The Guitar Hero Thread

[Fitzy]

So I just beat the drum career on hard. Really easy compared to Rock Band, overall. Only real challenges was Vicarious as I was still getting use to the blue/green placement on this drumset and Trapped Under Ice which I failed at 40% four times before passing it. Pull Me Under is ridiculously easy.

Drums on hard are basically like a stepped down from Rock Band hard drums. I think Eddie Ruckus said this when I asked how they were and I have to agree with that. They leave out a lot of bass hits. too. I'll give expert a try at some point to see if it is between hard/expert on Rock Band drums. But yeah, it's really easy but still fun to play.

Hearing La Bamba in a RB/GH game is odd.

I've only tried the guitar once and I have trouble keeping up with Everlong on Rock Band on expert but on GH I can pass it without any real problems. I stopped there, though.

Playing a Tool set list with sqeak and his friend to get the Schism 444,444 achievement and getting over half a million and no achievement was such a waste of time.

[King Ellis]

lol, Fitzy. It needs 4 people. You dumb.

[Fitzy]

It doesn't say that like the other ones you need 4 players for. :/

[LL!]

This game fun lads. We play more of.

I hopped onto the Guitar Hero bandwagon a few games too late by picking up GH3 for £35 yesterday.

All I can say is it's phenomenally good, despite not being able to play that well (I kick ass on easy... but that's easy >_<)

I'm thinking of getting another game with my GameStation vouchers, and I'm stuck between picking up GH:WT or RB1. I've heard that the GH3 controller will work with both games but I'm not sure how reliable that information is.

WT has the whole familiarity aspect, and free downloads every once in a while

Rock Band has a few songs from GH3 but features Radiohead, Faith No More and the Pixies

So it's a kinda difficult choice... which I'll probably make once I grab the first one that hits *< £20

Rock Band far superior.

Wow, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Rock Band far superior.

Hotel California defeats Rock Band. Fatality.

[Kyle_]

I wouldn't say Rock Band is far superior, but it is better in my eyes. Both games are good though.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Hmm, some place is selling the Aerosmith version of Guitar hero with guitar for £31. I normally don't like Aerosmith, but is it a good deal for the guitar on its own? Besides I could probably just sell the game/force myself to like them.

[Cactus Drags]

One song does not a good game make. Rock Band gets it right, Neversoft just wants bumlove from the 6-fingered freak brigade. They're not so bad on World Tour, but I hate the new setlist arrangement.

[Tarheels.]

I'm with Dragsy. I think Rock Band is better than Guitar Hero now. I've bought every GH since the first one and I don't own Rock Band but I play it with my friends when they bring it over more than I play GH and enjoy it miles more than GH. It actually feels like musicians made the game, which is why I enjoy it more.

[Matt]

Am I the only one who thinks they're equally as good and arguing over which is better is just a wee bit petty? Yeah, thought so.

[zero]

The concepts are equally good... but when it comes to presentation and gameplay, they are different games.

[Katsuya]

Ugh. So, having been playing it on Medium for a while, I try to step it up to Hard (I'm not good at rhythm games, okay!?). My fingers on my left hand don't work anymore, and I still suck.

Cry for useless Kats?

Very true. Personally I prefer Guitar Hero for peripherals and Rock Band for software and tracklist. Both are good either way though.

[Drake Smashem]

Rock Band also has a much larger selection of DLC, due to it being out for longer though...

[Dan]

Flo Rida is awesome.
