Rock Band vs. GH

I really am not sure what the main differences are, here...
(Between the upcoming band music games.)
I lean towards Rock Band 2 for three reasons:
1- limited edition drumkit.
2- I always liked the gameplay better.
3- FUCKING PAINKILLER. I <3 Judas Priest. And several other songs, but you get the point.

I think that the "song creator" on GH is going to flunk... et cetera, et cetera. Any other music game opinions?

I don't know. It's tough... D: I WANT BOTH SO BADLY.

Hay!

It'sh got da Linkin Pahrk!

*cutsh wrisht*

Ugh. Stupid, stupid nu metal and scene bands... D:<

TLDR.

Both games rock.

((HA HA. YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE.))

Woah, wait, Master of Puppets?
o.0!

Come out and Play?

...

Hungry Like the Wolf?

...

Eye of the Tiger?

Rock Band 2, for sure, for me.

I played GH 2 a while back, but I never really developed an interest. I may play RB 2 if one of my friends buy it, but I doubt it. We tend to just screw around with real instruments...

Panic Attack FTW.
Same for Colony of Birchmen

Though GH4 has Tool...could have had better choices for that, though (want Forty-Six and Two). And more Dream Theater...oh, speaking of, all three of those bands are progressive, not just DT...

Needs less nu metal, though.
Kill the Linkin Park

This is...a tough choice

I KNOW, RIGHT?
And yeah, I knew Rush and Floyd were prog too.

Music games have sucked since America stopped importing Bemani.
