thanks for that, very interesting. ive read on a few forums that the instruments are the key to the game being any good or not (sounds obvious i know). I was being swayed more towards Rock Band 2, but I had read on some forums that the drums detect hits on other pads which doesnt sound too good. but i really like the idea of a no-fail mode, as im sure ill be absolutely terrible to begin with. Can you buy guitar hero instruments and use them on Rock Band 2 and vice versa?

hello there fellow gamespotters(?), I am considering getting either Guitar Hero: World Tour or Rockband 2 for xmas. I have read lots of reviews of each game, and I'm struggling to see which is the clear defined "better" game. Some reviewers say RockBand 2 has better instruments, whereas others prefer Guitar Hero. I just want to know from anyone who owns either or both games, which one would be the better purchase. now before I pose the question stated in the thread title, I would like to establish some guidelines: 

1) This is not a GHWT or RB2 fanboy battleground, play nice.

2) Both the software and the hardware of each game needs to be taken into account

3) I'm a total music game n00b, so try and stick to lamens terms when describing the various merits of each games instruments and gameplay

 

so, which one should I buy and why?
