Re: Guitar Hero 4 or Rock Band 2: Which is Better?
Remember back in the day when GH2 came out. And how GH2 was the most awesome thing EVER because of how much awesomer it was compared to GH1 which was AWESOME but now GH2 was EVEN MORE AWESOMER?!?!?!1
ahem
Harmonix has promised that the step up from RB1 to RB2 will be comparable to the step up from GH1 to GH2. Considering the fact that RB was able to execute a game with three separate instruments and to be able to put it out with so much innovation and polish, that's a pretty huge statement. Harmonix's rock games have always been great and when they say they have made the game great I believe them.
GH:WT is a toss-up for me. Their music creator is great in theory but how in depth will it be and how much replay will it garner? Will the charts be ridiculously overdone or will they be accurate to the music? GH:A showed that they can be more accurate but which trend will they continue? How will the drums work out? The setup is all dedicated and not nearly as flexible as RB's, which can use all four pads in any way needed. Will the drums fall into the same hole of artificial difficulty as GH3? Will the vocals be executed well?
I'm going to pick up both discs and the RB2 drum kit, and maybe the GH:WT guitar if the touch pad has enough use (that can't be replicated with the solo buttons). But as of now I can see myself playing RB2 much more than GH:WT just like I've played RB1 so much more than GH3.
