I voted Rockband because it took the rhythm/music genre to the next level. Also because its one of the few games I've ever played that everyone enjoys. Gamer or not everyone enjoys Rockband. IMHO the best group/party games ever.
Guitar Hero wins IMO. Once GH4 comes out, the Rock Band series will be a thing of the past.JAB991
Um. GH4 IS Rock Band. A blantant rip off. If anything, the name alone will sell it. But Neversoft wins no innovation points with GH4. Also, if Neversoft continues the lack of DLC on GH4 as they did with the last games, it'll fail.
Epic fail with no mention of DJ MAX Portable or Taiko no Tatasujin Portable. That and IIDX StyIe 14 Gold.
Some things I find very sad...
1) Some people think Rock Band and Guitar Hero started rhythm games. 2) Some people have come to think, thanks to Rock Band and Guitar Hero, that accuracy is a bad thing. 3) All the Konami music games brought here from Japan failed because there wasn't any "rock" music and you couldn't "feel like a rockstar" while playing them.
'The only problem with the song creator is I don't see it working that well.MortalDecay
I think a lot of people are overestimating the song creator. I think half the people think they can place music on the harddrive and play them through guitar hero but it won't work that way (it violates song rights).
GH and RB should be on the same line; I find them to be very similar. And is Singstar not a rhythm game, what about DDR? Games are still being made for the PS2 you know.

what was the very first Rhythm game ever made? I need to know because I debate alot. lol
Rock Band = loads of DLC for a reasonable price, much more legible music bars and you can actually tell what notes are hammer-ons. Downside is the flimsy guitars, but the drum and vocal aspect makes up for it, plus band tour mode is awesome. Rock Band 2 has a great online segment as well. Not getting rehashed to death with abysmal spinoffs like Aerosmith and an 80's version of Guitar Hero which was just a collection of horrible covers. Guitar Hero = milkage with already 5 installments over the course of 3 years and apparently more on the way. DLC is too expensive, some cover tunes are extremely horrible (vocals on Texas Flood for instance), GH3 was a complete wank fest that catered towards metalheads more then anyone else and was at times extremely annoying. Poorly implimented online system for the Wii with massive disconnect and freezing errors. Rock Band wins for consoles, Elite Beat Agents for handhelds.

The first "music game" was PaRappa The Rapper in 1996 and the first "rhythm game" was Beatmania in 1997. AFAIK. thanks I had to look it up it's not the first rhythm game but first mondern rhythm game
Rock Band. Guitar Hero tries too hard to be "super challenging" and for the most part ends up not being fun anymore. Thats fascinating that its hard to play a song that fills the entire screen with a bazillion notes. But its not really fun.
Rock Band on the other hand finds a better balance between challenge and entertainment.
