In the beginning, there was DDR. It brought forth from its arcade confines a slew of home console spinoffs. Eventually, a group of developers from a small company saw that music games were ripe for some good music, like rock and metal. Thus Guitar Hero was born. From this game came more sequels and spinoffs, like Rock The 80's, On Tour, and a load of horrible toys. Rock Band came after the original company left for EA. Now that the success formula of guitar, bass, drums, and mics have proven to work, it looks like Konami, DDR creator, is grabbing for the gold ring. And failling epically. The fact that the tracks (only 41) are covers is one bullet to the spleen of the game. The HOPOs are completely nonexistent, the note charts are off, and there are virtually NO matches online. Save your money, get Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero World Tour. They are much more value and fun.
