me and my brother are wanting to get either of these games, but were not sure which one. we like both of them so were not sure. Positives about rock band for us is we could do band world tour together and with friends, but its so freakin expensive. guitar hero 3 would be fun to play with and against eachother and its cheaper, but its not as much fun as playing drums and singing along with the guitar. what do u guys think?

I would go with GH3 unless you know you are going to have a group of people to play Rock Band with on a regular basis. :)

Yep, Guitar hero 3 is rock hard on anything above normal, and the achievements are very hard to get. I think it was made for people who were great at the previous games, not very noob friendly at all. I'm having a hard time with it. I've never played Rock band but I've heard it's far more forgiving than Guitar hero 3 on the harder settings.

Get guitar hero 3, yes both games will get repeptitive, but honestly guitar hero 3 lasted me longer, and yes also gh3 is for people who are good at the previously released gh games, so if you weren't one of those people then get rock band i suppose

or you could get gh3 with the guitar and pick up a cheap copy of gh2 so that you have more songs to play. you could also pick up the rock band game and play those with just the guitars for even more songs.

If you have real life friends, get Rock Band. It's got way more too it, can be played with 4 people, and is just a blast. GH3 is really just if you feel elite and want a big challenge, Rock Band takes the cake in every other aspect.

Rock Band is fun if you can get people to come over and play it with you, but it's not that fun by yourself IMO. Guitar Hero III is really for the more experianced players and you'll get pretty frustrated if you haven't played the first two.

You gotta find a way to get both. GH3 is such a fun single player, but Rock Band provides for a fun multiplayer experience.

Rock Band is an amazing party game. I'm going to suggest that you get that game, unless you don't have anyone to play with...

Rock Band is by far the better choice. So much more to it. If you can get a bunch of guys together you will have a blast, especially if you get somebody to sing. Trust me, get Rock Band.

Depends. Both are great. GH3 is the best choice if you're playing by yourself or if you want good guitar songs. Rock Band is a must if you want drums or vocals of course. But make sure other people will play with you, because solo career isn't nearly as good as the band mode. However, the guitar lines take a hit in Rock Band, and the guitar that comes with it is not nearly as good as the GH3 one. Guitar lines in rock band aren't as good or challenging as the ones in GH, but solos are fun because you can use effects. I'm a bassist myself, so i was a bit annoyed when i found i couldn't play a solo bass career in Rock Band, but that shouldn't be a factor to you unless you're a bassist too. But then again, you can't even play bass in quickplay on GH3, so i shouldn't be complaining... Overall, both are great games, but it all comes down to your personal interests.

I recommend Rock Band for anyone who will regularly have 2+ people playing.
