got the PS2 version for X-mas instead) and want to be able to reuse the guitar.

Was going to buy guitar hero 3 preowned off my friend quite cheaply, and then buy the rock band solus. Guitar Hero World Tour destroyed those plans, because it looked so awesome! DAMN YOU INNOVATIVE GAME DEVELOPERS :P 100% getting world tour because it looks so much better than rock band and guitar hero, and the guitar is getting a slidey neck, so no doubt old ones wont work... Can't wait now :cry:

Anyone that gets RB for the Wii is a sucker. I'm sorry, I love RB, but no Wii owner should pay money for its cheap butt sucking wanta-be ugly PS2 port. If you are a wii only owner, you really don't have anywhere to turn but GH. Now if this wasn't on the Wii boards, my opinion would change completely.

i only have a wii, so i have GH3, and planned on getting rock band until GH4/world tour was announced. let me explain my choice. buy rock band with 63 or w/e tracks, no DLC or online, and dont know when RB 2 is coming out, or wait a few months and get GH4, get DLC, online play, make ur own tracks, and know that they have been on board with the wii for a while and look dedicated(GH3 has online play, and supposedly is going to have downloadable tracks, i doubt it tho) towards the wii, unlike RB who cant even support online play when GH3 has already done it. Rock Band used the excuse that developers havent found the full potential of the wiis online capabilities, yet just a month or two later GH shows up and promises everything RB said was incapable for them....make sense?
