Re: Rock Band 2

Since the DLC has been lacking lately I'm considering picking up the GH:Metallica. I just don't really like GH. Anyone picking that up?

Oh yeah, one of my all-time fav bands.

I was almost certainly going to pick it up, but now I'm not so sure. A friend's X box RRoD'd and he let me hold on to his GH:WT for a few weeks. I just don't like this freakin' game, man. I don't know what design choice they made to screw it up, but it simply isn't as fun as Rock Band. Not even close. I'm halfway through it and I think I've only had fun on two songs. It feels like I'm playing for the basic principle of Achievements, unlocking songs, and getting my fill before I give it back.

I'm playing Expert drums, and I turn this off as soon as my leg gets tired. In Rock Band, I get up, walk around, massage that hip muscle, take a break on vocals and then get back to it.

I thought Tool would make it worth it, but it really didn't.

YYZ or Red Barchetta?

I have Wii points right now for one more song. It's between those two. I have YYZ on GH and like it. Red Barchetta is also a good song. I'm leaning toward Red Barchetta because of the vocals. Do the Drums in YYZ make up for not having vocals? I hear that YYZ will never come up in a setlist because of the lack of vocals. That's a bit of a bummer.

I'll probably end up getting both at some point. I just wanted to get one now.

Re: Rock Band 2

I'd go with Red Barchetta, personally.

Agreed, this is probably my favorite Rush song.

That's how I felt playing my buddies GH:WT as well. Overcharting was insane in the game, and just didn't have nearly as much fun as Rock Band. Thank God I didn't waste money on it.

As far as Guitar Hero: Metallica, I would love to get it. But, I know that the charting is going to be ridiculous so I probably won't even bother. I know I'd run through the songs once to say I played them and then it'd just collect dust.

Thanks (and thanks rspencer86). I was leaning that way as well.

Re: Rock Band 2

After having this game for a couple of weeks I can honestly say that I wouldn't touch a Guitar Hero game with a 20 foot pole ever again.

These tracks will be $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) a piece.



You can find these songs in the Xbox Live Marketplace on Tues Feb 17th, and in the Playstation Store on Thurs Feb 19th.

Re: Rock Band 2

Both White Zombie songs are no brainers.

I miss the 5-7 songs a week though

[Blzer]

Re: Rock Band 2

Not a White Zombie fan, and haven't ever heard of Turbonegro.







































But these two names together in the same week is priceless!

Re: Rock Band 2

I'll definitely get the Zombie songs.

Re: Rock Band 2

geez. I wish the Pearl Jam DLC would come sooner. I haven't really liked any of the DLC in a while now. I've bought one or two songs lately but there hasn't been anything for me that I just loved.

Re: Rock Band 2

I'm still tired of "More Human than Human", and I haven't heard it in 10 years.

Black Sunshine is a great track, but I wish they'd stop taking the songs that were in GHIII and pick different ones from these artists. I've already played it enough.

Re: Rock Band 2

Not sure you guys have seen this website at all....but its great for DLC decisions.

Videos of the songs pre and post release.

Searchable. Great site that is always up to date and usually lists future releases as well.

Enjoy
