Rock Band or Guitar Hero?

The other advantages of actually learning a real instrument instead are that you have a almost infinte amount of tunes to play and when you want to you can go out into the real world and play it, and make a bit of cash too if you are lucky.

Anybody can play well enough to do paid gigs with a litle practise, i didnt say make millions.

Also i cannot imagine a few hundred people paying money to watch and dance to me playing guitar hero.

I like Rock Band better. It gets boring just playing the guitar.


...but DDR will always be my favorite rhythm game n.n

All of the people who say "play real guitar, not Guitar Hero" just can't seem to understand one simple concept.

People play Guitar Hero/Rock Band because they enjoy playing video games, not because they want to imitate playing real guitar or being rock stars.

As common as this analogy is, it's also like how Call of Duty players don't play the game because they want to join the army. They play it because it's a video game and it's fun.

I still haven't played Rock Band.

I just got FC (Full Combo) 100% on "Should I Stay or Should I Go" on Hard. I can play on Expert, but the highest I can get on Expert in 96% on "In Bloom" by Nirvana.

Whichever is available at the time. Both are fun

where's the option of "Neither, they both suck, i'd rather play real guitar"... honestly though i miss my Bass...

[Fate Fatale]

I don't own either, so I'll say Rock Band because it generally has better music selection. Guitar Hero focuses too much on guitar parts and they just kind of threw in drums and vocals to keep up with Rock Band. It's sad really. =[

I like the Guitar Hero World Tour drums... but I just use them for Rock Band. xD

[Fate Fatale]

Haha. I know several people who have done this. =]

For me they are a pain in the @$$! I hate Guitar Hero Drums. I wanna throw holy water at them! They are very hard to be good at!

I understand the concept and I don't think GH/RB players try to imitate playing the real thing. I know its fun. But my point is why spend near 200 dollars on it though?

Because if you are a social gamer with some friends who like it this is certainly money well spent. My roommate bought RB1 when it came in '07 out despite not getting a 360 until summer of '08, and he just bummed of other peoples systems and let them play. Now we just bust it out when we wanna play it together and have some fun, and typically it isn't hard to get all four spots filled up by friends usually we have to round robin the thing). Well worth the $230 he has spent on RB1 and 2 combined in both of our opinions.
