The drums look good, but I'll be fucked if I'm buying a second drumset. I also have 50/50 on RB2 supporting an add-on high hat. Create-a-song looks good. The rest of the game looks like a Rock Band copy merged with the horrific GH aesthetic.

Basically, this looks like a game designed to compete with Rock Band - I have no doubt that Rock Band 2 is going to blow it out of the fucking water.

Some aspects of it are cool, but this is gonna be the first main Guitar Hero I will pass on (I even bought 2 on both PS2 and 360).  I already have enough plastic instruments in my room already and I still haven't had my fill with Rock Band just yet, so that can last me until Rock Band 2, which hopefully isn't out for another year or two.

The best part about this game is the defense squad (actually, maybe just soldier) you see around.

yeah, I mean - it's hard to hate-on, but it's also impossible to get excited. it's entirely obvious who the leader in the music game space is, now

shit note charts

Nobody will actually use this feature.  It will be too much of a pain in the ass, except for the hardcore nerdlingers.  This sort of thing is best suited to the PC.

[pilonv1]

people are only going to create rock band songs that are too awesome for guitar hero to use

[originalz]

At least the character models look better than GH3.

Eh, if they can step up their game and produce a game that rivals RB then I'm all for it, all this competition in the music game industry just makes the games better.

Aesthetics matter even in music games.  Rock Band >>> GH4 >>> shit >>> GH3 >>> Rock Revolution.  Don't forget that there is also a create a character now.

I could see my friend doing this. He always said there should be a mode like this.
