Last Post About Rock Band I Swear Rock Band versus Guitar Hero III. Very interesting:

So what did Activision/Red Octane decide to do with Guitar Hero III? They decided to "game up" the game. In that single decision, they told the serious player that they fundamentally had no understanding of what the game was really about.

Boss battles? With power-ups? The horror....

So what does Harmonix do with Rock Band? Is there any goofy bullshit, any power-ups, and "battles?"

No. Just music stuff. A ton of career modes, a drum kit controller, vocals. Music, music, music, music, music, music.

Music.

My wife and co-workers are sick to death of me nattering on about all things Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Never apologize!

i think rock band is great but i still believe that it would be better just to buy an electric drum kiit and play in a real band.
but i guess for the shy type this will be perfect for them.
it would be cool if they brought out something like "jazz band" or "blues band" would really get some great songs and get more people to but the game.
