RB or GH3?

[cody56]

Hey guys, after I get home from vacation in 2 weeks I'm going to have the choice of buying either RockBand or Guitar Hero 3. My parents said they would pay for half of RockBand but I just don't know which I like better.

[Agozer]

Rock Band. I've heard that Guitar hero III isn't as good as the prequels.

But what would I know?

[Lucandrake]

Rockband > GH3.

 

Also, GH2 > GH > GH3.

 

So there you have it .

[JKKDARK]

Guitar Hero 3

 

There are more crap songs on Rock Band

rock band

Guitar Hero III is more fun if you're gonna play by yourself using a guitar.

 

Rock Band CAN be fun if you get the whole band thing going, but the guitar parts in RB are definitely more boring than GH3's.

 

I'd say go GH3. Remember that GH3's Les Paul is compatible with RB, but not the other way around.

[Gryph]

Rock Band only if you have real friends to play with.

[L.S.D]

GH3. only becaise I don't have Rock Band to give an accurate opinion about it.

[Skythe]

First I'd like to know how GH3 ain't as good as it's prequels. And it better not be because of how the lead singer looks either.

 

This was hard for me to choose as I've played the sh!t out of both.

 

Rock Band is only truly good if you have a group. It'll get boring if you play solo real quick like. Plus you have to play all the songs to beat it unlike the GH games where you can at least skip one song in each tier. RB does actually teach you how to handle each instrument and how to get better at it. RB also has some great songs and awesome downloadable ones as well. Has a dull look towards the game. Faith No More. Some songs on here are also on GH3 except you also get to play the other instruments.

 

GH3 is alot more entertaining. The downloadable songs are sh!t. To unlock all songs in the game you have to play co-op to unlock about 5 or 6 songs. Alot more colorful. Don't have to play all songs to beat the game thus not having to endure as much of a headache. A better, sturdier guitar that can be used with RB.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pick your poison.

[cody56]

Ok, one question. Are any of the downloadable songs for either free?

[Gryph]

Not that I'm aware of. Those games are designed around selling new songs.

[BlackKnight]

Ok, one question. Are any of the downloadable songs for either free?

 

There are for the 360. Occasionally singles are free for a limited time and the Halo 3 theme has always been free. There is also a Christmas carol that has always been free.

I say Rock Band because;

 

GH3 isn't the best GH in the series. Neversoft played it safe with the forumla and I don't blame them. However, this does bring to the attention too that GH4 must bring something new to the table.

 

Rock Band is *multiplayer* all the way. It's THE best party game out there right now. Even with they make no updates too it other then Song Packs, it will beat GH out of the water because it has a better offering over all... If you have friends or play online (or both).

 

What Rock Band needs to be even better would be:

 

Pearl Jam

Queen

Guitar Dueling

 

I can live without the PJ and Queen, but Guitar Dueling would be pretty much win. Or any type of Dueling for that matter.

[Inky]

GH3 boss battles are lame as hell. and are the deal breaker for me. I have all 3, RB GH2 and GH3. I play the hell out of GH2 the others sit and collect dust.

[Skythe]

Ok, one question. Are any of the downloadable songs for either free?

 

Rock Band no. Guitar Hero 3 yes. GH3 has all three boss battle songs free (Devil Went Down To Georgia being the only one worth while), Halo Theme mix, and some other song I don't remember. GH3's buyable songs are not that interesting. Rock Band has packs and singles. The packs are all 440 pts each while the singles vary from I think it's 140 and 80 pts respectfully.

 

GH3 boss battles are lame as hell. and are the deal breaker for me. I have all 3, RB GH2 and GH3. I play the hell out of GH2 the others sit and collect dust.

 

GH2 had the worse cover song vocals in any of the games.

 

 

 

Anywho.

 

RB to me has absolutely no replay value at all. Sure you can keep playing songs over and over, earn money and buy all guitars and clothing items but that's all you do and you get nothing out of it except the ability to constantly change your characters looks. GH3 had characters, songs, guitars, guitar finishes, character costumes, and videos. Plus if you're going for achievement points, GH3 has the more interesting ones.
