GHIII News - Death to Rock Band

[Typhoid]

First, EA has nothing to do with the game other than publishing. So I don't see what that honestly changes about the game itself, other than the fact content will be downloadable, and it will have the "EA, Challenge everything" logo on startup.

The main thing that bugs me about people trying to compare these, is that they're comparing them so basically.


Guitar Hero is about Guitars. (Gee, you think?)
It's nothing more, nothing less. It's DDR for the fingers.

Rock Band, is moreso the same, except not just based on a guitar, and a guitar alone.

Rock Band is not trying to be Guitar Hero. It's not a guitar simulation. It's a band simulation.

If you have Guitar Hero, you can get together with friends, and have gutar battles.

If you play Rock Band, you can get together with friends, and try and be a really crude DDR based band.

Guitar Hero is a good game, yes. It's fun, yes.

But Rock Band has such a good opportunity to be a good game, and people are shooting it down just because there is already a Guitar Hero game, and the two both include a guitar - so one must be ripping the others off, even though Rock band includes drums, and vocals - if you so desire.

Thank god people these days are willing to give something a chance, before discrediting it completely.
