GH3 or Rock Band - read post first please!

hey everyone,

i've never owned any guitar hero game and have never played rock band. i definitely wanna pick one up soon though. i'd buy the game pretty much for my own use; i wouldn't have friends come over or use rock band as a party game. with that said, do you think GH3 or Rock Band is better suited for me and why? thanks

i would save your money and buy a real game. rather than one where you just hit a bunch of buttons as they come up on screen.

id say guitar hero 2,gh3 is lame in a way,gh2 has way better songs.starfox2468

I haven't played rock band, but from what I understand is that it's quite expensive- $200 or so for the whole package, I think? I own GH2 and GH3- they are quite fun and are significantly cheaper. I think Rock Band is meant to be more of a party game, thus the experience probably wouldn't be optimal for single player. So probably GH2 or GH3 is a better choice if you're considering cost and what you'll get for single player.

If you are new to the series, GH2 may be a better choice, as GH3 is an overall very challenging game and may be a bit too hard for newcomers to the series. The music is overall very good for both of the games and contains a good variety of songs. GH2 is probably your best bet for starting off, then maybe delve into GH3 after getting enough experience from GH2.

Pretty much you do that in every game...and funny you say that with a PaRappa avatar.

Also TC I'd say get Rock Band, because even if you don't have friends over often you still have at least 3 'solo tours' you can do in it and you can do Band World Tour once you get used to the songs if you really wanted to

parappa had a sick story, and funny lyrics. and parappa didn't cost $90-$180. if it did i probably never would have bought it. i've played and beat all the guitar heros and RB i just can't justify spending all that money on a depthless game.

Thats like every other game, just your hitting buttons on your controller, and guitar hero can be very hard, so can every other game. And, If millions of copies sold worldwide doesn't mean its a real game then I don't know what is.

If you really want, go for 3, but be warned that jumping from medium to hard is supposedly EXTREMELY difficult for new players.jstarzyk

As a point of reference GH3 was my first GH game and it took me about a week to really get used to the move from medium to hard.

in other games you actually do things. sure you just hit buttons but there's more stuff going on on the screen. and sales don't impress me, it's a game that appeals to alot of casual/non-gamers so of course it's going to sell a ton of copies.
