A great song and very difficult, but its easily a teir down from Fire & Flames still. 

With that said I don't think a game should need to have something as difficult as Fire & Flames to be considered hard and BG&HT is easily hard enough that difficulty just isn't a valid complaint.

I think famousringo has it right, if you love the guitar and thats all you're really interested in then GH is probably more your bag, RB is built around a more rounded group experience and if the song selection for the game reflects that I hardly think its a bad thing. 

Personally, GH is definitely more my bag, but I might stick RB on a gift list and see if I can sucker..err be blessed to recieve it =)

Yeah, that's how I feel atm. No doubt its a good game, but I personally, have a favorite in Guitar Hero, but that's not saying RB is bad(as I originally thought) its just a step lower in overall difficulty, but it still has its challenges to the experienced player.


@famousringo

It's just me, but I hate the drums. It's like playing the bass to me, lol. So god aweful I'd rather shoot myself.


I definately could sing though. I'll give that a shot today.



I think my favoritism mostly derives from the song selection being very Guitar Heavy, and imo, better in Guitar Hero 3...

...and the fact that I've played guitar for about 12 years irl, lol.



Also, I think that either way you go:

Solo: Guitar Hero 3 is better

2 or more: RockBand is better

That's just my opinion anyway.

decent review, you echo what i have heard first hand.

I'd rather sing or play drums since it's closer to being in an actual band. Guitar is still enjoyable to me, and I've played GH1-3, but the experience of Rock Band is far greater, imo. The DLC for Rock Band kills GH, too. You can now preview songs in the Rock Band store (accessible in-game), and it rates the songs' difficulty on all 4 instruments. It's easily my favorite game of this generation now, and only one of a handful of games I've bought since I only play multiplayer games now. I've gotten Marvel: UA, Brawl, NCAA Football, and now Rock Band. Rock Band is easily the best multiplayer game ever, imo.

Yeah, the DLC on Rock Band is done SOOOOOOOO much better than it is on GHIII. Harmonix really ran with DLC and took it to entirely new places. They still haven't even come out with the complete albums the promised...a long time ago. No one has noticed though because the DLC has been so damn good.

GHIII does what it does better than Rock Band does, but Rock Band does things that GHIII could never do. Drums are ridiculously challenging, but I am not a natural drummer.
