Time for a good ol' fashioned, Battle of the Bands! Which game do you prefer? Guitar Hero, or Rock Band? Why?

I like playing on a controller, so GH

But I like the breakdown so far. It shows that GH is for underage girls... :D

I thought Guitar Hero removed controller support after GH3

Rock Band for the DLC selection.

Rock Band. I couldn't bring myself to get into Guitar Hero.

Rock Band became the superior series for me once Guitar Hero started introducing other instruments to keep up with Rock Band. Guitar Hero World Tour did not feel as polished as Rock Band 2. The best thing about Rock Band is the DLC selection and the fact that songs transferred over to future games. Guitar Hero tried to do that, but not very successfully.

Also, the note charts were better in Rock Band. They may have been less complicated than those in Guitar Hero games, but Guitar Hero inflated its difficulty by adding extra notes into songs instead of tightening the window in which notes could be hit.

I started with Guitar Hero but ended up enjoying Rock Band more.

Rock Band is the better game. Guitar Hero has the better stock track list.

I am probably going to get an iteration of Rock Band to learn guitar.

Neither.

They are both boring games compared to Rocksmith
