The Guitar Hero Rockband War

When you think of music games you immediately think guitar hero or rock band. Then you think which one is better? If i were to choose which one should i get? The war still wages on with Rock Band and Guitar hero.

But you may think i am here to answer this question of questions. But the bottom line is I’m not. My opinion with this whole thing is yes both games are similar and i understand that but in most respects they are 2 different games.

So let me break it down. The main difference i am talking here is staring people right in the face. rock BAND and GUITAR hero. Harmonmix the great grandaddy of this type of game (unless you wanna mention koie and the dance matting but that’s a different story) made the Guitar hero game with the guitar peripheral and all about guitar. It is a great game and executes that guitar simulation/i want to be a rock god on a little plastic guitar thing very well. And that was what the game was built for, then good old harmonix thought hey why not take this idea to the next level so lets do all the band peripherals. So to my mind they did the right thing with that and went off to make a new game. Leaving Guitar hero with the guitar to good old neversoft. Never soft now with the guitar hero franchise made a great game with guitar hero 3 legends of rock. Harmonix then made rockband which used all the band kit.

Where i am now going with this is that Rock band was made to be played with a band. Meaning that the game in not centered around one instrument where as guitar hero, now with even the new band peripherals is still very much centered around the guitar. The guitar boss battles are still there and even with the bass guitar play has been boosted. Meaning that GH are still the game to get for plastic guitaring where as rock band as it was built for is general plastic banding.

The bottom line here really is. If the next time you ask yourself which one is better. Think they are both 2 different games that focus on 2 different things even though GH now has the full band it still has is priorities with the guitar.
