i’ve played guitar hero II,III, world tour, and rock band (the original).
rating?
4. rock band
3. GH III
2. GH: WT
1. GH II
first off, rock band is in a league by itself because the combinations on the fret bar just aren’t as challenging as GH. i get really bored really fast when i play rock band by myself.
GH III is pretty good. i think the song selection isn’t really to my liking, so i don’t like it as much as the other two GHs, but i enjoy trying to get through devil went down to georgia 🙂
GH WT is pretty good. decent songs, ability to play with others, nice graphics. yet….i find something lacking. see, here’s the thing. i like medium because i only have to worry about four buttons. i don’t like that orange button. yet, i’ve progressed beyond medium. i need a medium plus or something like that where the fretwork is more difficult, but i still only have the four buttons. i think WT tamed down the difficulty just a bit because of how easy RB is.
GH II — oh GH II if you were only available for the PS3. i would rock you all night long. killer songs, killer fretwork on medium, my fave song ever to play on any guitar-based console game: beast and the harlot. there’s rage against the machine and some primus on there that’s pretty good too….i wish i could buy the GH II songs for any of my other games. as it is, i have to plug in the ps2 and look at the lame-o graphics in order to play (which is okay if i get my avenged sevenfold!).
