Both are crap. Guitar Hero offends me slightly less as you don't need to get a second mortgage on your house in order to buy all the required equipment.
The whole 'do what we say as we say it' genre goes against everything that makes video games fun.
" Guitar Hero, because it was first, and because drums are for jabronies. "
Well they might have been first, but the people who made and invented the the Guitar Hero games are all working on Rock Band, so that's where any and all innovation in the genre is at.
Also Guitar Hero can't seem to get the downloadable content right. I can have a rock band game with like two thousand songs, if I invested the money, imported all my other RB games, and downloaded a lot of stuff. Guitar Hero doesn't offer that.
I've only played the first Rock Band, but I thought it was amazing during the time I spent with it. Guitar Hero's representation of rock music disgusts me, and a lot of the note charts are just plain stupid for some songs.
I wish this was something I was into, but rhythm games are so unappealing to me. Partially because most of the songs suck and partially because . . . well, I just don't find any fun in pressing the blue button to the block rockin' beat. If I did play one, I guess I'd probably prefer Rock Band since you have more input variety, but that's just a guess, since I've never played either one.
