Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero III vs. Rock Band

Playing a real instrument is hard, impossibly so for most. That’s why the Rock Gods granted us Guitar Hero III and Rock Band. The question is, which game rocks hardest? If you have a ton of cash and want to save some reading time, getting them both buys you the best of both worlds. For those who can choose only one, there’s a pretty clear winner.

Both games were tested on the Xbox 360 for this review. The main difference between the two consoles is that Rock Band for the PS2 comes with a wireless guitar while the 360 version has a wired version (in fact, all the components in the Rock Band kit are wired).

There is nothing quite like Guitar Hero. It was created by Harmonix, a group of developers in Boston, as the logical progression of their rhythm games, FreQuency and Amplitude. In those titles, you pressed a Playstation controller’s buttons in time with a licensed song while all sorts of fancy stuff happened onscreen. Pretty cool, if you’re into that stuff.
