Rockband and Guitar Hero

[Brennan]

To me they are similar enough to have one thread about them, however if those in charge want separate threads, feel free to edit this and make another

Who has it and for what console?

I have Guitar Hero 1-3 for PS2. LOVE it. I've beaten all but 3 on hard.

I plan on getting a Wii within the next couple of months and once Rock Band comes out for it, I will get it for that. They plan on making it for the Wii but the release date has not been announced yet. I played it on XBox360 on New Years. It was so much fun. The drums are my fave.

So any rock stars here?

I have both for xbox360... I rock it out on the guitar... but... only on medium - lol. I just can't manage to get that fifth key worked in for some reason. It's a mental block I think.
Rock band, i've only played it on Christmas day so far and i totally sucked at the drums, but it was a blast. I need to quit working one of these days and set aside some time to play again.

You just gotta push. I never thought I would be able to play on hard and now I've played some crap on expert. Try playing against someone who is better. The only way to get over the mental block is to say "Screw it" and try. If you fail you fail but you can always practice in the practice mode.

While I have never played it enough, I really loved what i've seen and heard from the Guitar Hero series.

For once we have an extremely popular gaming franchise which is actually worth even half of it's attached hype.

While I do not own any of the games yet, I plan to eventually.

Guitar ... Hero ... So ... Addictive..!
I don't own the game myself, but a few friends of mine have it.
I seriously love it, it's the most fun game I've played in a long time.

I've been thinking about buying it, but I don't have any kind of game system.
And I'm afraid if I did own it, I would never leave the house...

That's okay, we support that... I see nothing wrong with staying inside all day playing video games, watching movies and posting in flixray. Seems like a perfectly healthy balanced diet to me!
