jinp6301 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Band Hero - it has Taylor Swift songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Both are good so long as they are played in combination with other humans in the same room and a crate of good beer. IME, differences whatever they are between them, don't matter much in such application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Answer=RB: I think GH is only for 2 players max whereas 4 people can make a fool of themselves while playing RB. Of course, as already stated, one should have lots friends around of alcohol consumed while playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Guitar hero does the whole band thing too now. Matt should chip in on this topic (if he made it back from the casino Saturday night). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Ok, thanks for the clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penger Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 FWIW, my friends and I thought RB1 songs were better than RB2 songs. Haven't had a chance with the newer band based GH's to have an opinion there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm thinking about getting the Beatles version for my mom. I think she would love the idea of it, I'm just not sure she would actually be able to play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm not sure if it matters for you mom, but I'd look at the list of songs in the game before buying the Beatles Rock Band for her. There are many songs I expected to be in the game that are missing from it. Released and planned DLC (Abbey Road and SPLHCB, with Rubber Soul coming next) fills some of the missing songs, but they add up quickly. List of songs in The Beatles: Rock Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadneddz Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 IME from having owned and played both of the earlier versions of both, Guitar hero I/II/III and the first Rockband(have no idea what "Band Hero" is or what Guitar Hero they are on now, five or six?) Rock Band was a more casual/social game, while Guitar Hero was all about beating "Through the Fire and Flames" on Expert and playing until your wrist was sore and your fingers felt like they were going to fall off. While both have songs that can be a technical challenge, RB would most likely suit the casual gamer, assuming your mom is not a hardcore gamer who could shred through all the songs on GH with a blindfold on.

penger Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Oh yeah, I agree with your comments regarding playability. Difficulty wise, Medium on GH I/II/III was harder than Medium on RB1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 RE RB Beatles: Your mom could always just do the singing part, that is the easiest instrument. The drums can be quite difficult depending on the person and level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 RE RB Beatles: Your mom could always just do the singing part, that is the easiest instrument. The drums can be quite difficult depending on the person and level. I've never played Rock Band but from past experience singing is definitely not the easiest instrument. A surprising number of people I know are pretty much tone deaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I wish your mom could sing. She's awful. In other news, it appears that the Rock Band Wii Bundle is out of stock everywhere (of course). Is this the kind of thing that ebay is useful for, or is it scam-o-rama?

Waldref Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I dunno. I kinda like the feel of GH better, though I stopped playing music games years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I dunno. I kinda like the feel of GH better, though I stopped playing music games years ago. Welcome to Head-Case. Some friendly advice given that our welcome PM is absent with new forum software. Don't post shotgun fashion on anything that catches your eye here and don't ever unearth threads after years of inactivity -- especially dead tangential gaming threads and the like -- and then post your random musings on the subject. Once you get a sense of this place you can dive in a bit more but you are going to get pounded in the back of the head with a shovel if you continue this pattern.
