Im assuming that you have a choice of which instrument you buy for use with rock band, or am I just being ignorant?

IIJoshIII · 04-11-2007, 02:42 PM

Your guess is as good as mine, I thought it came with all three.

IIJoshIII · 04-11-2007, 03:30 PM

I've decided to get GHIII just so I can be like this guy.

MY understanding is initially it will be all or nothing with Rock Band, you are committed to buying the whole kit and kaboodle for an outrageous sum. Sometime in Q1 2008 you'll able to buy individual instruments.

Initially you can either just buy the Rock Band game (and be stuck just playing guitar with a controller or guitar hero controller) or the special edition which comes with Guitar, Drum Kit, Mic and the game itself. Actually the special edition is $169USD which i dont think is bad at all for all those peripherals. Then in early 2008 they will start to sell the instruments individually.

The real fun will be with all instruments though and a bunch of buddies over so the special edition is the one to get.

...Get a real instrument instead, damn.

Spending $170 on plastic guitars... is kinda ***.

05-11-2007, 08:59 AM

Well yeah I've been playing guitar since the age of 14. But rock band interests me as something quite fun to play with mates when youve had about 20 cans of bow.

Don_Rico · 05-11-2007, 01:00 PM

Good point.

nufan · 05-11-2007, 08:06 PM

Don its kind of ironic that you started this thread about gh3 then say that spending the money on plastic guitars is ***. Like wrutless said these are great for having a bunch of mates over and having a blast. The whole thing about "get a real instrument" is old and to be honest pretty weak. Its like saying go play laser tag, stop playing halo, or go buy a real car, why play car games.

Glock 19 · 05-11-2007, 08:23 PM

Works for me as I have no musical talent what so ever, and no ambition to learn a instrument. So I will stick to plastic a guitar lol.

Didn't start a Rock Band thread, and imo $170 is a bit too much. For me, anyway.

Real Gryff · 06-11-2007, 01:20 PM

I'll stick with plastic guitars. I took lessons back in 9th grade and alls I got was frustration, guitars aren't very relaxing for people with poor musical talent.

As for GH3...good stuff

FLANKER 5 · 06-11-2007, 08:28 PM

I also used to take Guitar lessons, when I realized how bad i was and frustrating it was, i tried guitar hero and LOVED it kick*** songs, and i was semi-good at it, so i enjoyed it

GHIII's 360 guitar is way better than the GHII one. It's wireless but the buttons and strum bar feel way better than the last one. It is damn near the same exact game as the 2nd one so you can take that either way. At least it will last longer via XBL this go around. They already put out 2 downloadable song packs for Velvet Revolver and Foo Fighters, so I hope they keep them coming. I like that those 2 packs have 3 songs from the same artist so if you like the band you won't have to settle for a song or 2 you didn't like in the 3 song pack. Hopefully they step up the bar next time or we'll end up with the Madden/Tony Hawk syndrome. If you like GH you won't regret buying it. Rawk On.

So, anyone have any feedback to share on Rock Band in comparison to GH3. Besides the obvious drums/mic option that comes along with Rock Band, and the different price tags. Just pure gameplay, how do they compare?

I just played GH3 on my buddies Wii last weekend and it was pretty damn fun after a couple drinks. Was thinking about getting it, but with Rock Band coming out in a couple weeks I am wondering if I should wait.

Narfe · 15-11-2007, 05:35 PM

Yeah, the information that Rockband comes with all the instruments is right :].
Personally I play guitar, been playing for about 4 years, but GH is so different from actual guitar and its a fun game. Its really not fair to compare each one since they are really different in so many aspects.
I want to get Rockband for the drums too! the singing will be interested.. I wonder what they will do for it?.. like how is it going to pick up right and wrong from Easy to Expert

IIJoshIII · 15-11-2007, 05:53 PM

I watched a video on YouTube and it picks up tones and pitches and such. So if you have to hit a line on the top, you have to have a higher pitch and it can go from high to low e.t.c. Pretty neat.
