 Guitar Band 4 November 19, 2008
J. Adam
Lame. This is coming from someone with the last 5 Guitar Hero games.
They ruined the franchise with trying to copy rock band. It's called GUITAR hero for a reason, not guitar band, GH4 has a lame, sold out soundtrack (beastie boys, michael jackson, wtf??) and if your like me and just have the guitars, be prepared for the same boring repetative riffs like rock band had. and long breaks in some songs where there is long breaks were a drum solo or something would be. Don't expect to get many xbox achievements either unless your playing w/ all the instruments either. So much for being GUITAR hero. Minus one loyal customer.
I also own the original rock band, and although I didn't care for it too much, id much rather get RB2 than the cheap imitation that is GH4.
Adequate gameplay, a nice presentation, and an awesome soundtrack are worth considering. November 6, 2008

I've been playing Rock Band 2 for the past month and trying to write a review without comparing the two is impossible. I will try to keep the comparisons to a minimum and review the Guitar Hero as I experienced it.
Gameplay:
Guitar Hero lets four friends rock out to some of the best songs in rock history using drums, lead, bass, and vocals. All the instruments do an adequate job with only a few glitches...the most annoying being the star power deployment. The guitar is basically the same from the previous games with a touch pad being the main difference. The bass is similar to the guitar with an additional note. The drums have cymbals, two toms, a snare, and a base pedal. Deployment of the star power on the drums can be the most annoying of all. The game does make an attempt to allow the drummer some leeway so streaks can continue...but this is hit and miss...and if one instrument fails, the whole group fails. The soundtrack is very good and if you've played any of the previous titles you'll recognize quite a few songs...which should give you an edge.
The two biggest and most talked about features of the game are the character creator which allows you almost unlimited customization of your characters...if you can dream it you can create it...the only downside is that the graphics aren't as crisp as one might expect on a next gen system. The other feature and the most talked about addition is the music creator. This allows the user to create and share their own songs...there is a lot to navigate here and a lot to learn before you'll produce any quality songs...but it is fun and makes uploading and downloading songs a breeze. So with all that said, how does Guitar Hero World Tour compare with Rock Band 2? It doesn't. GHWT does make an effort at competing with Rock Band 2...but if you can only get one...Rock Band 2 is the one you want.
Too much filler - just like Rock Band November 6, 2008

It looks like the Guitar Hero series is going the way of Rock Band -- instead of trying to find songs that might actually be *fun* to play in a rhythm guitar game, they've crammed it full of big-name hits that are totally boring and monotonous to plod through. Whoever thought 'No Sleep Til Brooklyn' would be a good song to include should probably have their head examined.
A lot of the songs just have you rhythmically strumming on the same note/chord repeatedly (*cough* Eye Of The Tiger *cough*) and if you were even a reasonably skilled Guitar Hero 3 player, you will sleepwalk through most of this title. It does have some Tool and Dream Theater, but out of the 80+ songs that are available, there's maybe 10 of them that I'd actually want to play more than once.
My recommendation? Try Rock Band 2. If you're going to play a bunch of songs that suck, you should at least have more of them to choose from.

Great new game, although seems a little more challenging, should have better song selection & sucks that there are some song on this game that are also on rock band 2!!!!

I have been an avid player of music games since even before the Guitar Hero phenomenon began, and I haven't missed a console entry to the series since it began. I also avidly play its competing series, Rock Band, but don't mistake me for preferring one over the other. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, and the GH series has given my family and I much enjoyment over the past few years. That's why it really pains me to say that this is such a let down.
I will begin by saying that I did only rent it, therefore I used my RB drumset (which worked perfectly well, mind you), limiting me from playing them on the five-pad drum set that comes in the boxset and also the new touch-pad guitar. Despite this, I was able to play the game smoothly and enjoy what it had to offer. That's where the problem is: it doesn't have much that is exciting to offer. Almost a quarter of the songs on the disc were included in Rock Band 2, which I have already completed. Also, a very good number of songs on the disc are sung in other languages. I know this creates a challenge for the vocalist, but it robs the fun. Plus, the live version of a long-requested song for the series, Sweet Home Alabama, is terrible. Lastly, many of the other songs are from artists you know but aren't necessarily their best tracks or songs that don't really fit into the GH mold. Love Removal Machine by The Cult, and About A Girl by Nirvana? Really, they're supposed to be fun? On The Road Again? What was Neversoft thinking (And I actually like that song)? The only fun tracks to me, while I know it's subjective, were Hot For Teacher, What I've Done, Freak On A Leash, Hotel California, Crazy Train, Rebel Yell, The Joker, & Beat It. Granted, many of the tracks in the game, while fun, weren't fresh to me because I had downloaded them as RB DLC. This may be okay for the GH fanbase, because many don't own RB. If you've never played RB, you might find some enjoyment in this game; but otherwise, the flawed singing mechanic forces you to sing like a robot if you want to excel, which makes singing a chore. The new Purple String mechanic in Guitar mode makes challenging segments way too easy, and the drum patterns seem easier than RB. The only design change that I really like is the sixth note for the Bass, achieved by simply strumming without pressing a fret; it can keep you on your toes.
I know each product should be judged on its own merits, but Neversoft chose to follow the trail blazed by Harmonix, so comparisons are valid. This leads to my conclusion: Why does Guitar Hero have to become like Rock Band? I enjoy GH because of its challenging guitar play, but why must they try to out-do RB. They could both co-exist, but now I think they will overglut the market, leading to consumers growing tired of them both. I don't need a living room full of different "fake" instruments; I don't have the room. I will give Neversoft credit for attempting a music creator, but its MIDI-like sounds are frankly annoying and for the long haul will only attract the hardest of the hardcore to try and create the most difficult track ever. To its credit, the framerate never once chugged, but distaste for the character models and the abundance of in-game advertising are just small reasons that contribute to the overall reason that I really hate for this game to go so bad. I believe that with RB, GH, and soon-to-be Rock Revolution (don't get me started!), consumers, nationwide, are going to grow weary of music games within the next two years, but I could be wrong.
In closing, buy if you haven't played any Rock Band. The game is fun if you've never played many of the included songs. Otherwise, I would say avoid or, for the curious like me, give it a rent.
