Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock vs. Rock Band

Guitar Hero III: A sequel to the first 2 guitar hero games, but is it a true sequel? It's not made by the same people, but it is made by Neversoft (who are great developers). If you've played the first 2 you will know how amazingly fun it is to play a plastic guitar, but will Neversoft give justice to the Guitar Hero name?

Features not included in past guitar games:

Battle Mode with tons of power-ups.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rock Band: IMO the actual sequel to Guitar Hero II, but that does not mean it will be better than Guitar Hero III (Neversoft might turn out to be better than Harmonix in this genre).

Features not included in past guitar games:

Drums and singing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I plan on getting both. I plan on getting Guitar Hero first because it is cheaper (and I will have to spend a lot of money this year on getting a 360), I will probably get Rock Band later for more songs and drums (when it gets a little cheaper).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So which will you get and why?

P.S. Anyone that has more info on either game please add, and I would appreciate it greatly if a mod could sticky this (you'll probably have to sticky a GH vs. RB topic eventually, to avoid a board flooding with threads of the same topic).

^ Well put.

:)

The drums look like a crapload of fun on Rock Band, but the singing part is a major tun off to me. I'm not tryin to hear people that can't sing screaching into a plastic mic lol. If there's online, which I think there is, it could be a great time.

Personally, I'm more pumped for GH3 because there's a pretty solid song lineup, and if it holds true to its predecessors and has some online play, it will kick major buttocks.

... I'm not getting gh3 because of the powerups and stuff, it takes away from the experience. I play thesegames to play along with good songs so I can feel like a rock star, those power ups and battles take away from that.the_real_jspark

If Rock Band focuses on playing the guitar it might be better cause it has the better soundtrack. But Guitar Hero has the better presentation and it is just a guitar game which is an advantage. Although I do want to try the drums.-MlKE-

-MIKE-"Cause if I just have the guitar I don't wanna play Rock Band with three bars there for bass and drums also and lyrics moving across the screen. I hope when the game comes out you can choose which instruments your using so there won't be too much clutter on the screen. "

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't put all that other stuff on if you're not playing those instuments. Basically Rock Band (in my understandings) can be guitar hero, drum hero, bass hero, singing hero, or any of those combined hero.

-MIKE-"PSM played them both and they said the Guitar Hero guitar is better"

Well that's good (because I'm going to get GHIII first) but you can't really trust just a few people's opinion, you need to get a bunch of peoples opinions for a more accurate answer.

It seems most chose Guitar Hero, I figured it would be Rock Band that would be winning because it has the extra instruments and you can still do just guitar. Anyways....any GS score predictions?

I'm guessing Rock Band 9.5 and Guitar Hero 9. (it would be more like9.3 and 8.7 if it weren't for the new rating system).

Rock Band -10

GH3- 9.0

I'll be buying the whole rock band bundle and rocking out for months. I'll probably buy GH3 also, only because MUSE is oin it.
