I know what you mean... I feel the same way. It just seems overdone. Guitar hero is different. It's fun and challenging, but you aren't REALLY pretending to be playing the music. Pretending to have a band with your friends seems kinda... dumb. Anyway, I don't think Harmonix has anything to fear from Rock Band. The pricing is just way too high for it to be much competition to Guitar Hero.

Harmonix is making Rock Band. Activision ditched Harmonix and is churning out more Guitar Heros as they go, basically milking the same formula with new songs every time.

If there is actual justice, Rock Band should bury Guitar Hero because both these games belong to them and Activision used Harmonix unfairly and stole their formula.

Something tells me a game that is backed by EA and MTV and is being made by the people who made Guitar Hero a success is going to be successful.

Not to mention that MTV has already committed to weekly new songs to come out on Rock Band as downloadable content.

Oops sorry my mistake.  That's true, I'm not saying Guitar Hero was anything original at all.  I think it's being made well, the problem is that it's just so expensive.   I think people will look at it and look at Guitar Hero and go with the familiar product.  Anyway, that's just my opinion.  I think it looks like a great game, it's just too rich for my blood.  I'm sure it's decent standalone, but I would want the full experience, and I can't afford to pay that much.
