I was gonna get the whole rock band package but now im thinking get guitar hero with guitar and drums and buy just the rock band game.
I played it. Rock Band (2)'s the better game in my mind, no doubt about it. I think it's cool that they have stuff like Hendrix and Ozzy avatars, but I don't think you can argue with the 500 songs available in Rock Band.
Will the hardware work with Rock band and vis versa? I like the look of the rockband soundtrack but I had a play with the guitar you get with rockband and I was not impressed with its responsiveness one bit
Everything from Rock Band works on Guitar Hero... I'm not sure about the other way around though. The Rock Band guitar is awful though... I traded mine in at Gamestop for like 23 bucks or something. I use the GH2 X-Plorer guitar. The drums from what I understand are better on GH, and the mic is the same. I'll be getting this at some point in the next few weeks. There are so many games coming out I'm just going to wait. (GoW2, 007, COD5)
I hated the Rock Band 1 guitar. I'm getting the GH equipment today, and I'm going to buy Rock Band 2 later. The Beatles are going to be in Rock Band. The Beatles!
