Hey, let's be an ass and make insulting comments at people for no apparent reason whatsoever!

Because clearly, you're not able to pay attention to detail in the least. If I don't care about DLC in Rockband or Guitar Hero, then it's fairly obvious that I won't give a shit about the music creator, since that's effectively the same concept.

And I made it very clear that I am not mad about buying the inferior game. I'm mad that Harmonix didn't take Wii owners seriously. Yeah, I should have researched it. But you know what? I like my copy of Rock Band, as that game itself. If they didn't have all this other content in the versions that released seven months earlier, then I wouldn't give a shit about the fact that they're not in the Wii version. But part of a boycott includes not owning anything from that company - even if you got it before boycotting them. Or got it for free.

I'm not unhappy with the game itself - I'm unhappy with Harmonix's obvious insult to Wii owners. Again, pay a bit of attention, eh? If you're going to criticize somebody, at least make your criticism partially intelligent. Until you can do that, you're only going to make a fool of yourself.

Anyways, @outlawauron - I didn't know that. I recall specific statements saying the Wii would have every feature - fully - that the PS3/360 versions have. If that's the only thing it's lacking, though, then I really won't give a crap. As I said before, I'm not one to care about that stuff much. Besides, the Wii version has other stuff that, IMO, makes up for that. Thanks for letting me know about that, though.

Bought World Tour and it hasn't swayed me from preferring Rock Band.

Character editor was a bit more in depth, but still lacks the personality of RB that I enjoyed. I think it's the animations.

The instrument editor has replaced actual licensed guitar models, which I preferred. No more Gibson endorsement? Boo.

Track builder is... tedious. I still haven't tried putting anything together, but it dawned on me that I'd rather be composing and building a track in Garage Band on the Mac instead, rather than a limited sound video game music editor. But, it will still be interesting to see what users come up with.

Didn't like the new guitar at all. It wasn't worth an extra $40, which would have been better spent towards a copy of RB2 since the RB guitar works perfectly with WT. The slide/tap section of the fret board is kind of weak.

If you have the original RB and pay the $5 upload cost, you have access to a much larger library, not even including the free DL tracks. Plus, the current RB tracks available on PSN completely dwarfs what's available for World Tour since GH tracks won't work with it (would require adding drum and vocal tracks).

I'm pretty sure I'd prefer using the WT drum set, but... do I really want TWO sets of toy drums sitting by the TV? Only if I manage to break the RB drum set. (Note to self: must play drums harder)

And the drum practice/tutorial for RB2 is quite excellent, even if it is an understated feature. Wii Music drum tutorial? No thanks. It's more fun using a pair of drum sticks and actually hitting something physical.

Play real guitar that's what I do I'm not getting WT nor RB2.But I'm really thankful to gh for getting me into music.

Buy Rock Band 2, it will have over 500 songs available by the end of the year.

I've owned a Stratocaster for years and played classical guitar years before that and I couldn't play even half of the songs in either game even if I were being paid to do so.

I know that both games are responsible for a lot of people making the decision to learn to play the drums, guitar or bass, but the reality is the games will always be far more accessible and easy to pick up than the real thing.

Same analogy for Call of Duty or any other realistic FPS. Not even in the same ballpark as the real, military experience, but unquestionably a hell of a lot more fun as well as being easy to quit once you've had your fill.

I do play the real guitar.  And bass actually.  But you know what?  Sometimes, it's fun to play these games with my friends who don't.  I've found a few new songs that I like (and can play on the real guitar now...) simply from playing this game.  Even better?  I was inspired to buy an electronic drum set due to the amount of fun I had playing drums in Rock Band (Wii version).  I won't say I'm any good at them yet, but the awesome thing is that they're fun to play, *just like the game*.

Take yourself a little less seriously, act a little less self righteous and have some fun with these games.  You can do both and be a serious musician, I know I am. :p

As an aside, putting the game into practice mode and playing along with your real instrument is pretty awesome, give it a try some time.

You are still proving yourself a hypocrit. Either way you slice it, you dont want to give harmonix money because they didnt make Rock Band feature complete on the Wii, so now you are buying its competitor which is itself NOT feature complete as compaired to its HD versions while Rock Band 2 is feature complete.

You and all the other Wii owners made your point, Harmonix heard it and made sure that Rock Band 2 would be feature complete.

Now heres the kicker, Activision ALSO heard what you all said, and gave you the middle finger by not making the Wii version feature complete, yet you bought their game. Yet you call me an ass!

See the humor? Thats why I still find it funny. To satisfy you and people with your gripe Harmonix made a better product to address your needs, and you went ahead and bought a game that has the issue you felt was so damning in Rock Band to "get back" at Harmonix.

 That last comment surely will amke him mad xD

From what I've played, Rock Band 2 is a better game in almost every comparable way. World Tour is still fun though.
