Rock Band VS. Guitar Hero

Okay, so everyone (or almost everyone) is familiar with guitar hero. For those of you that don't know, it's a video game that simulates a rock star in a concert. Whether or not a person has musical talent or not, if you have good reaction time and hand-eye coordination, you can become a guitar hero pro in no time. All it takes is a little practice.
Recently, Activision came up with a competitor. Their version is called Rock Band. What's difference you ask? Well you prolly coulda guessed from the name. It involves more than just a guitar. It has a microphone, guitar, bass, and what really makes it different, the drum set! This is most likely the most coveted instrument by your average guitar hero player.
There is a big debate over which game is better. "Rock band is for fags.. go with the original," says James Heil.
"When i was gay, I played rock band. But now that I have six wives, I guitar hero it up. Thanks guitar hero!" That was a quote from...you guessed it.. none other than Chase Barrett. Clearly, they are leaning towards Guitar Hero.
I personally agree with them. I like guitar hero better simply because of the song list. I love to play the guitar so i love a song with some sick riffs and licks. So any song with a nice solo is the one for me. There's nothing better than chillin in your room by yourself with guitar hero blarin like your a real rock star.
Some people like to mix it up and go for rock band. They like the full on experience of being in a complete band. They either completely suck at instruments, or they dont have any time to have an actual band. But for people like that, rock band is the game for them. the songs may not be as hard, but they have a whole lot to choose from. They are bound to find some they like in the whole set list.
In summation, Guitar Hero is the better game for people who like a challenging guitar game. Rock Band is for people who like the whole band experience, though not quite as difficult of guitar riffs. Both games are sick, but its up to you to make the choice. Rock on!
