Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero 4?

same here as adom

depends if the drums are compatible like the guitars are. I wont be getting the GH4 set though as i already have rock band and what on earth would I do with two sets of drums and mics? I just hope they will make the drums in good spirate so that they are compatible with both games so i can just buy the disk if the songs are any good.PdPstyle

Although it could happen both set might not be compatiable. Since there both competition. Actvision/Neversoft has had problems with Harmonix with the GH Guitar on the PS3. So if you get both games you might need both sets.

Why do we need to pick sides? How many of you have both Rock Band and Guitar Hero III? I'm getting both. As for bundles, I've got Rock Band and although I CAN afford the GH:WT bundle, I won't on principle. Guitar Hero: World Tour ripped off Rock Band down to the title and then just added one thing to make it all incompatible. While I hate that Guitar Hero did that, I also love the genre and the games, so I'm going to buy the game by itself. I like that Rock Band 2 is compatible with Rock Band and that all the songs are backward compatible and forward compatible (meaning the DLC is going to be "Rock Band DLC" and compatible with all Rock Band games). Additionally they are also teasing the original tracks from Rock Band is free DLC when Rock Band 2 comes out, which will make all kinds of wierd issues with Gamestop as the game will become useless.

As for compatability, on the 360 I'm pretty sure the guitar and drums for GH: WT will work in rock band, but not the other way because they're one pad short. If you don't already own a bundle, buy the GH: WT bundle and use it with both games. On the PS3, unfortunately, Sony lets them alter their technology so they won't be compatible. Make no mistake, the biggest problem I have with Activision/Neversoft (Guitar Hero: World Tour) is that they cloned Rock Band (which I can't really jump on them because what else are they going to do?) but they ALSO are working to make Rock Band and Guitar Hero completely incompatible. I like Rock Band because it is more about making everything work together.

So to answer the question, I'll be buying both Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour but game only, no bundles.

i want create a song, because theres no White Stripes... i want a better songlist... maybe some more guitar hero's on the game, cough cough, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Clapton, ACDC, Stripes.

I think harmonix are better in music game so I will take RB2

and imo i think gh2 was really better than gh3

Why do we need to pick sides? How many of you have both Rock Band and Guitar Hero III? I'm getting both.spydersvenom7

This doesn't hold up as an argument seeming RB did something GH3 did not. GH:WT on the other hand seems very comparable to RB2.

Additionally they are also teasing the original tracks from Rock Band is free DLC when Rock Band 2 comes out, which will make all kinds of wierd issues with Gamestop as the game will become useless.

Rock Band 2.

Harmonix made Guitar Hero what it was. Activision simply bought the license from them and began whoring the game out. I realize business is business, but when you've got slowdown problems, bad DLC and those ridiculous boss battles I can't in good conscience support what they've done to the franchise. Way to Tony Hawk the Guitar Hero games, Activision.

the games are the SAME THING , am I the only know who gets this

its all going to come down to the songs

I love harmonix and hate activision, and I all ready have rock band and alot of content for it, so my choice is kinda clear

sorry for double but many people will buy guitar hero 4 just becuase it has "guitar hero" on it, witch is pretty dumb

GH4. I liked GH3, and I'm a drummer.

Guitar Hero 4 for sureSSBFan12

GH4 will have the band, create modes, and the difficulty nuff said.

RB2 hands down - why you crazy gh4 fans ask?

because gh4 is simply copying RB and RB2

Harmonix created gh1 and gh2, then split up before gh3

gh3 was horrible because the game was way too hard (although i still beat it) and multiplayer mode was a piece of crap

Harmonix went on to create Rock Band, and with people, its a big hit

sorry for double but many people will buy guitar hero 4 just becuase it has "guitar hero" on it, witch is pretty dumb

i know its crap. and its not even guitar hero anymore. they just plopped the drums and vocals in there and all of a sudden people love it. look at both the mics, guitar hero did nothing but plop their logo on there. with the drums the symbals are way to wobbly and maybe if you hit it too hard something might happen . idk lets just see when it comes out

and RB2 comes out before GH4 so.....yeah :P
