Question of the Day, June 9, 2010

[Idlemessiah]

I still play the first 3 Guitar Hero's. Everything made after those including Rock Band just seem like pointless cash cows. (Actually I think GH 3 was a cash cow too but at least that had good music... ish.)

 

[seditary]

I went with other, shame on The Escapist for leaving out me and my Audiosurf brethren.

Also Project Diva

 

[Midniqht]

Other, definitely Audiosurf. Why was that not in the list?

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Well would you look at that... so far I'm the only one to choose DJ Hero...

 

[dex-dex]

The sweet, smooth art of Karaoke.

you can't go wrong with a good karaoke song!
but not that one

but on topic i have played rock band and guitar hero and i don't like those type of games
but the Beatles rock band was nice to hear my brother play from the next room

 

[MercurySteam]

Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits or Rockband.

Both are epic games.

 

[Lidrial]

Does Elite Beat Agents count?

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

...music game titans like Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

There's a difference?

You'd be surprised.
To people who play somewhat regularly there is quite a distinction.
Maybe I'm just fucking weird, but I can clearly tell RB from GH. The first one has better songs, the second has better interface and better-implemented gameplay elements.
So, yeah, Guitar Hero for me.

 

[psychic psycho]

Does Elite Beat Agents count?

I don't see why it shouldn't, that's what I'd choose.

 

[LordSphinx]

Groov is by far my favorite music game. And it costs only a buck on Xbox Live Indie Games. If you don't know what I'm talking about, wither check it on youtube or play the trial on the 360. I think it's also available on PC. And i never played Audiosurf, but its concept amazes me.

 

[The Infinite]

Audiosurf most definitely it's just such an awesome game.

 

[Frybird]

Rockband 1+2 for me.

New Songs Weekly (!), Cleaner Interface, every part of the experience works and well, it was the first "Full Band" Game.

The newer Guitar Hero Games have nice ideas, but except for the Party Mode in newer ones, none of them worked for me. Good games, but for me, clearly inferior to RB.

 

[oppp7]

WTF ever happened to DDR?

 

[Sennz0r]

Other, definitely Audiosurf. Why was that not in the list?

I was also surprised not to find it in the list. Disappointed

 

[jark.jark]

Bit trip Beat is a great music game. Think pong meets guitar hero, but with a great electro soundtrack.

 

[NLS]

Audiosurf, obviously.

 

[Xaryn Mar]

Must say Guitar hero since it is the only one that I have played

 

[Magnatek]

I'm going to have to go for the other button on this one. I'm not really one to "rock out" like that, and instead would like to shoot things to the music, making my choice Beat Hazard. I used to like Guitar Hero, but I've lost interest. It's not due to any developer thing. It was just me.

I keep hearing about Beat Hazard, and seen that you got a demo off of Steam in IRC yesterday. What's it like?

This link should tell you all you need to know, but... [http://store.steampowered.com/app/49600]

...to sum it up, you choose a music track, and a game similar to most arcade shooters starts up. Only, your ship is highly influenced by that music you picked. As in, if there's no "beat", there's not really any bullets you're shooting. It all depends on your music.

 

[Decateron]

No Elite Beat Agents? WTF.
