I want to know what the people on the forum think is the better game.

I got Rock Band 2 first. I was amazed by the excellent setlist, and awesome career mode. The attention to detail is awesome as well. And I love the fact that all the songs I downloaded and the songs I exported from RB1 are integrated into the single world tour mode. The campaign has cool twists and turns with the ability to play certain sets with certain terms earning you more money or fans. I am veeeery pleased with RB2

GH WT on the other hand was very lackluster IMO. The setlist LOOKS great, but the songs are not fun to play. They are mostly classic rock and top 40 stuff, which is no fun IMO. The only songs I really enjoyed playing were the Tool songs.The customization was pretty cool. The song creator sucks. All the songs sound like crappy midi files from an 80's Casio, and there's a 3 minute length cap on all songs. How lame. It seemed that the creators of World Tour seemed to be content on choosing a bunch of popular songs without testing them to see if they are actually fun to play. And they seem to want to plug the hell out of KFC, Line 6, and a ton of other sponsors at every turn. The career mode sucks as well. Play 2-3 songs, then be forced to play an encore, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

All in all, I think Rock Band 2 kicks Guitar Hero World Tour's ass.

What do you guys think?

i personally hate rockband b/c the guitar pick thing is like sticky feeling and weird, i hate the buttons (guitar keys) becuase my sweat always gets them slippery, everything is like dark colored, i dont think the equipment is as nice as ghs, and i hate hitting a tiny bar instead of a circle. Also, i think tht rockbands gameplay isnt as fun as ghs (rockband has a ton of repetitive hitting 1 note). I think ghwt is awesome w a great soundtrack like alwyas. These r my opinions, so if u dont agree, say it nicely, instead of UR AN IDIOT or something. In the end, they r both amazing games, i just prefer GH.

I dont agree with you, but I find no need to berate you because you like GH more. I hated GH WT's music. I loved all previous GH games though. It just seems that when Rock Band revolutionized the genre, GH refused to evolve fully to be on par with RB2 IMO.

I do in fact snowboard, and hunt and shoot, I like to play the games as well, but an instrument that would be just as easy to learn, and be more impressive to all you friends and family just makes sense.

ya i see wat u mean. Rockband is a great game, it sounds like i hate it, but im actually just pointing out things i like in GH better. But yes, rockband is an amzing game. But mayb some of this has changed, mayb i shoudlnt be so biased because i hav not played rockband 2.

Well IMO they should just play an instrument, being an art form they could actually add to our culture instead of receding from it.

Rock Band 2 is about a billion times better than RB1. You really should try it, it's fantastic.

I think they are both too expensive for me and take up too much room. Especially if it's only for a bit of fun once and a while. Which is what it would be for me and my kin.

o ok, i see wat ya mean now. But i just still like playing the game. But ya, it is kind of a waste of time 2 play an instrumeant tht is only a game. Mayb i should start playing a real instrument also.

Alright, i never got 2 the time 2 play rockband 2 because i just assumed it was the same as rockband 1 but with different songs. Thts y i should never assume. But well most of my friends hav GH, but some hav rockband so ill hav 2 go try it out. They say its really good. I guess i just didnt believe him.

I bought guitar hero only about 3 weeks ago now and I must say I LOVE GH WT! Maybe its because im new to the whole franchise but its definitely not a bad game as for the songs... I'm not much of a Hard Rock / Metal kind of guy I'm not very much into rock at all to be honest besides the arctic monkeys and the killers maybe so the songs where just fine for me. To much crappy not all that well known ones beside!

Agreed. I do both, and so do many of my friends. I play the game because it's fun and different from playing the actual instrument.

I have both. It should be based on the songlist. I prefer the Rockband list more. They have more well known bands in it. I think the gameplay is close enough to judge it on that. I think the mapping the menus and overall game setup is better on rockband. Boss duels on GH. kinda cool. If you're really good the creating music is pretty detailed. Though I suck at it. Lots more songs on RB too. Overall i prefer RB or GH, but if you just want to play the songs and don't care about anything else, GH is still an awesome experience.

That's my point I've been trying to make. What if it is too expensive to buy all real stuff? What's wrong with doing it for fun and feeling like a rockstar? Anyway, Rock Band 2 kicks GH's ass. Modes and songs and all. It's a complete package.

My fav thing to do is play the guitar on hard sometimes expert while singing thats ultimate fun and drums its a bit harder the mic picks up you beating the drums thus thrown off your voice in the mic and sounds ugly but hey doesnt mean i havent tryd it. i gots a mic stand for my real mic that i use when me and my Garaheh band plays plus i got a bungie cord i use to strap to the guitar if i want to rock out and run all over the place Rockband FTW!
