    I like how GH is being milked, but somehow rockband is exempt from that because is HMX. Because Lego Rock Band, Beatles Rock Band, and upcoming Pearl Jam project for Rockband, and weekly dlc is not milking? Is music games, is just new skins, and new tracks for both series, if you like the genre is good.. if you don't like the genre then do not buy it.

    They need to suck it up and make one of these that lets you import your own tunes. Yes they would loose out of dlc sales but they could make it up with dlc packs of new singles. Im sure record labels would pay to get the latest emo-tastic single into these kind of games.

    First, 3 of the 5 songs are (or soon will be) in Rock Band.  Second, why the hell isn't this stuff DLC?  Third, I'd love to meet a 4-man Guitar Hero band that hot.

    I will never buy a "Hero" game again, as giving money to activision is just fueling shit biscuits like this.
    It just staggers how cool Harmonix's Beatles game is compared to anything from the "Hero" series XD

    Huh? The music was already pretty fucking poppy if you ask me.

    Watch next year we will have the ultra-nerfed and highly ironically named "Brütal Hero" after Brütal Legend comes out and resurrects more forgotten music.

    Neversoft Hero?

    Lego Rock Band is just as much a milker as Band Hero.

    I see your point and you're making sense. The key point, however, is that the Rock Band games are stellar titles. The GH games since RB launched have all been clones or crap. The bottom line is people actually want more Rock Band. That's why we don't consider it milking. Additionally, by the end of this year, there will be 15 GH games on the market, not counting the ones Harmonix made. There might be like 5 Rock Bands. 

    EDIT: Also, Traveller's Tales, the team that does all the other Lego games, is in charge of Lego Rock Band. It's Harmonix's brand and they're on board, but TT came up with it and is mostly creating it...from what I heard...on this site...and others...

    HMX set up RB as a platform. I get it and I like the idea. I heve spent a lot of money on DLC for RB/RB2, but what you do not get with a DLC platform in RB is innovation. No new features, no new sets, no new game play. Now with the GH, Activision has been (for the most part) taking steps forward and improving the game. Take a look at the evolution of GH from GH3 to GH:SH, there is a clear line of improvements and additions that have been pretty fun. I personally think GH:M stands out as one of the best fake plastic rock games on the market. It plays great and it looks awesome. And with the new features coming out in GH:5, it stands to be one of the ultimate party games.

    I'm not saying that Activision isn't flooding the market. If they continue down this path of game after game with no import funtion and limited DLC, then we might get into some problems. But if HMX is relying on the name power of the Beatles to carry them another year, then the base RB platform is going to feel very old, very stale and not attract new sales.

    Just to clarify, I do own GH3, GHWT, GH:M, RB/RB2 and soon GH:SH with a lot of DLC across the board.

    I picked up the No Doubt greatest hits pack for Rock Band, and the drum parts are surprisingly interesting. Some of them are downright HARD, too. I'm looking at you, "New". Although, "Excuse Me, Mr." is a bit frenetic, too.
    "
    'Twas more a joke on the increasing difficulty of Guitar Hero games paired with a family-friendly songlist, but really?

    I'd rather get The Beatles: Rock Band, or maybe GH5 with the drum kit if it comes seperately this time.

    I get what you're saying, however, I don't feel like Activision has been innovating with the GH series, really. The big reason there's such a difference between GH3 and GH:SH is they just turned Guitar Hero into a shoddy Rock Band. GH Metallica is certainly the best Activision has done (and probably will ever do) with the franschise, I agree with you there. But I can't fault what Harmonix is doing. RB is a platform and a damn good one. They're not slapping the Beatles name on it to get them through the year. There's a massive demand for a Beatles music game and the best in the business is meeting it. Rock Band 2 was about the songs and they continue to keep up their end of the bargain on that note. You'll get innovation, change, and a mix-up to the formula from HMX for sure. As for right now, the growing stable of "full band" Guitar Hero games still hasn't surpassed the current quality level that Rock Band 2 is at.

    if band hero is all based on pop music i'm pretty sure they might put Katy Perry's songs on that game.

    Guitar Hero already is Band Hero. It's packed full of lame pop songs that will probably be in the full Band Hero game. They could just as well call it 'Guitar Hero: Slightly less satanic' or whatever.

    Guitar Hero 1,2, and 80s: Awesome games, made by Harmonix. Sure 80s was overpriced, but whatever
    Guitar Hero 3: Harmonix is gone, isn't as good, but is still pretty fun to play
    Guitar Hero Aerosmith: Lacks much replay value and songs, but it's only $20 now and is like Guitar Hero 3, so whatever
    Guitar Hero World Tour: Band is nice, but the drums kind of failed, but if you were lucky to get working drums, the game could be entertaining
    Guitar Hero Metallica: The Best Activision has done so far. Take most of the big problems in World Tour and chuck them out the window and replace the songs with Metallica songs, and there you go
    Guitar Hero Smash Hits: Not much different from Metallica besides the look and the songs
    Guitar Hero 5: Looks interesting with it's new features and it looks to be better than World Tour
    DJ Hero: A little skeptical, but the gameplay looks interesting and the songs don't look too bad
    Guitar Hero Van Halen: Looks like Guitar Hero 5 with Van Halen songs, which isn't necessarily a bad thing
    Band Hero:...WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
