Plus not too mention what will most probably be available come release time in Nov 2008.
Oh yes and I have pre ordered World Tour, but dont tell the kids its for Christmas, so we can rock on like its never been done b4!!!!

[Trayner]

Yeh id say go with guitar hero its a good brand and ive had it since like guitar hero 1 days

[ProphetVX]

Hard to say until world tour comes out... However, guitar hero 3 was far more challenging than rock band in regards to the guitar facet of rock band.

Guitar hero had better songs as well, there are alot of "unknown" bands in rock band, the new rock band has certainly improved in that regard though.

[dijm8]

world tour is a must i am deff goin to get it...also rock band's instruments are very low quailty so steer clear ppl's...y get rock band when rock band 2 is out??? its only taken a year to get the first 1 in aust lol *** where slow

[Troyziee]

ye atm i think its a pretty easy choice to go for world tour, awhole lot easier to decide with 3 Tool songs on their playlist

the rockband 2 playlist is alot better (AC/DC FTW!!!!) but give that 4years b4 its out here lol

[MEANVY]

I'd go guitar hero just for blink :P DAMMIT

[NORTI]

My son has GH-OT on DS, loves it....

Im buying a Wii for xmas..... Kids will end up with GH Im sure... So we will grab WT. Im not convinced on rockband...


or maybe Ill get a plasma & Wii with my 'Plasma bonus' What do you think Minux???


Anyone know what the closest thing is to singstar for the wii???

[Bax]

World tour I'd be saying aswell.

Drum kit alone is meant to be better in GH:WT thanks to the rubberised coating, Rock band is meant to be really loud?

I like the track listing on WT better as well?

[Troyziee]

just bought world tour, and just finished putting it all together, its fkn massive!!! lol
and buy it from JB HIFI if ur planning to, u get a free guitar stand :P

[Juztin]

Yeah mate bought it last night.

GH is the way to go.

All the game stores I go to say they are reducing the cost of Rock Band and other stores and dropping the price of it to just because Guitar Hero owns it haha.

Its funny how they both owned by the same company though ay' =P

[Dayvo]

My son played both last week and said both were good but world tour was the better of the two .

[Bax]

I think I'll be getting world tour this afternoon if my brother put my name on a kit. It'll give me something to play after exams.

[Emackulation]

Rock band will lose epically to GH4, so buy GH4.

[Dave Green VR]

I got GH4 last night, and it kicks ass. Although i think you can only have one career per memory card as its a full band game...if that makes sense. Haven't really looked at rock band though...

[Troyziee]

well guitar hero ****in rocks!!!!!
me and my mate were playing all day yesterdai and night, him on guitar me on drums, its a bloody ripper of a game
some songs ur arms get bloody sore on the drums though... :P

[Bax]

Waiting to hear back from my brother, meant to be getting it at lunch time but he's taking his time dammit

[Troyziee]

can any1 tell me wat the go is with downloading other songs? ive never played guitar hero before this 1, but i remember my mate had number 3 or something, and he had a **** load of downloaded songs.
do u have to pay for them or were can i download some from?

[ProphetVX]

Generally you have to pay for them. On xbox live, they occasionally offer free songs, but any decent songs, for a song pack of 3 or 4 will cost up to $15.

[Bax]

Yeah it's pretty dear to download songs.

Well I got it thursday lunch and I had it finished twice by friday afternoon, that's career mode guitar on medium and career mode me on drums and brother on guitar swapping every few songs.

All I can say though, Medium guitar is really easy compared to GH3, I switched to Hard and got through a few songs quite easily and I sucked at Hard on GH3, I could only do 1 song and that was after practicing it for a while.

Drums on Easy are too boring. Drums on medium are okay. Drums on hard is do-able for me but I don't go that well. I think I'll attempt career for drums on hard starting this weekend coming. Some of those songs on expert though. For people that have never played drums, wow they look intense.

And for anyone having sensitivity issues with the cymbals, go to the website and order your free Midi cable, lets you tune the instruments to be more/less sensitive. In the meantime, go to youtube and search for the sticky tape fix. It works exceptionally well.

[Troyziee]

owwww which website u gota go to to get the free cable, cause my hi-hat symbol is pretty much ****ed already, gota search all over it for a spot that still has a sensor bit

[Bax]

Have you tried the sticky tape fix?

Here's the link, you need the Serial number which is behind the batteries in the drum kit. And as far as I know you don't have to send your cymbal away. And select the Midi cable as your warranty reason.

[Troyziee]

nah i havnt tried tha tape yet, but i figure if i can get a free cable to do it properly i will, ill try the tape later as a temporary fix i think

[Troyziee]

bax, did u submit a claim for one of tha cables? i did and still havnt got it, duno if i was meant to send away that print-off receipt thing or not
