Comments on: New Releases for 28 October 2008 http://www.variousandsundry.com/2008/10/28/new-releases-for-28-october-2008/ The random non-photographic musings of Augie De Blieck Jr. Sun, 03 Jul 2011 04:03:25 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Matthew M http://www.variousandsundry.com/2008/10/28/new-releases-for-28-october-2008/comment-page-1/#comment-186036 Matthew M Wed, 29 Oct 2008 19:54:19 +0000 http://www.variousandsundry.com/2008/10/28/new-releases-for-28-october-2008/#comment-186036 I picked up GH: WT and almost immediately it reminded me of why I prefer RB and RB2... it's clunkier, the graphics/animation are more cartoonish, and the lack of comparable DLC makes the product seem half-assed in comparison. On the OTHER hand, the instruments are pretty much superior to RB's standard bundle (although I haven't played the ION drumkit yet, and I'm still not giving up my "Les Paul" from GH3, easily my favorite plastic toy guitar ever :) And when you get around to having to finish Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold", you'll literally want to find the guy and run him over with a buffalo for writing such a ponderously overlong mid-70s mid-tempo number. (And I *LOVE* the Nuge!!) My arms are still sore from the drums on that one. Still, it's a very good game-only buy if you already gots a gee-tarr... as a Party Game with *all* the instruments, I think RB is a better choice.
