Guitar Hero World Tour

[mmb]

Blah. The Microphone is the reason I boycott Rock Band and am less excited about World Tour. I would've rather just had 4-player guitar support instead. But I'm weird.

The mic was the only thing that got my wife interested in playing video games with me.

Couple time that I was going to spend anyway. :rockin:

Dammit. My wife fights over who gets to play lead guitar. She's better than me.

I've had RockBand for a long while and RockBand 2 pretty much straight out of the gate.

I play drums. Count 4 and repeat. :rockin:

She trips while chewing gum.

Doesn't Guitar Hero world tour have two songs by Hendrix?

I have GH1, 2, and 3. for GH3, I can't get past the encore of group 7.. Damned guitar solo on Cult of personality just destroys me.

I bought GH:WT the day it came out, (game only - because i only want to play the guitar) and I'm ~70% done, playing everything on hard. I absolutely despise that Muse song. I wish I would have gotten the new guitar, though, but because I have a PS2 its not in every store, like it is for the new gen systems, and I was impatient to get it and play.

Yes WT has two I think, plus they are coming out with more later they say. My meaning is that if they are going to call it Guitar Hero, and sell one of them as "legends" then they really should have one edition that is nothing but guitar gods on it.

I hear metallica's new album is going to be released for it soon as download, and YES every track on WT is recorded by the artist. No more fakies!

I'm not a fan at all of the microphone in rock band or WT. Still the drums are a nice addition to the bass and guitar.


I'm renting GH:WT and own rock band 2. Both are good games and it's nice to have more songs to play. That said I prefer the interface of RB 2 so far.

I am also a drummer (in video games only), but I haven't bought new instruments for GH:WT or RB2. I only plan to buy one set of drums. Suggestions?

It depends on your system. For one thing I know that GH:WT drums currently don't work on PS3 Rock Band. Also GH:WT drums have cymbals but currently they have issues and have even been issued a tuning kit. Personally I use RB 1 drums on a ps3 for both games. Seems to work great.

I bought RB2 for PS3 in mid-October (partially explaining my near absence here for 3 weeks [RB1 explains the rest]). The drums in RB2 are definitely better than RB1, and with an optional cymbal kit, they will rock. With the full cymbal kit, the kit will have a snare, 3 toms, hi-hats, crash, splash, and ride cymbals, plus a kick pedal.

According to Harmonix, there is supposed to be full compatibility between the RB2 drums and the RB1 and GHWT games (I haven't tried it to be sure, though).
