Okay This has probably been done before but I am going to ask, what should I a guitar hero fan get, World tour or Rock band? I prefer a single player experiance but can play with friends and I dont have xbox live so what should Thatotherguy2 get? Rock Band , Rock Band 2, or World tour?

*EDIT*: I have realized that I should add I am a heavy metal fan. Mettalica mostly

Haven't played World Tour, but I recommend the Rock Band series hightly. Didn't like the entirety of the sound track of Rock Band 2 as much as Rock Band, but if you do ever get xbox live, you can download the first games soundtrack, plus other stuff.

RB2 for sure. Best soundtrack of the three band games, plus you can get almost all of RB1's soundtrack for $5. Way more DLC than World Tour, and a better game overall.

Unless you simply must play as Ozzy or Hendrix. I won't judge.

HOLY CRAP I CAN BE HENDRIX? thats an addition to world tour and ozzy Is awesome in my opinion and I have looked at world tours sound track and looks good to me but then again so does the rock band? On a side note exactly how do I get rock band 1's soundtrack on 2?

I've got World Tour but I've heard from people with RB2 that RB2 is better. Plus the hardware on world tour sucks, it's really faulty.

Well if you like having song selection, RB2, Also Guitar Hero WT drum tracks are not as good as rock band 1 or 2's.

It's in the DLC menu.

GH's soundtrack does have two each of great Ozzy and Hendrix songs, and it does have Ted Nugent and a better Metallica song (Trapped Under Ice is my personal favorite, actually), but I still think the combined tracks of both RBs is better.

The two RBs together give you two solid Metallica tracks, a solid grunge group (Nirvana, STP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains), Rush, the Who, awesome Black Sabbath DLC, Iron Maiden, a better Motörhead song (Ace of Spades owns Overkill), AC/DC's best song (GHWT is entirely AC/DC-free), a better Dream Theater song, Judas Priest's "Painkiller" (the most kick-ass song ever written), Megadeth, and a pretty solid amount of modern rock. Besides, who couldn't love a game that lets you download the entire Peace Sells, Moving Pictures, and Screaming for Vengeance albums?

They do share a few songs, but mostly they're over-the-top 80s hits that are kind of a joke (Eye of the Tiger, Livin' on a Prayer, that kinda stuff).

Whichever you choose, you'll enjoy it because both are quite good. While the combined RB list is sorely lacking in Ozzy and Hendrix (my biggest complaint), I firmly believe it is the better of the two. Then again, your taste in music might be completely different. I'd suggest looking up the setlists for the three games--they're all on Wikipedia.

Well I have made my decesion. I am going to get World tour because I do not believe some of you saw the " I dont have Xbox live" statement and I think I am going to need to instruments for guitar hero metallica, Though If I get extra cash down the road I will pick up rock band and there instruments.

I was a GH person and barely played RB. Then RB2 came out and I think it's the best out so far if not only for the setlist. I thought that the custom songs would make up for this, but unless you have severe OCD and several hours to kill you aren't making any good, recognizable songs anytime soon.
