I honestly don't know enough about music to answer your mic question very well. There are a few songs where I seem unable to get a low enough tone, but it's not very often. I don't know any guys who can't get high enough, though you may find yourself singing like a jackass for a better score one in a while, heh. The octave displacement issue does come up from time to time, but it really hasn't hindered me from enjoying and of the games.
Guitar Hero 4 (World Tour), Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero Greatest Hits, Guitar Hero Metallica are all full band games, you only list 2 of them.

Singing in Guitar Hero works pretty much exactly the same as Singstar so in that regard it's quite good. It's also got several difficulty settings allowing for a greater level of "close but not quite" accurracy for people to have fun with.

I prefer Guitar Hero especially from World Tour onwards, I only own 3 and 4 of the GH series but I have played others thanks to my music sim addicted friend who brings them and his guitar over to mine to jam out at weekends.

I disagree with Shlups comment about 4 being meh, I enjoy it the only thing that I will say is that when you look at past GH games, none compare for hardness to 3 which really, really was hard. GH periphials are more hard wearing than an equivalent RB instrument however both are cross compatable on the 360/ps3 on wii you can't use them for the other games. IMHO this fact alone makes the wii an unacceptable format for a game genre it should have excelled in which shows to me at least the failings of the wii as a serious console right there. Get it on ps3 and look in to GH4 onwards if you want the full band experience.
