Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band

Post Reply New Topic

Which series is better?

If you are going to play guitar alone then guitar hero is definitely better. (guitar hero 3 has the best tracks of any music game in my humble opinion). I prefer the guitar hero drums cause theres 5 notes (including 2 cymbals). But i bought a 300$ drum set now and rockband 2 is fun again (I did have a lot of fun with Rockband 2 and Rockband Beatles playing through campaign with friends).

Which one has a better soundtrack?

Soundtrack is all up to your personal taste...check Wikipedia, they have tracklistings for every game. I'd say Guitar Hero: MetallicA has the best setlist, but obviously, a lot of people will disagree with me

I personally don't really prefer one over the other, though I've been playing a lot more Rock Band lately, since I'm digging the drums.

Though if you're considering the Wii ones, the Rock Band controllers will not work in any of the Guitar Hero games (except for the microphone). And the first Rock Band for Wii is a pretty lousy port.

I don't know if the new GH5 or Van Halen supports Rock Band controllers or not.

Edit: Forgot to mention, Red Octane (Guitar Hero) makes much better controllers. I don't know who makes the Rock Band ones, but they're pretty darn fragile.

Rock Band> Guitar Hero.

I chose Guitar Hero.
