im getting guitar hero world tour, u?

Rock Band 2 can use all of the songs already available as DLC for the first rock band, so I will definately get that. I like Harmonix games better seeing as they are actually made by real musicians. Also, I think the Rock Band drums make more sense to me... the toms all just double as a cymbal. The GH drums seem weird because they are flat out missing a tom and cymbal.

Both. The fact that I can use my RB drums/mic with GH had me sold.

There's no sense in fighting over which is better either.

I think Ill buy GH complete with instruments and that just get the RB2 game disc...

On one hand, GH looks great, with the song creator and all. But I am most definitely buying Rock  band 2 because of all the songs I downloaded. Plus, GH looks a year behind in terms of real gameplay.

Probably Rock Band 2, but I don't really know.

RB2 and maybe GH but I'm still not sure.

Well I'm getting RB2 at launch with a drumkit, I will get World Tour at some point, but I'm not sure if I should pre-order and get on launch or wait until Xmas.

GH:WT. I'll get RB2 if the GH instruments are compatible with it for the Wii..

RB2 with the drum kit only. I'm still not sure as to whether to get any hardware at all for GH:WT, since I'm not really liking the layout for the drums. The main problem I have with GH:WT is (to me) is full of gimmicks. Touch Pad on guitar? No thanks, I don't need it. A back button thats now a bar under the strum bar? No thanks, I was fine with a button. Music Creater? No thanks, please focus on the setlist instead. Open notes on bass? Please no. Not to mention I'm not really fond of the setlist so far, there's almost no metal on it (Ozzy is pretty much the only thing on there, and even that I'm not really thrilled about). I also don't like how there putting multiple songs by one artist in the game, it seems like there just trying to get as much songs in the game to brag with a number. Variety wise the setlist is pretty bad, focussing mostly on Classic Rock and Big Hits (Seriously, I don't need 2 Ozzy and Henrix Songs). And I seriously doubt Neversoft will be able to compete with RB's downloadable content, especially at the pricing it is now for just guitar and bass, imagine how much it'll be for all four parts. On the gameplay side, I don't like how its looking. Rock Band just looks a year ahead of GH in terms of Gameplay.

Overall, RB has me sold, since I have like 150 something songs downloaded for it, and I'm liking there setlist more then GH:WT's.

Rock band all the way. I totally agree with all the points you made Timma

so you can get RB2 just with the drums? thats the only one I wanted.
your post really has me sold on Rockband 2."

I'm getting Rock Band 2, only the game. I'm also getting the whole Guitar Hero: WT instrument set. I'm really impressed as to how they are differentiating themselves from Rock Band. The guitar for GHWT wasn't that impressive until I understood what the touch strip could do, now I'm stoked.

Guitar Hero: World Tour for me.

Buying GH:WT with everything then getting RB2 with just the game

Even though RB2 looks more promising to me, I guess I'll be getting GH:WT becasue the bloody Australian game market hasn't even released the first RB here yet!
After that, I'll get RB2 as the game. (If it ever comes out, that is)

I'm a little torn over which looks the better game but having the instruments and songs from Rock Band 1, I definately plan to be getting Rock Band 2. Damn those gaming developers and their corporate strategy.

I will wait for the views, but by the looks of things I will get GH4 then just get the RB disk

I'll be getting GH:WT if the features turn out as they say there going to, other wise if the gameplay sucks, i may jump the fence to rock band. But that's an extreme scenario. I do plan on checking out RB at some point though, but i'll just get the disc, cause I do really like Red Octanes hardware more.

I'll be getting GHWT as most other wii owners (who also own GH3) will do because RB 2 most probably wont support GH series instruments.

Meh.I hate both equally.

I'm getting Guitar Hero...and if World Tour's drum set works on Rock Band, I might pick that up sometime, too.

After thinking about it, I could get both, but idk. If I can afford it after buying the other games I actually want then sure.

im getting GH:WT with everything and probably just the disc for RB2

I'm getting both games without the instruments. I already have three guitars and the drums didn't really sell me with Rock Band. I mean it's fun and all, but it just gets way too repetetive for me.

They are both way to expensive. I could get them I would rather just spend that money on other things.

I'm getting the band kit for GHWT and I'm just gonna pick up RB2. I think they are both great but I think overall GHWT has the better setlist. I think it will be interesting to see which game ends up selling better and who likes which better. I also can't wait to compare the 13 some odd crossover songs to see which note charts are better.

The instruments work with both games, so I might get both.

I can answer this for you right now. Guitar Hero will sell better. Why? Because it has the Guitar Hero brand behind it, that's why. While I wish Rock Band would sell better, since in my opinion its a better quality product, it just isn't going to happen."

I'm just gunna get both.

I like Rock Band 2 a lot, but the drum set pisses me off. I went through 4 of the rock band 1 drums. And on my 2nd rock band 2 drum set, which misses notes like crazy.

GH:WT.

With this actually having a release date for the UK, i'll definitely be picking this up before Rock Band 2, though, I'll just buy the game on its own and play with my old GHII guitar while waiting for the full Rock Band 2 kit to come out here.

Guitar Hero because Harmonix has screwed Australia by STILL not having Rock Band 1 here yet and it being (somehow) even more expensive than Guitar Hero when it does arrive. I know I like Guitar Hero so for me, it will be that which I get

Neither,i don't get the rythm game hype,just play a real guitar it's alot more rewarding,also the gameplay in rythm games is boring as heck.
