kill it with fire!

dude gh3 is got to be better then rock band i mean rock band is a toatal rip off of gh3 only adding drums and a micraphone the only reason they say to buy it is because of drums when you could just wait and get guitar hero 4 for a cheaper price!

Rock Band Sucks Cock

gh2 is best but gh3 good to but ever since i fugured out i can make my own charts then i mean y buy new gh if u can just grab an mp3 and make the chart lol

Don't worry - they will.

They already did for GH3... heh.

I love F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.!!! Oh and Guitar Hero has better songs, suck it RB.

But how 'bout those downloadable songs...

Wow, comment system FTL.

Yeah it really really sounded like Led.

I agree. I've been a big GH fan (owned all minus the 80s game) and was totally blown away with Rock Band. I went back and played GH3 for the first time since purchasing RB and it just pales in comparison in all aspects (graphics, song selection, gameplay features, party factor, etc)

Nonesense. Any game with F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. in it is the greatest game ever produced in the world. No questions asked. That's why I love Saint's Row, even if i've never even played it.

hahaha barely better? do you play on a standard def tv? because on my highdef, after playing GH3, GH2 graphics hurts my eyes.... OLD

Certainly not the Descendents. Sounds like Zepplin to me. And the Black Crowes.

That's the spirit!

:D

There's no doubt that the guitar part is dumbed down. I play on expert on Guitar Hero and am pretty bored by RB's guitar. But having four friends jamming (and singing) away at a time is much more fun than solo or two-person guitar, IMO. Rock Band is easier but trumps GH in fun, which is what I was paying for.

You've both got it backwards. GH3 has racheted the difficulty UP to the point that the songs don't hardly make sense. Chords where there aren't chords, extra notes that are silent just to make it harder to play. This is the crap GH3 does to make it seem more difficult. RB guitar parts are more "true" to the actually complexity of the song.

Besides, once you get done with guitar, there's still vocals and drums you have yet to master. And I can garaundamntee you, you won't be beating RB drums on expert for a VERY long time.

"I regularly play on hard with no problem. Then I played Rock Band and hard just felt like a joke."

If only there were another difficulty level, even more fun and more challenging than Hard, on Rock Band. A difficulty setting for expert-level players.

Wow, you DO know that theres a higher difficulty than hard in rock Band, right? And honestly, Rock band has its share of hard songs, Green Grass and High Tides and all of the Metallica DLC were pretty much on par with the difficulty level in GH2/3. I can honestly say that Green Grass is harder for me to pass on expert than through the fire and flames, thanks to GH3's retarted Ho/PO system, and Rock Bands Proper timing and HO/PO system.

GH3 took the essence of GH, and crushed it completly.

Actually, yes I have played RB on expert. Read my comment way down there. Still didn't appease me.

I'm right there with ya. I bought Rock Band blindly with all the good things I heard about it and could not have come away more disappointed. The drums are a fun change no doubt, but the guitar playing is AWFUL.

I don't know exactly what it is. It seems like Guitar Hero does a few "unrealistic" things that just make it more fun to play. It seems like the guitar chords have their volume turned up artificially a bit in Guitar Hero, meaning you can actually hear what you're playing whereas in Rock Band I would often strum guitar notes that didn't seem to make any sound in the song. Further, Rock Band seems to stay more true to separating each instrument right down to bass guitar vs. lead guitar. In Guitar Hero, it lets you switch back and forth more often. So in Guitar Hero, if verse 1 has only a bass guitar going and verse 2 has a lead guitar on top of that, you would play the bass guitar in verse 1 and the lead guitar in verse 2 whereas in Rock Band you'd either sit on your ass for 45 seconds picking your nose during verse 1, or play the same repetitive bass track on every section of the song.

I dunno, it's kind of the opposite of what people try and tell me but when I play Guitar Hero (even GH3) I actually feel like I'm playing a song. When I play Rock Band I feel like I'm pressing random buttons while some unrelated music plays in the background.

Wow, somebody actually agrees with me. Yeah on the whole I feel RB is a genuinely good game, but it's not what I want. It's like how i recognize Metal Gear Solid to be good, but I absolutely can't stand playing it, as I don't like espionage. I like to run in guns blazing. RB is fine if you're look for a good multiplayer game. But that's not me. All I want is songs I like, and a difficulty that's a step up from the previous game. And GH III gave me both.

As for drums, I can't stand them. Not that they're bad, it's just I'm a lousy drummer. :P

When my buddies and I wanna party down, there's Rock Band.

When we want to compete, there's Guitar Hero.

When we want to play guitar parts, I get the GH controller and don't have a whole lot of sympathy for whoever gets the garbage RB controller.

Finally!!!!! someone with the same opinion as me!!! i like to play rock band, but after the first few weeks it really got old and the song selection sucked. Expert was way to easy. I am sticking with GH3 and GH2... and possibly GH4

Oh, and if you find RB and "hard" is too easy, there's an "expert" level, you know. If its too easy, turn up the difficulty.

It's not like hard songs don't exist on Rock Band. Green Grass and High Tides likes to kick my ass. The Metallica DLC isn't a cakewalk, either.

And GH4 already? I'm guessing Activision has totally given up on GH3 DLC?

This is like saying you'd rather play ET than Mario 3.

Ugh. Ok if you prefer Rock Band over GH, fine. I don't care. I think it's a fine game. It's just not what I wanted. But don't start trying to compare GH III to E.T. when NOTHING can possibly be at that level. You're basically using a variant of Godwin's Law. I'm sick of people taking a game they didn't like and proclaiming it to be the worst ever made.

Agreed.
