Ok i have both (well i have a few GH heo games and Rock band 2) and i would say guitar hero is the better game. Rock band is pointlessly unforgiving at times and on the harder difficultys, and hammer ons just dont work half the time becasue they are.. well.. unforgiving! I just find guitar hero alot more user friendly, and not that it really matters i but i find the Guitar hero presentation a hell of alot nicer. I have both on the 360 though and im not sure what dlc is availible on the Wii versions but rock band 2 definitly has the better dlc availble. Then again as witl all dlc it isnt cheap so it depends how much your preapred to spend :(

If music is your bag, Rockband has the bigger catalog/download content.

Neither interest me, but they seem the same from my standpoint. I cant belive how much money people drop on these games.

It's only fun if you are playing with a ton of friends that can't play the game at all, and you are drunk or something.

Failing easy songs with a bunch of idiots, is like the most fun you could have.

Playing alone on the other hand...

I am, by far, a GH fanboy. I've been with the series since the first game on the PS2.

When Rockband was released, I thought it was going to blow GH out of the water. Playing drums was fun and all...but it just didnt have the challenge and appeal that GH3 had, with suchhits like Through the Fire and Flames and One.

Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour. This is the big one. Both games have full band support. Both games allow you to play online with your band.

GH in my opinion has WAY better instruments. The drums feel more real and have 5 notes in comparison to only 4 in Rockband 2. Also, expert+ (which is really only on Metallica and Smash Hits) makes it a drummers paradies!

Rock Band 2 poured most of their heart and soul into DLC. And while some of it is pretty good, most of it is just stupid and deff. not worth the money.

On a personal note, I never like Rock Bands graphical presentation. It just seemed too....bland. Like they were trying to hard to make the people look real. GH has a MUCH better graphical presentation to me. Some may not like the cartoony look, but they pulled of Metallica and Aerosmith.

So, yes, while I DO own both Rock Band 2 and multpile GH games, I have to say GH takes the cake for me in terms of graphics, soundtrack and just plain fun.

I have both Rockband and Guitar hero 2,3, and world tour. After playing through both of them, i tend to prefer rockband. guitar 2 is awesome, and gh3 isnt bad but is way too commercial. (a guitar with the AXE logo on it? Please) With World Tour, there are some good songs, but there are also a lot of songs from bands no one has heard of, or that appeal to a small audience like Modest Mouse fans. Rockband does a good job of finding good songs from different decades and genres, from Iron Maiden to The Rolling Stones. The only problem i've encountered is that the drums can sometimes be slow, and you have to play the notes faster than the music, which is hard for me since i am a drummer. Back to Guitar Hero, i've noticed that especially with World Tour, the places you play in are extremely detailed, which can distract from the notes when the background is all flashy and busy. I also like the the recording studio, which allows you to record your own songs. Problem is, what ever you play, it records it EXACTLY how you play it, which can be frustrating, especially with the drums. The design feature for the instruments, and the characters, are a little too in depth, in my opinion. Yeah, it's cool that you can change the structure of your characters nostrils, but does that really matter? Overall, I think GH has become more focus on the look of the game rather than the game itself. (Watch the drummer on the Linkin Park song, it's obvious that it looks wrong) Rockband is just simple, and doesn't go overboard on the graphics and character animation, but it's very good at focusing on the notes rather than the color of the stage's lights. So, in conclusion, (sorry, this is rather long) i choose rockband over GH

Personally i prefer guitar hero because of the music studio and the slider on the guitar.

RockBand 2 is a good game with realistic performances and a ton of downloadable content.

Guitar Hero: World Tour is a trainwreck.

Therefore, I side with Rock Band.

I prefer Rock Band. GH's characters look like a bunch of ugly inbreds and I feel like the note highways are too far into the screen, if you know what I mean. RB also has better DLC.

I like Rock Band's presentation, and unforgivingness. In Guitar Hero, the timing window in which you have to hit notes is much larger. I hate that.

I think Rock Band is the better overall game, but GH Metallica is awsome.

I don't know if these two games are fun or not, maybe ... But i hate GH and Rockband for blocking all the interesting stuff at the Add-On section in XBOX-Live. There are always dozens of songs in the category "latest", you always have to search for the gems cause the only dlc's you see are new songs for these games. :evil:

RB by far.. Activision is just milking the **** out of GH they should just release them as DLC. Also besides GH:M all the newer ones have sucked.
