Guitar Hero: World Tour

[Bullitt]

Hey all,

Merry christmas! I hope you all had a good one and santa brought you all that you desired. For me one of the presents was the thread title game.

Now here's my question: I bought Rock Band when it first came out along with all it's instruments. I was a particular fan of the drums (aren't we all?) and I was wondering if it's worth it to buy the 'Guitar Hero' (with the symobls and what-not) drum kit and sell on my Rock band drum kit.

Does the guitar hero kit offer any significant difference to the rock band kit? And more importantly to myself: has guitar hero stopped sucking duracell/energizers respective cocks and allowed the use of rechargeable packs in their wireless gear?

Cheers

Can't really say about the World Tour thingy, but GH has had a rechargable battery from day one.

My mate got GH3 on Xmas eve for his PS3, it was great. £35 at HMV for one day only, Game were still trying to sell it for £60

It was good fun, going round to his for the evenig tonight, so might have another go. gonna try to get russell on it to, she's a woman so she will love a good ole strum, Haa Haa

The wireless guitar that came with GH3 only takes two AA batteries (xbox360 version by the way). I want them to take the block rechargeable packs.

Are you calling me a liar, i have one

Play.com (UK) : Rechargeable Battery Pack For Guitar Hero Wireless Guitar Controller (For use with PS2 / PS3 / Xbox 360) : Xbox 360 - Free Delivery

It may not be compatible with the GH4 guitar, that i can't comment on, but it deffo works with GH3.

Not at all, see that requires buying an additional piece of kit.

I was hoping they had made new instruments with the same battery dock as the official control pads - meaning i could use my rechargeable battery blocks in them.

Just spent the evening playing GH3, basically i officially fucking ROCK

Yeah Dude.........Awsome












hee hee, it was great, i got 102 continuous chord count at one point, is that good??

Look at it from a marketing point of view, they aint gonna sell rechargable packs if the standard 360 controller battery fits.

The instruments and accessories are way overpriced that's for sure, but theres not a lot we can do about it

Not Really

Playing Thru the fire and flames with a 1000+ note streak, now thats sweet.

I've reached a point in career mode on GH2, GH3 and Rockband on both hard and expert where i just can't progess, i can no longer play "on the fly" and now need to start learning the note sequence

Bugger, i thought i was doing really good, ah well it was only the second time i played it, the first was on christmas eve for about 20 mins.

I shall persevere

Is the guitar supplied with GH3 compatible with World Tour (for the Wii if that matters) ?

 

[KevinUK]

Don't worry Edmond, normal people don't get 1000+ note streaks

 

[Overdriven]

All I know is the guitar supplied with Legends of Rock works with World Tour.. My highest streak on WT/LoR is around 700 atm (Metallica's One 4tw) and a first attempt 5x 100% on Hotel California on WT

Good game, shame the WT controller is bugged with strumming for me.

 

[bob269]

Lol, I bought GH3 and saw expert and cried, then i played it for awhile, and can now knock out half a tune. It's surprising how far you come, like i say i'm know stuck at the stage where i need to spend time learning the sequence, bah

BTW, 1000 note streak is thru the fire and flames on easy or medium

Albeit i concentrated so hard in parts i thought i was gonna pass out

 

[Ch3tan]

Wow.

I have just this week played guitar hero for the first time. I was missing out until now.

Managed to steal my mates world tour that he does not want. Now, I want guitar hero 1-3 as well, will the world tour guitar work with them?

 

[inactionman]

Forget guitar hero, get rock band. Much better DLC and guitar hero has never been the same since Neversoft took over the development, tracks tend to be overcharted.

 

[Ch3tan]

But it is soo much fun, and I am not paying for rockband!

 

[inactionman]

It's like £20 (if you shop around), and you can use the controller from Guitar Hero. I will admit that I currrently prefer their guitar controller, although my WT guitar broke recently and I had to buy a replacement.

 

[Ch3tan]

My cousin has the rock band band kit on 360, i have GH on ps3. Annoying.

I will have a look for rock band on the cheap.

 

[inactionman]

Ah, the PS3 version. Rock band 2 came out today for the ps3, so I'd expect to see quite a few pre-owned copies of rock band 1 becoming available (and cheaper), as you can pay around a fiver and import almost all the tracks into 2. That's the main reason I prefer rock band, it's a platform that you can use your dlc on, rather than a single game (which isn't always the case with guitar hero).

Guitar hero metallica is out soonish (already out in the US), if you are a big metallica fan.

As for your earlier question about the guitar, there's a greatest hits version of guitar hero coming out in june (supposidely) with all the best tracks from 1-3, you'd be best off getting that.

 

[Ch3tan]

Anyone know any cheap places to get the GH band kit or just an extra guitar or drums separately?

 

[Ch3tan]

Aha- it seems the rock band instruments and the WT instruments are compatible with each other. Think I will just trade my ps3 WT for a 360 version, then use the 360 rock band kit my cousin already owns. Good thing I checked, just save myself a lot of moolah.

 

[inactionman]

HMV seem to be doing the best trade in's these days. Guess they must be desperate to start up their 2nd hand section.
