I've never owned any GH game or Rock Band, but I'm definitely going to pick up one of these when they come out

Which do you think looks better? Which has the better track list? also, do you know the pricing for each and their release dates?

GH WT all the way, drums look way better and look like they wont break as easy. I play guitar in all of the games anyways so i might as well stick with the game that started thw whole consle/music sensation.

If you haven't touched a GH or RB game before, stick with RB. GH is after more of a 'please the fans' type crowd by providing punishing difficulty above and beyond the prior release. But that is only one small facet of the comparison. Take a look at this and decide for yourself. Either way though it is a pretty fun genre that is fun to play.

Rock Band.

Better track list, more DLC (and more reliable DLC), $5 upgrade with the first Rock Band's songs if you can borrow the disc from someone, more streamlined interface and no boss battles. Doesn't have user created tracks, though, but given its convoluted and very mod-like nature I doubt there will be many good songs.

Harmonix started the Guitar Hero franchise before selling it to Activision and moving on to Rock Band - continuing to support Guitar Hero is supporting an inferior product as well as giving the finger to the very people who created the game in the first place.

Plus Rockband 2 has a "jukebox" mode where you can select songs and let the band just play them without you. So you can finally just listen to the music you bought. I havent heard any mention of this feature in GHWT. Rockband 2 also has a "drum trainer" that allows you to freestyle on drums. I also havent heard anything about GHWT having this either. It doesnt mean its not in GHWT, but i havent heard anything about it.

ghwt tracklist better? are you counting dlc? gh dlc support sux, 100+ songs vs. 500+ by then end of the year, their is no comparison, plus gh admits to altering the songs difficulty based on the bands request. only thing better about gh is the peripherals, the drums look sick, but they should be better, obviously their gonna look at the rb drum kit and say "how can we make that better". my prefrence is rb2, you get weekly dlc (which is never less then 3 songs, and its usually more, this tuesday is 6 songs), you can buy just one song if you want, and the dlc cost less (80 to 160 msp, plus a discount if you buy a track pack or album). im gonna get em both, but if i had to choose 1 it would be rb2, they support their product way better.

Gonna be getting RB2 first day, then GH probably at Xmas. If you are having a tough time deciding which to get go with the one most of your friends are getting or the one that has the most appealing song list for you.

The only thing here that RB2 can't do is the 'make your own songs part'. Sure enough RB2 doesn't have that. But it has everything else you mentioned...

you do understand that without Harmonix there wouldnt be any games like rock band or guitar hero right

Remember Guitar Freaks? Drum Mania? Harmonix just made it available at home, but if I had to choose i pick GH: WT because it will most likely be harder than RB2

why would i care about a jukebox thats what computer is for and media player 11 or zune software is for. i can go download it then streem it to my xbox in any freaken game

world tour has custom tracks u can make your own songs then even go download other ppl things ooo

hi guys, what's this?

OH IT SEEMS TO LOOK LIKE $30 CYMBALS FOR ROCK BAND 2 THAT DO THE SAME THING AS GH WORLD TOURS LOL OH HOW SILLY.

seriously just because GH world tour has cymbals doesn't make it better. rock band 2 has them, too. they just cost 30 dollars more, and you get a better drum set with rock band 2. seriously there just seems to be no comparison. harmonix = win. activision = fail.
