What you should do is look at the track lists and see which one you like more. For me it's an easy victory for Rock Band 2.

I have both and really, they're both great in their own ways... the GH instruments feel a little more... solid... a bit more refined... but RB2 has, arguably, the better song list... GH's 'recording studio' is un-impressive...

Due to the fact i like tradition, i would have to say Guitar hero. Rock band is cool, but guitar hero is the game to get friends round and have a laugh.

I also thing introducing more than just the guitar was daft. Guitar hero is fun, adding other instruments overcomplicated what was already a fun, easy going game.

If you like tradition, you should be going with Rock Band. Guitar Hero is a massive milk machine for Activision. Harmonix is the developer behind both the original Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

From experience, I played both a lot and I say Rock Band 2 is superior Playing World Tour at my friends house was pretty lame, Rock Band 2 was just rock.

for me, RB2 has a more rounded tracklist, while GHWT has way more standout tracks (Tool and Sweet Home Alabama ftw!), but a lot of their filler tracks are just terrible (Eye of the Tiger? seriously?), where RB2 doesn't really have anything that cringe-worthy.

It looks like theres alot im gonna have to look up. The guy at EB told me he's played both and swares that Rock Bands the way to go.

He also says that Rock Bands alot harder then GH and that its a good thing.

Why would Rock Band be harder thow? Is there any truth to this?

If the game is harder to me thats a bonus. Im still going to keep looking for more input from you guys. I have always found going to the game community is better then relying on the reviews.

Thanks for responding, the help is really appreciated, cause both games have one thing in common, they cost a fortune and i really wanna get the best value for my money.

While I am a day behind in my reply, I'm going to go with Rock Band 2. While I think a little more work needs to be done with the peripherals on the harmonix end, I found it hard to support GH:WT. Announced shortly after RB2, including several of the same bands, I just felt like the GH crew were jumping onto the bandwagon in order to make a few bucks (With a side glance to you, Konami!)

On top of that, recently Activision has been releasing the same game over and over since the days of Guitar Hero 2. Rock's the 80s had a few new songs and character designs, but was essentially GH2. GH3 improved a little, but also added a ton of skank to the game, making it less "family friendly" (I don't need anyone's kids getting to the encore song only to see stripper poles drop and bikini clad devil women dancing) GH: Aerosmith is a load of crap, run entirely on GH3 with no new additions. I assume Metallica's GH will only be World Tour again.

So in conclusion, Rock Band for the win as they seem to at least TRY to improve with each iteration.

P.S. Anyone who questions me on the ACDC disc can know that all those tracks can be added to Rock Band 2 and therefore stands differently than Rocks the 80s or Aerosmith.

Guitar hero by far has the way better instruments, the drums are more fun to play, but the big difference is in the guitars, i really wanted to buy rock band last year but i couldnt stand the guitar for it, guitar hero has the better instruments hands down. The songs are up to u to decide but they both have good songs, one problem that i have had with guitar hero is that it is hard to get in an online game, but the game is more fun when u have people over to play anyway.
