It has to be better. When there's a competition one thing will always try to be better than another thing.
And considering Rock Band came out in November and GH: WT is coming out, well, WAY later, it obviously has a huge time to improve. Unfortunately.

But the 2 things that piss me off about World Tour is
That it's called... GUITAR Hero. Where the hell did the logic in the title go? Oh well. Fucking corporate America doesn't have logic anyway.
And the 2nd thing is that Neversoft and Activision are blatantly comparing themselves to Rock Band, and saying that they're better and stuff. No shit you guys are better. Your competition came out months before. No need to be arrogant pricks about it.

They are keeping the Guitar Hero Name, so people will know the brand name.

I think they're competing with the franchise, not just the first game. Also, Harmonix has had a very aggressive campaign from the beginning. It's kind of eye-for-eye. Not to mention, This is all the information we have for Rock Band 2:

Rock Band (Video Game)#Sequel

So they can't really compare to a game that's not announced yet.

 

 

Also they know that most people believe the Guitar is the most important and influential instrument in any band, which it is, on stage or in studio. In rock and roll, that is. Other instruments always will be second fiddle and I know it pisses people who play those other instruments off, but this isn't a fanboy thing, the guitar is the leading man in rock and most music. Second would be the singing, third the drums, and a distant fourth is bass.

That's why having bass hero, drum hero, and Singstar, while cool, aren't univerally appealing like a guitar centric title. That's why it's called guitar hero, and that is why is was respected by members of the music community way after less universally appealing dance and karaoke.

 

Now, you can try to tell me that in a band, the singer or guitarist is the most important member, but other than that your kidding yourself. If you tell me the drummer is the most important member, I'm gonna ask you, "Is he also the lead singer" cause again, guitar is cool, guitarists are legends, and rock is founded upon that instrument, along with vocals.

However, rock legends play guitar or sing with an excellent rock legend guitarist as backup. There are no drum heros. Not mainstream ones anyway.

I'm not saying the drums take any less skill to play well, I'm just saying that the leading instrument in a rock band, and the one everyone(when I say everyone, I mean the vast majority) wants to play, is the guitar. Why do you think there are guitar solos in virtually every rock & roll song ever made, lol? Singing and guitar give inflection to songs, while bass and drums play rythym.

 

Now, most modern MTV music, I understand "Rock Band." That isn't what Guitar Hero is about though. It's about rocking, lol. You do that with a guitar.
