My views tend to be to "extreme" for the appreciation of members of these message boards, but I'll go ahead.

I respect Rock Band and Guitar Hero for what they are: Mindless toys with absolutely no depth.

I can agree that both are a fun thing to get together with friends and play, but I am increasingly disgusted by the way it is portrayed to represent the medium of games.

In one of my classes, we were discussing violence in media. Someone mentioned video games and I made the statement that "Every game has to have some form of conflict. How else could there be interactivity?"

A girl in the class room responded with "No, guitar hero doesn't have any conflict"

I simply glared at her and said "Guitar Hero is NOT a game"

The same goes for Rockband, as they are both the same thing. I'm not saying their bad, but I'm tired of people praising them so much, and I'm tired of people using them as a way to define gaming.

<end rant>

you asked for it...

I suppose you wouldn't know this if you havn't played it, but there is conflict in Guitar Hero. Boss battles (or w/e the heck they're called) anyone?

for star power on drums 'm pretty sure you have to hit the "select" button......well its called "back" on 360

you hit both symbols on mine

and renegade is team i think

plus that rant was rather shit

Havent played rockband 2 just GH WT so i wouldnt know where to compare.
but I like GH WT quite a bit more than Rockband 1 (of course you have to add in the fact that its a newer game), but i like what theyve done with it
EX: the purple bars in the baseline make it harder which can by all means make it funner
The new make your own music feature, which yes you have to work with it a bit to understand it cause the tutorial kinda sux on explaining it.
The song choices are pretty good but some are excessively long and you fail at 98% of a 8 minute song and u chuck your guitar at the wall breaking it, pulling xbox off its spot, breaking the disc and xbox in the process (cousin did this was funnier than hell and he has no worrenty on it

overall from what ive heard about Rockband 2 id have to say i like GH WT better
