I'm thinking of plunking down some money. Do any of you gamers out there have an opinion on Rock band 2 VS Guitar Hero World Tour for the Wii
( Read more... )
I'm not sure what downloadable content is like for the Wii. If it's anything like the XBOX360, I'd recommend Rock Band 2 in a heartbeat.
Honestly I think that when Activision snagged Guitar Hero from Harmonix, they smeared GH3 with an unnecessary coat of macho paint, and the game became more about who was the better shredder than co-op play.
I also submit that Activision does not know music like the RB guys do. GH3 has a crazy difficulty spike where some songs seem waaay harder than they actually sound (cough-cough-SLIPKNOT-cough-cough).
But that's just my opinion. From your email, it sounds like you're already off buying one game or the other. I'd look forward to trying out GHWT, if only to see the Tool songs that replicate their creepy-time videos.
Maybe this will help. A few months ago I played Wii Bowling with Tina and Blake, when he was visiting. As we all know, enough people have made "Mii's" to rival my quantity of AMPUTHEATRE characters, both for friends and for darkly humorous purposes. So in the Nintendo bowling alley, who should my avatar be sitting next to...? That's right. A Mii of Adolf Hitler. For the whole game.
I'm not saying Hitler's macho, but it did involve a lot of caffeinated screaming a la Trogdor. When my turn came up, I mimicked Der Fuehrer giving bowling advice to the Gil-Monster: "GOOZE-step UP to der FAULT LEIN, undt zen BLITZKRIEG!!!!"
I got a strike. And Blake said "Gil, there's a special, SPECIAL place reserved for you, my friend..." :P

So it will be GHWT tomorrow, but I'll probably grab Rock Band 2 game at some point.
From what I read people liked the hardware better in GHWT, but people liked Rock Band 2 software better. So hopefully it'll work out for me.
Anyways we'll be drunk so hopefully we won't care too much. ;)-
