Battle of the Bands

Which one is better? Rock Band or Guitar Hero?

This is a typical question that most people answer with one or the other. In a sense, I played both of these games ever since they came out, but in reality, I don't own any because I'd be hooked on them and have to be pulled away from my game consoles. xD

To be fair, I picked GH2 and RB2, just to see the difference.

      

When I played Guitar Hero 2 on the Play Station 2, it had a sense of rock with some new songs that some I recognized and some I did not, but the experience to play it boggled my mind.  The song selection expanded from "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana and other artists including My Chemical Romance, Iron Maiden and Atreyu. However, with all the graphics that were going on at the same time, I had a little difficulty trying to focus on the notes and hitting them on the right cue.

On the other hand, I played Rock Band 2 on the Xbox and it had a similar quality to Guitar Hero 2 on a more mellow sense. One advantage this game had over the other is that there were other instruments to play such as the bass, drums and vocals. The experience to play this game wasn't as much fun as Guitar Hero 2 because I was introduced to Guitar Hero 2 first. In this game, I did not do as well as I did with guitar because the songs were a little different like "Anyway You Want It" by Journey, "Enter Sandman" by Metallica and other songs by AC/DC, Foo Fighters and Billy Idol. The graphics on this game weren't so intense as Guitar Hero 2 and in this game I was better off with drums.

So which game do I like better?

It's a close call, but with more variety I would have to choose Rock Band 2.

Sorry Guitar Hero 2, I don't wanna sound mean! TT.TT
