360 Guitar hero 3 vs Rock band!

Forget the singing...and the drums..and go down to basics...the guitars..

solo play...the songs that you get with GH3...are to me a lot worse..than the ones on Rock band. Its got a much..wider variety in comparison, plus a lot better selection of songs, from the bands. Even though, such things as "when you were young" and "repitillia" and "cherub rock" are still there, the stones song is better, metallica..is so so.. but overall the songs to me are better. The sweet, the who, alongside queens of the stoneage and bon jovi, classic.

Multiplayer..rock band is a lot more aimed towards the multiplayer than GH3, randomness in set lists, quest "goals" and it seems to be a lot harder to raise cash to get things too.

The solo's are easier visible, but the skippynotes are buggers to play. Watching the bands "actions" while the songs playing is a lot better on RB than on GH3, they actually..work with whatever songs playing (tambourine on jet, cow bell on blue oyster cult)

Downloads...RB already beats GH3...with a lot more songs coming out..with people releasing new stuff, purely for RB, which is weird...but good.

...aint trying to be a fanboi, but RB kicks GH3's arse in my mind, except for the online play..harder to get matches. BUT the fact that can do co-op online is a good addition too. Songs in GH2..were better than GH3 mind, so :/

...so anyone wanna be in my band?

Hey I agree with ya. I own both games and the one I keep going back to is RB. Now don't get me wrong, GH3 as far as difficulty is MUCH higher on guiter than that of RB (I have 2 songs left on RB vs 5 in GH3 on expert). But the point you made about music selection, I have wanted to spend more on RB from the XBLM soley because of the wide selections of music offered. I give a thumbs up to Rock Band.

Had Rockband for a while now. As I had GH2 and GH3 and a microphone already didnt really feel like forking out the extra money for drums. Decided though to go for the Band in a Box and was going to order it today, which was nice timing as Rockband 2 has been announced for September this year with all new instruments that are a bit more reliable. So Think I will wait and see, doubt it will reach Europe then but RB2 is timed 360 exclusive so could see it over here earlier this time round.

But then its also about the same time Guitar Hero 4 comes out, and the drums for that look rather nice. May have to move to a bigger house so I have room for all the plastic instruments

Well all I can say is, Harmonix has yet to disappoint so I am sticking with Rock Band 2 over Guitar Hero 4. The song list is supposed to be immaculate, ALL d/l content from the first will auto load into RB2, and lastly the entire track list is 100% master tracks this time so I am definately sticking with it.

Most importantly though my rock chick in Rockband looks pretty hot.
