Re: Harmonix's Rock Band now with Impressions
Playing on Expert, GHIII was hard to the point of being not fun, particularly on the upper tiers of songs. Rock Band is a challenge on Expert, but (unless you're playing "Green Grass and High Tides") is still very doable and not as frustratingly impossible as some songs on GH3.Comment

Rock Band, while easier, gets its fun from the fact that I'm not failing 24/7 like I do in Guitar Hero. Yeah, I'm not that good, but at least in Rock Band I can complete songs, where on Guitar Hero I just get frustrated to the point of giving up.Comment

Re: Harmonix's Rock Band now with Impressions
So what would people say is their favorite instrument, and which is the hardest?
So far the hardest is the drums, for me. I can't sing, and I don't count singing as an instrument, but it's pretty hard too.
My favorite is also the drums. I can play a handful of songs on expert, and it's new and fresh and way more fun than playing the guitar to me.
I still go back to guitar hero II from time to time, because I think it's harder than GH III, which seems really, really easy by comparison. As far as favorite, it's no comparison, because the guitar is just a video game, and the drums are a training tool that teaches you to play real drums.
I agree that overall, Rock Band is more fun, because even easy songs are fun to play in multiplayer modes.Comment

Re: Harmonix's Rock Band now with Impressions
My problem with GHIII is atmosphere. GHIII is so boring. The guitar feels like fisher price toy. The sound in the game other than the music leaves much to be desired. I like some the guitar battle aspect of the game but Rock Band i think does a better job of bringing you into the role of playing an instrument. Of course it is not the real thing. But i think it does a much better job in this regard.The Bright One is my Point of Reference, It's my Guide And it always becomes The Center of my Chart. I Always name it Dionne. It's my Constant.Comment

The online multiplayer, both versus and coop in Rock Band is much more successful too.Comment

Re: Harmonix's Rock Band now with Impressions
For you Expert (or Hard) drummers out there: What's the best way to play the bass pedal? I was actually doing decent on Gimme Shelter (on Expert) but I just couldn't deal with the pain in my leg, and had to stop halfway through the song. Should the movement be in your ankle, or should you lift your whole leg and sort of stomp? I keep the pedal pushed down some so I don't have to press it as far, but I still end up cramping some.
Maybe my leg will just have to get used to it.Comment

During faster bass pedal runs, you're bouncing your leg in a very similar way to the bounce of the sticks off of the skins of the drums. It's all about rhythm, bounce, momentum, and coordination. It's never about stomping or banging. That's the fast track to fatigue and cramping. Wrists, calves, angles and fingers as opposed to arms and legs.Comment
