Rock Band 2 won the best music game, and GH: WT wasn't even nominated. Good to know stealing ideas doesn't pay.

That's actually pretty sad on 1UP's part.

Good to know stealing ideas doesn't pay.

I love Rock Band, but I am more excited for GH: WT because of the ability to create my own music...I can't wait to try that feature out.

Honestly, I don't know how great the music creation will work out. It'll probably end up just being something that was done really quickly to try and be squeezed in for publicity. I will definitely be happy to try it out, but it's something that needs time to develop. Harmonix said that if the ever try something like that they will spend a quality amount of time on it.

the games are not even out yet

I don't think I'll be picking up GH:WT, I would rather spend a lot of time on one then dividing my attention between two and RB2 looks much better IMO. With all the DLC I have there will be well over 200 songs day of release for me. I loved the original and basically my only complaints are being fixed.

"If I wanted GH:WT I'd have to spend almost $200 since the drums aren't compatible, I would have much less songs, I would have less songs I like, supporting a developer I don't like as much that's milking the series, etc.

Drums are compatible for 360 users, but it hasn't been announced for any other systems.

As much as I hate to bring up Gamespot....here you go, straight from Red Octane themselves.

Yea, i'll plan on having about 350 songs when rockband 2 comes out. GG guitar hero

I really don't care what 1up says.

The ablity to make custom songs will be awesome.

i dont think the song creator has enough depth it seems more of a drum machine but with guitar tracks and lame gimmicky controllers, if you ask me the wholemode feels tacked and gimmicky too me, but its opnions, also RBs setlist including all the DLC and RB1 songs absolutly DESTROYS(again IMO) guitar hero, guitar hero seems too go for really mainstream popular rock songs while RB2 seems to go for the lesser known(I.E. we got AC/DC but its not back in black, thunderstruck, highway to hell, etc.) but better and more fun on instruemnts/vox songs

For me it is the songs that make these games what they are. I mean, both play pretty well exactly the same, but Rock Band blows the competition out of the water when it comes to the songs. Harmonix will be making money from me this year. Last year I got both, and haven't touched GH3 since Rock Band came out.

That probably has more to do with Activision not being at E3 more than anything else, ya know."

Man, I'd be scared to argue a point with Jeff, especially on this matter. 

Since, you know, he did attend E3.  *shrugs*

um...Activision wasn't a part of E3 this year.  Ever think that's why they weren't nominated?

Guitar Hero: World Tour was not playable for the press at E3, so it couldn't be nominated.

I'm finding it difficult to consider the song creator gimmicky and tacked on, considering it was the first thing they announced about GHWT when it was first discussed.  Also watch the videos of the song creator demonstration; it appears to have a ridiculous amount of depth that will let some really hardcore gamers create some awesome songs.  So long as everything remains free, it could add a level of replay value Rock Band lacks, but that's just my opinion and I don't really buy DLC.

As everyone else said, it's the non-appearance thing.  Even if they were there but weren't nominated, they can have opinions too.  (Before they're outlawed.  :P )

Its just Rock Band covered with Guitar Hero notes. I hate it.

As for the music creation I write music on real instruments. If I started spending time doing that in a game I would just say to myself, "Why don't I just do this for real?" I'm not putting it down, I'm sure many people will enjoy it, it's just not for me.

Lol at the TC caring so much about this.

It's got basically the same gameplay as Rock Band, so I don't see how it's crappy by any means. Maybe not on par with RB, but it's the same concept, so why fight it?

Have you played GH3 on expert? Gameplay goes a long way my friend. GH overcharts heavily."

I´m actually more buzzed about WT...I enjoyed the steeper difficulty in GHIII over Rock Band's, and it will probably still be like that...besides, the RB has an odd feeling to me
