Guitar Hero and Rock Band have a HUGE non-gamer following. When we have friends over, people always want to "try" Guitar Hero. They all suck. Really, really bad. Rock Band looks like it should be much more fun to pick up and play.

I want Rock Band, and it will make it nice to put it on easy for friends, but I like to be challenge. However, I can't beat half the songs on GH2 on Hard, so I guess I get to play Rock Band on Expert.

Hey RB looks so easy that maybe my 5 year old can get in on the action.

The timing and feel of Guitar Hero III is just off. I did not enjoy playing that game.

I don't buy that GHIII is easier than GHII. I blew through most of GHIII songs on hard rather easily (until the last setlist or so, when it gets brutal), but I had already five starred GHII hard. Keep in mind that your GH skills were much greater when you first touched GHIII than they were when you first picked up GHII.

As far as the Rock Band difficulty, I wasn't planning on picking it up anyway, at least not right away, but that's a pretty big disadvantage in my mind. The challenge is probably a better fit for most of the mainstream, but when you have a portion of Guitar Hero gamers who have played (and been encouraged to play) crazy difficult songs, you should allow them to be able to raise the bar a notch.

Um....wtf, why Hard difficulty and not Expert?

I think harmonix kinda sold out, with how easy rock band is. I mean i hate it when u buy a game and its so easy that u 5 star all the songs in like a week. It's not only that its easier but the note progression in Rock Band is soooo boring. like one note chords wtf.

I KNEW that GHIII seemed harder. I thought I was just really rusty...

Through fire and flames is not that hard of a song to complete. the beginning is really the only hard part, but i mastered the tap for that within a few days of practice. So really its not much of a challenge, and even if i do fail i fail at the beginning so who cares. Jordan with that solo is difficult even with all the practice ive put into the song. your multiplier may be better with jordan but thats when you actually beat the song.

But forget through fire and flames The downloaded complete song of devil went down to Georgia is harder then both songs no debate.

I would like to know if you can use GhIII guitar with Rock band and vice a versa. I'm trying to decide which on to buy GHIII bundle package or RB bundle package, but if I buy both I want them to work for each other. I'm just a mom!!!

i have both gh3 and rock band and bottom line is that rock band is way more fun.if all u want to do is play the guitar why even bother with rockband.besides how many people u think can beat gh on expert not as many as who cant.i play rockband on hard and think it is a decent challenge,expert is still pretty tricky.but the drums r awsome and if u want a challenge try them on expert,good luck.all the things i wish were on gh rockband has such as creating ur own rocker and so on.rb has more than enough things to do solo,and that is also the game u will be playing when friends r over.rock on..........

i have 2 say that guitar her 2 nd 3 r fun,but dont u think that its gettin kinda outta hand with the amount of notes.......i mean look at throught the fir and flames...theres a reason the achievement is called"inhuman" because if u can beat that then ur retarded.....i love those games...but i have 2 agree with the other comments, i mean play the game nd beat it with the controller on hard...R U NUTS!!!...like i dont like it 2 b extreamly easy...but i cant play it bc theres 2 many notes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i think anyone on here would agree that its not as fun as guitar hero 2 bc in guitar hero 2 at least u could play it and make it sond good insted of miss every second note....i think myself that they ruined the game horribly!!!:@:@
