GHWT was well enough, but the font for all menus and especially the song lyrics was awful. Even on a HDTV the letters were illegible at times. Can any GH5 owners let me know if they fixed the font? I almost want to try RB because at least you can read lyrics on that one. It'd be the best of both worlds...GH instruments and RB interface, unless GH5 actually corrected this.

The font is way better. They must have realized their mistake in GHWT because every game since has had it improved - GH Metallica, GH Smash Hits, GH5.

Syclone, thanks for the great news. Now I'm just debating if GH's DLC is worth GH5 for the long run as my GHWT won't get anything new. RB's DLC is just so vast that the long term replayability seems much higher. Even as I played these games less, if I want to see what's new once a month just to play again I'd like to have some good choices from more popular songs. Plus, a used RB2 for the Wii is about $30 on ebay.

If only GH offered as much DLC instead of pumping out separate games.

i think it says a lot when you could buy RB1 used for $15 and have access to a greater library of songs than if you bought GH smash hits, metallica, and world tour.

Yeah well seeing the plethora of used Greatest Hits (Smash hits whatever) at gamestop and GHWT, I just got 55 songs for the price of 320 microsoft points. Can't beat that. Just goto gamestop get a used unique code from the back of one of the used manuals and presto make GH5 have more songs lol.

All the Rock Band stuff works with Guitar Hero and vice versa. I have them on the 360 but I have no idea about the PS3.

What they really need to do is release a patch that lets the game remember your cursor's position in the song list so you don't have to scroll all the way through after each song.

I THINK they finally have all this imcompatibility nonsense fixed on all three systems, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

I only use Rock Band equipment (on PS3), so I can't speak from personal experience. GH:WT worked fine (aside from the note-charting--zing!), so I can't imagine GH5 wouldn't work. It is Activision, though.
