It's almost like it was designed specifically to send you completely mental regardless of your musical taste. At the Drive In and Bob Seger, The Mars Volta and Lynyrd Skynyrd, even The Doors and Blink 182 are played in the same gigs.
Want to unlock that System of a Down track in GHWT? You'll have to play through La Bamba first.and that's not the end of the ridiculous track groupings. Unfortunately, both games still make you sit through a "campaign" before you can play all of the tracks that were advertised on the back of the box. Whether this "feature" is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version that we used for testing or not is unknown, but after battling the awkward menu system, sitting there with no music for what feels like minutes (we didn't count) while the track loads sucks - even for the people that are playing.
It's also worth mentioning that GHWT has atrocious load times compared to Rock Band 2. Rock Band 2 has helped them out considerably by showing how difficult the song is for each particular instrument on the song selection menu.Īfter extensive testing in alcohol-fuelled environments, we've found that people can't help but underestimate their impairment level when it comes time to select a difficulty level - Rock Band 2 has solved this with it's "No Fail Mode" which can be selected at any time (without entering a cheat code) - you'll forfeit your high scores, but it means that the song will play through regardless of how everyone is doing, and the rest of the party will be saved from hearing the first half of a song three or four times in a row. Thankfully, GHWT allows you to change the difficulty of a particular band member from the pause menu, but you will have to restart from the beginning.Ī couple of our semi-regular band members find themselves bored by Easy mode, but find the Medium mode easy enough on some songs but frustratingly difficult on others. Good in theory, but in practice, every person we've set up on this difficulty finds it incredibly condescending, and wants to change to Easy mode straight away. GHWT features a Beginner mode, which only requires strumming in time, without holding any of the fret buttons. Having said all this, if you're after a challenging yet realistic experience, we can recommend playing Expert-level bass guitar on either game - with a hat tip to Guitar Hero World Tour for it's "open" notes, indicated by a purple bar rather than a fret button.
Unfortunately, with archives of backwards-compatible downloadable content that would need a new note chart created, the likelihood of either franchise going ahead with this logistical nightmare is absolutely zip. It's a shame that neither game caters to people that aren't challenged by Hard mode, but want a more realistic experience instead of the unnecessarily difficult Expert mode. One section where you're simply moving an octave chord up the neck on a real guitar requires you to change your fingering multiple times on the plastic one. In both games, Everlong is much harder to play on Expert than it is on a real guitar. To test this, I chose the only song that is available in both games that I could play on a real guitar, Foo Fighters' Everlong. While the first Rock Band seemed to depart from the "let's make this as hard as we can" mentality of Guitar Hero, it seems that the practice-all-day music game addicts have got the better of Harmonix and caused a backtrack. We've spent (far too much) time with both games to bring you this in-depth comparison.

DecemAfter initially shunning the idea of the full band game, Activision caved, and decided to bring the Guitar Hero franchise up to par with the release of Guitar Hero World Tour - just in time to compete with MTV's sequel to Rock Band, the game that brought music video games to the next level last November.
