This game I have decided is a lot better then Guitar Hero 3. its a little easier but im almost done on the guitar and it does get somewhat challenging. most of the few hammerons you got to really fast but they are just a little bit easier then guitar hero2 but not even close to has easy has 3. but really this game has just so much more to offer. really.... way more.

so id reccomend this espically if you want the drums and stuff now or later... i cant wait for those it will make the game even more entertaining.

Definitely looking forward to it, but I'll probably hold off until Christmas. Especially since I have Mass Effect and CoD4 to play.

I've heard Activision made Guitar Hero 3 quite a bit harder than the previous two, which hurts the casual gamers. Rock Band looks easier and more family/casual gamer friendly.

to build on what andy said, it feels like this games difficulty is more in the riffs with chords, which are actually pretty challenging

I'm glad that the hammer-ons are like GHII's.

yea this game definatly gets diffcult ... im on this one song by the Outlaws and its like free bird almost and its still 10 songs away from the end... i dont even know what awaits me. of course i played it at like 2 in the morning but i did fail 3 times in a row so... im not expecting much next time i try either.

I was reading there has been a large failure rate on the guitars with Rock Band. Apparently the down stokes on the paddle don't work after awhile.

Warranty anyone?

Sadly I hardly have time to play games these days..

The fender guitar is complete garbage. The strumbar is awful, gives no feedback and feels like your not even strumming. The rest of the guitar is cheap and it looks laughably fake despite going with a realistic look. Thankfully the game is really fun.

I don't know if i fully agree with that mglundy, though I don't like the guitar either. Feels very fake, and as if it's trying to be real. Honestly I didn't like the GH3 guitar much either when I played with it at E for All, and am quite happy with the GH2 guitar. Though I'll have to play around with it more to see.
