Guitar hero vs rockband?

Question from: Guest

A1:

Rockband. Even though it's Rockband, you can still play a single instrument, you don't need the whole band. The guitar on Rockband compared to Guitar Hero is much more realistic and has two hand positions for guitar and bass.

A2:

I'm going with rockband though that may change as I progress farther along. Not to say I don't like GH or won't likely pick up gh4 when it's released, I seem to just be having a better musical experience with Rockband thus far.

Haven't played through all of Rockbands tunes yet, but I don't think I've yet to run across a cover (if I have it was near perfect). Guitar Hero's use of cover bands always kind of bugged me, especially when they deviate from the real recorded versions. You know a song by heart, have a good musical ear, can play it on a real guitar just like the recorded version, and then play a video game with said song and they've modified some part...annoying.

The guitars...I wish I could blend the two. I much prefer the neck size and button width of the rock band wii stratocaster. However the strum bar feels mushy, which I'm still getting used to. Super fast up/down strumming seems to miss at times without out the familliar GH click to remind me I've missed. My hands are pretty big and on a real guitar/bass I can sometimes be lazy and use my Thumb on the E string. I can do that with the green button on the Wii like my guitars (so with less than "technique perfect" hand positioning I can actually hold down all 5 buttons 1 on each finger and the thumb), not so on GH guitar unless I shift my hand or use one finger to press 2 buttons. I love the full neck width buttons on the wii guitar compared to GH, but I prefer the button press response on the GH guitar.

Music, thus far in playing I think the Rockband guys are better in tune with what's a good fun song to play than Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero seems to favor more and more metal/Rock speed until the end of the game. Speed isn't the only thing that makes a song hard, or good for that matter. Guitar Hero (notice no rock or metal in the name) just seems to be skipping some great and difficult songs all through the series because they aren't rock or metal (I suppose we should feel lucky to even see hints of blues in there). Even with the addition of Devil went Down to Georgia in the GH3 challenge they went for a (admittedly pretty good) rock remake of it instead of dare exposing players to another genre.

Then add in drums and vocals and Rockband sits over the top in my book. Having more fun with vocals than I thought I would.

A3:

Omg such an easy question. Rock Band, dude! It's so cool, b/c it's got a whole set of [plastic] instruments, and not just. (I know I just got shots in my arms so it hurst to drum a little. A minor problem.)

A4:

I can't belive you had to ask that question! Rockband, duh! I could go on forever but he main reason it it has the microphone and the drum set. Guitar Hero can only do guitar and bass (which, by the way, Rockband can also do).

With Wii Rock Band, is it possible to just simply PLAY the instruments without being in a song or practice. I.E bang the drums and hear the sounds without playing along to something. Sort of a "free play" mode or something. Thanks.?

Just bought Rock Band and a guitar. I have two remotes.
Where is the option to play the guitar?
When I try going to solo or anything, it just says I do not have a mic.
There is no place to change from vocals to guitar. I just bought it to play the guitar. HELP! Is the game broken or maybe the guitar does not work. When I plug the remote into the guitar the lights are still on

Is anybody else having difficulty entering the code on the title screen of Wii Rock Band to open the locked songs? If so, has anybody figured it out?

Question from: Guest

A1:

Yes, I am too. The cheat that I've found seems to apply only to the X-box 360

A2:

It's the 360 cheat, not the Wii cheat. Anyone come up with it yet?

A3:

At start screen press:

red yellow blue red red blue blue red yellow blue

to unlock all songs

A4:

The wii cheat needs to be entered on the giutar at the title screen where it says press + ok here it is : red,yellow,blue,red,red,blue,blue,red,yellow,blue

A5:

I am new to this game and have tried to enter that cheat code several times - can someone walk thru it in a little more detail - do you press start with the wiimote and then enter the code? or do you enter the code on that screen BEFORE you hit the start button? - does this work for any type of play - solo, quick play - multi player quick play?

A6:

You must do the cheat on the screen that says
ROCK BAND
PRESS +
with the drums in about 6 seconds -Answer by:dblader

A7:

The r,y,b,r,r,b,b,r,y,b crap doesent work on any screen not even the one that says press + to start

A8:

I couldn't get the code to work either for our Wii. Then the neighbor kid came over and unlocked it on the drums. He did one thing different and so far it works all the time. The sequence is the same as what is reported, but it just adds one additional Blue at the end. So its R,Y,B,R,R,B,B,R,Y,B,B . Try it and see. Maybe the unlock code is different depending when you purchased your RBSE software.

A9:

U have 2 go to options first and turn off auto save then put in the cheat code on the press + page r,y,b,r,r,b,b,r,y,b
