More music

Rock Band and Guitar Hero are taking up my gaming mentality lately. I only have Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on the Wii. Wii owners can’t buy and download the extra songs that X360 and PS3 owners do. The only Guitar Hero Wii game since is the Aerosmith title which at $50 for around 40 songs just wasn’t worth the price. I will buy it if the price falls below $25.

Guitar Hero World Tour Wii with 85 songs for $50 and finally the possibility of extra songs to buy will be a definite day one purchase. Amazon.com has the release date as October 27th. As previously stated, I’m not a singer nor drummer so I’ll pass on the full band kit. Activision has announced they are upping their Guitar Hero related releases for the next fiscal year. Wii gamers are waiting. I’m hopeful.

One of the things that bugged me in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock was that there wasn't enough cash in-game earned in the easy and medium difficulties to unlock all the purchasables. To do it, you had to play the upper difficulties (Hard/Expert). I've yet to successfully complete a Hard song. I believe an alternative would be to earn a smaller amount of cash whenever you play a venue in career mode. That way us simpler gamers could eventually get the cool guitars, characters, and clothes, just not as fast as we could by playing all the difficulties.

I realized why I want Rock Band to release a bundle of the game and guitar only. I’m cheap. Plus there are many gamers who are solitary (single player) for whom the multiplayer experience holds no appeal. It would show that Rock Band wants to tackle that solo aspect of the rhythm game market.

I know, two posts a day apart about music games saying almost the same thing. Yet that’s what’s on my mind.

videogames, guitar hero
