We all knew it was coming, but I think they will do a worse job than Rock Band, not to mention the head start that Harmonix has on them is a considerable advantage.

I' m sure as hell not going to buy two super expensive sets of instruments that aren' t even compatible with eachother. So that counts Guitar Hero(Band Hero?) out.

They just saw the success and now want a slice of the pie.

It' s a right thick move on Activision' s part, that' s for sure.

Instead of making a feeble attempt to keep up with Rock Band' s controllers, they need to keep a steady flow of new songs at competitive prices, to undercut Rock Band.

The lasting appeal of both franchises won' t be in the new hardware, it' s going to be the DLC, and as it stands, Rock Band is owning them with their plan, especially the full-album releases.

“It’s not just about guitars. We’ll include a lot of other instruments, vocals.”

Guitar Hero. Are you fucking serious?

How is Rock Band ' not wanting a slice of Guitar Hero' s pie' in the first place? It has EAs name attached to it, which is enough to put me off, including Vx' s reasons. [:' (]

It' s such a good marketing ploy though to buy licenses to music and sell them with different coloured blobs attached for a profit.

There are even free programs that do it to mp3s - anyone played a game called Audiosurf? Theres a demo on Steam. Suddenly the tracklisting becomes your whole mp3 collection!

Dude, Rock Band is FUN! People can call it useless, or whatever they want, and hate on EA too, but the bottom line is they got it right! For those that can' t appreciate it, oh well! More good times for me, and my friends! And, yes, that it includes my hot lady friends as well!

Heh, now you and your hot friends can sign up to the advert which focuses mainly on you in front of the sofa wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket indoors. Remember 2 girls 2 boys.
