GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Sunday, Jun 7, 2009

Seeing as the Band video games have become a new trend and everybody seems to be into them, I figured it'd be nice to have another debate in video games. Rock Band was developed by Harmonix right after they branched off from the Guitar Hero franchise. Activision had taken over the Guitar Hero series and apparently had the plans for a "rock band" game prior to Harmonix leaving, but hadn't acted on it till after Rock Band came out. I'm sure there is more to the history of this feud, but one thing is for sure: Each game has rounded up a good amount of fans. As much as each person has their own preference to hot dog toppings, each person either likes Rock Band or Guitar Hero.Some people prefer Rock Band the game with World Tour's instruments, or vice versa. So list which game and instrument set up you like the most, and then explain why you think the game is better.

I here recently got to play some of Rock Band because my brother has it for the PS3. But anyways so I have seen the differences between both of the games. And there are certain things that I like better in one then I do the other. For example, like with creating a character it seems like Rock Band has a LOT more stuff you can do with your character then Guitar Hero World Tour. Both GHWT and RB have almost the same set list of songs but I have always heard the RB has then better one though. And I have played all the instruments for the GH WT but I have only played Guitar for RB so I can't really compare them yet. But just because I have played this one series the whole time then I would have to go with GH.

Cool. I pretty much agree. I like World Tour's instruments, and like RB's game, but overall, I'm glad I picked up GHWT.

Well I have Rock Band 2, a USB mic, Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul, and a Rock Band 2 drum set. the only thing i didn't like about the rock band games were their guitars wich is why i bought one of the guitar hero ones, other than that i find it to be more enjoyable. I loved the creat a character modes deph on RB and the fact you can get almost all of the RB songs for RB2 for only $5 was a strong selling point for me. Also it's cool how RB has new songs for sale every Tuesday online so it's set list is much more expansive than GH and i don't have to swich out discs. Also i just liked the visuals during the songs for RB better since they feel more like a music video and help you get into the feeling of being a rock star.
