The Gun Of Bavaria Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 So I won a "Large" sum tonight in a 50/50 drawing and I've been wanting to get RB/GH for the Wii. So I ask: Which one is better for my Wii? Guitar Hero World Tour or Rockband? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Hero World Tour or Rockband? Your best bet is to look at the song lists. The games are pretty damn similar really although from what I've heard the Guitar Hero instruments are a little better. You can always buy the other game later and use the instruments you have since they're cross compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC36 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have PS2 but i enjoy Guitar Hero more. I liked the songs better and those damn drums on Rock Band get really annoying cause most people instead of hitting the pad hit the plastic around it and it pisses me off. maybe thats just the kids that play at my house idk though.

That may explain why I have always heard people say the Guitar Hero drums are quieter. I never really thought they were all that quiet but they do have a rubber ring around the edge that you hit if you miss the pad so maybe that's what they meant.

But like previously recommended check out the song lists and the downloadable songs, as that's half the fun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Rock_Band_2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_downloadable_songs_for_the_Rock_Band_series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The selection on Guitar Hero is downright pathetic. I don't think that would matter to GOB though since he's getting it for Wii. Speaking of Rock Band 2, have you heard if the Guitar Hero instruments do in fact work with RB2 on PS3? I heard that they were supposed to then heard the didn't and now supposedly there is a download that makes them work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is it doesn't have the slide on it like the GH guitars do. I might see if I can find a RB2 bundle with just the guitar then whoever can use the guitar for bass.

I might see if I can find a RB2 bundle with just the guitar then whoever can use the guitar for bass. Yea quite frankly you can find a used one online for pretty cheap, like 25 bucks. The slide does nothing for me to be honest. But then again I mostly play drums and I totally prefer the RB2 drums. My friends and I played plenty of Boston and Stevie Ray Vaughan last night.

Bob Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Rock Band i suppose both suck tremendous balls and are played by 12 year olds who SHOULD be playing instruments... You're right. What we need is a game where 50 people dress up like clowns and wave their arms in the air, chanting "Yay-uh" while one guy mutters incomprehensible gibberish.

Alk Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Christ I can't decide. Dude, I was the same way. It came down to the instruments and most of what I read said the Guitar Hero instruaments were better. For instance the Guitar Hero drums come with 2 cymbals and I believe you have to buy them serperately for Rock Band. For what it's worth, Guitar Hero: World Tour won the award for best video game on the Kid's Choice Awards. LMAO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicious89x Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Christ I can't decide. It's between 2 things really: -"instruments" -Songs RB wins out on songs. And their instruments are COMPARABLE and quite good, although GH has the edge. GH's downloads are pitiful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 If it's a large sum of money, but a real guitar. Those are games I will never buy for the PS3. You owe it to yourself to at least try one of them. I thought it sounded dumb at first but once I tried it it was a blast especially when you get a group of people together.

Plus, for me I've always wanted to play the drums and it ALMOST feels real when you're at the hard/expert levels. I just wish RB2 had double bass!

I used to think the same thing, until I played it for the first time with my wife and friends. It's a great time, especially with some friends and beers.

The only problem is (at least on PS3) that the GH drums won't work on the first RB. They do reportedly work on RB2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, even if you're a musician you can go into this game and have a good time as long as you don't walk into it with your nose up in the air. Not everyone wants to or has the ability to learn to actually play guitar and I personally have no delusion that because I'm good at Guitar Hero that I can pick up a guitar and whail away.

Honestly I'm ok at the guitar but my all time hero is Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan... and it's pretty cool to almost feel like I'm playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
