Band Hero vs Rock Band

[DragonD]

I bought a spiffy new ps3 a month or two ago, and was looking into buying my kids rock band for Christmas.

I was looking around, and I see a "rockband 2" (which I assume is better than the first version, RB2 sets are sturdier than RB1 kits and are now comparable to the BH sets), and Band Hero.

I didn't even KNOW there was two different ones (RB and BH)! Ugh!


Band Hero sales for $149. That seems to be the going price at several places. Rock Band 2 is $99.

I did some basic searching, and most people seem to think over all game play of RB2 is better than BH.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Look them up and see which one has songs you like more.

Band hero is geared towards kids... So unless you feel like rocking out to taylor swift in band hero, get rock band.

ya band hero is more like disney's (if they ever attempt this) version of guitar hero. its more popish music, so if you wanna go that direction, then go for it. if you wanna get a game w/ music you actually recognize, then i suggest rock band. i dont forsee band hero to become more popular than rock band.
