not nearly as addicting as most other games I have, but it is still pretty fun.

EDIT:
Conquerclub is by far the most addicting game ever.

rock bands better.

My family got my friends' family gt3 for christmas. Pretty addictive and makes you appreciate music more, even for songs you didn't like before.

I was actually cheering for this game to be good, with Harmonix going independent and all, and I wished we could have bought that for my friends instead. The price is much too high unfortunately. My brother played it and likes guitar hero better though.

I don't like the guitar as much, but the overall experience is much more enjoyable, i think.

Without a thought to what you meant with that, I agree. The learning curve is pretty high, having to use both hands rhythmically, especially since I used to play DDR. Oh and then there's Guitar Queero, which spells it out pretty nicely for those who play too much.

guitar hero is HARDER, thats basically the main reason why people like it better. My friend, after 1 day of practicing, could beat a song on expert in rock band (granted, it was the easiest song, should i stay or should i go, and it was for the bass guitar, but still)

however, rockband does the team effort and team building and whatnot, in a way guitar just can't. and i love that. you could be a guitar queero, or you and a bunch of friends could work together to create a musical juggernaut of a band(how can anyone not like this?)

If they make a rock band 2, with all the kinks worked out, I think it could possibly be the best game ever made.

What has better songs? Rock Band or Guitar Hero?

riggable · Post by **riggable** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 11:38 pm

both have good songs, but rock band is doing this thing where they ask the bands to let them release every song of a cd,

so the whos quadrophenia, every track,

the cars first cd, every trackc,

yada yada yada

they've just started doing this, but i'm aquantances with the cars keyboardist and he told me all about this at a dinner thing. its really cool, the band gets 5000$ a song, so thats like 50,000$ right there.

umm.. thats bull. guitar hero takes real skills, while rock band is for 8 year olds. there is "team effort" in gh3 when doing 2 player. rock band sucks

I stink at GH3 but I still like it.

Guitar Hero is stupid.

Now, it COULD be cool if you could plug a REAL guitar into the console and play the REAL tabs......then it would be fun AND educational!

Nah...the entire point of video games is being able to do something that you can't in real life, and most people can't play more than Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the guitar. Hell, I can't even do that.

Actually though, I've heard they are making something kind of like that. It's still being worked on, but you would be able to play various instruments with people online. It would be kind of like Rock Band but with people you don't really know.

I agree its much cooler to play with 4 friends than 2 or yourself, but the biggest problem I'd find with my foursome group of friends is that all of us suck horrendously at singing. We're not big fans of karaoke either. Also, the bass instrument sounds like it'd be just like the guitar, but less fun. With my friends I'd imagine we'd have to switch everyone around every few songs to keep things fair. How do you deal with this?

How many friends do you have? 4 player co-op is better than 2.

First of all, gh, if nothing else, teaches players rhythm. Those long lines of the same notes for half a minute aren't there for nothing.

Second, there's a nintendo DS game that lets you play an acoustic guitar with all the notes and everything; its about as real as it gets. The problem is they forgot to put in a career mode or anything else to motivate you to play it for a while.

While yes, Guitar hero takes the cake for the 'most annoyingly difficult song ever tabulated, only for complete dorks to accomplish' Song award, the rock band songs are in no way easy. Fatty, you are just an idiot. Yes, the songs can be easier on rock band, but you just have to crank it up to expert and the songs can be decently challenging, enough to defintely not make it a cake walk. If it IS a cakewalk for you, you spend too much time playing.

ALso, I hear 2 player GH3 sucks ass.

Not putting down, guitar hero, as I am eagerly looking forward to when it ocmes in the mail for me, but overall, Rockband is just a more enjoyable experience.

"ripoff"? it was made by harmonix

yeah gh3 and rock band are both good.. but rockband has awesome multiplayer!!... the songs on both are awesome awesome choices

Fircoal · Post by **Fircoal** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 11:11 pm

gh3 is a fun game. And it has a big plus that Rockband does not. You can get it for the Wii.

I played them both, Gh3 more, they are both fun. But the console it's for does it for me.
