Of Wii's, Plastic Guitars, World Tour, and Rock Band
Finally! The age has come when I can actually fulfill my frustrations as a band member! When the Guitar Hero first came out, my hands were already itching to hold the plastic guitar and rock it out but I'm totally glad that I patiently waited for the guitar + drum + mic set.
For all you Wii fans who are dying to buy one but cannot decide between World Tour and Rock Band, here are some pointer:
Guitar Showdown: Tie
The rock band and the Guitar hero World tour guitars have their own pros and cons, but overall they're both really good.
Drum Showdown: GHWT
The Rock band drum set has no cymbals. GHWT has. It's an easy contest.
Mic Showdown: Tie
It's a mic. What more could you possibly do with it?
UI: Rock Band (by a teeny bit)
A little easier to navigate, but hey, you can get used to GHWT's UI for sure
Extras - Song Creator: GHWT
The Rock Band doesnt have a song creator. Although the song creator isn't as advanced as we'd hope it to be, it's good enough to help you create your own song. I don't think you can include vocals in it though.
Gameplay: Depends
If you want the challenge of unlocking your own songs, pick GHWT. Otherwise, pick RB.
Reliability: GHWT (by a little)
I've scoured through several articles and it seems most of them think GHWT's hardware is more reliable. It makes sense since they started this plastic instrument biz.
Song List: Tie
Depends really on what you like but personally, both of them offer good songs with mediocre songs, so you can choose either.
Ultimately, I think your decision should come down to hardware reliability. You can buy new songs anyway, learn to get used to the UI, etc. In that light, I decided to buy the Guitar Hero World Tour set. And so far, I'm having loads of fun with it!
Compatibility?
In terms of compatibility, there is a big chance that GHWT Wii guitars will be compatible with Rock Band 2 Wii, so let's all cross our fingers. Unfortunately, the drum sets won't be such an easy deal.
If you really want the compatibility, you should choose GHWT Xbox or PS3 instead. Here's the most updated compatibility chart:
