These are games people. Any time something is successful there will be other companies that make copies, Guitar Hero and Rock Band are the best of the genre but there are a few more out there. Each game has it’s own strenghts and weaknesses, and in turn attracts different buyers. Stop whining about which is better, it costs too much, it is not real (that is why it is called a game)and get a life.

Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2 both can use eithers insruments, and a few of the other games can use them too.

Guitar Hero World Tour drums in expert mode are supposed to be the exact sheet music for the songs, so for the drums, this could be a teaching game. As for the guitar, I have never found anyone who thinks that because of Guitar Hero or Rock Band they know how to play guitar.

It is a game, have fun with it!

Yeah I’m not gonna really buy this thing right away. I’m actually not being a single piece of the new gh equipment till my REAL band plays the gigs, gets the money. Then I can blow it on the cool crap like World Tour that honestly doesn’t mean a thing to our society. I still love it though!!!

GH has always been better, and always will be. i bought RB and sold it to a friend cause it sucked. all i liked was the vocals. now that GH has them….im sold

dno bout u lot i dnt particuly care if they ripped off the idea of RB or not only thing im interested in which is da better game and by looks of thing GH looks better. ill prob w8 2 play both at a m8s or somet and see which is better dan buy da better one

OK THIS IS DUMB…I LIKE GH AND GO AND MAKE A ROCK BAND WTF

UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH

WHAT

THE

FUCK

HAPPENED

TO

HAVING

A

REAL

BAND

… for all the money you spend on these frickin doo-dads, you can buy affordable intruments and start doing this crap fr youself. Way to go w/ the create-a-lick guitar Hero, keep fuckin dumbing down America.

shyit 200$ thats a fukin xbox whats the deal

Oh God, 200 bucks for this? Fuck. I want this, but 200 bucks really isn’t worth it. I’ll just get the game and wait for Guitar Hero: Metallica before I get a goddamn guitar.

it sounds like this will just be an overcharted mess for all 4 parts…

The question is do people really want to congest their house/apt with more instruments for a video game? Rock Band was priced at $169.99 while GH4 will be priced at $199.99.

You guys are dumb. Guitar hero got ripped off by Rockband and they are now doing this so that the video game reaper will come and take Rockband’s soul back to hell.

Rock Band II will be better than Guitar Hero: World Tour

oh god, now what do i do with rock band when this comes out?

The first two Guitar Hero games were made by Harmonix and Red Octane. Harmonix had the original concept and did the software while Red Octane came up with the guitar controller.

A couple years ago, Activision bought Red Octane and the rights to the Guitar Hero name. Activision put its Neversoft studio (which did the Tony Hawk series) on Guitar Hero 3. Meanwhile, MTV bought Harmonix, which then created Rock Band.

Wasn’t RB made by the same people who made GH? That mean’s they knew what they were doing, and they’re trying to attract people to the games. I found RB harder (guitar to guitar comparison) than GH, so maybe the drums and stuff will be more difficult for GH4.

Rock Band didn’t rip off GH because the people who made the first two GH games went on to make Rock Band. GH 3 was made by different developers.

Ummmmm… didn’t Rock Band sorta rip off GH with it’s idea?

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Carlos?

Well who the hell didn’t see this coming? There’s no possible way GH could have possibly outsold Rock Band with their standard format, so they completely rip off of their idea by going all out with nearly life-size guitars and the closest thing you can get to an actual electronic drum kit. Granted, it will give them more sales, but could they be anymore obvious?
