Time for a rant!
For Guitar Hero Games I don't pay attention to ratings, either you like them or you don't. But I have to say that Guitar Hero this time around does not have a very good track list, but the fact that you can make your own music looks really fun and inventive, and goes to show that the developers are still coming up with some great ideas. Also the guitar hero series has far better peripherals in terms of quality and functionality. I mean Rock Bands instruments on the 360 barely work, the buttons on the guitars are absolutely awful and you don't feel that your actually hitting the notes with the buttons or the strum bar, while GH's guitar is solid and you really get that satisfaction when you play the instrument. Also the drums for Rock Band compared to GH is, well there is no comparison. GH has a far better drum set, not much noise and once again better quality build. I think Harmonix is the developer that is just trying to cash in, with Rock Band, just make cheap crap so people break it then buy new stuff all over again and don't even bother putting anything new in Rock Band 2 over Rock Band 1, they are almost exactly the same, just new songs. But the songs in Rock Band 2 are better (in my opinion) than GH4. And look at the differences between GH3 and GH4. There are a lot of them! But these games are about what you, the player, prefers, whether it be song selection or peripherals. And even if this series is just like Madden, that doesn't mean you have to get every game just because they put it out there. The developers are trying to give the players what they want, and every year it's something different or new. So the more games the merrier I say!
Whew! Long winded of me.
