(for some reason "next to you" on hard was almost impossible for me.) I kind of feel like the higher-tier expert songs on drums are beyond my ken but maybe that new drum trainer will straighten me out. <BR/><BR/>@noreight: It's crazy you bring that up, but yeah, I was noticing yesterday when I was playing rock band how much easier it is to tell time when the drummer is doing well. Which is really cool because that is how a real band is anyway. Also, I'm with on the first RB controller; I didn't think it was too bad myself (the points you mention are good ones on this) but I did understand why people didn't like the feel of the strum bar, which can be a deal breaker.Iroquois Pliskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324582950813408440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-78065496927210793182008-10-25T07:21:00.000-07:002008-10-25T07:21:00.000-07:00Don't the drums help you with your inner time-keep...Don't the drums help you with your inner time-keeping? I find that I play a lot better when the drummer is playing smoothly, and I get completely thrown off when he's struggling with the rhythm. I love the effect, it's like you're playing in a real band.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I don't understand why people hated the RB1 guitar so much. It took some time getting used used to it, I admit, but it played a lot better than the previous GH ones. The buttons are closer together, making the scales and nasty chords easier to play, and the wammy bar is actually long enough to be used comfortably.noreignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489650838479209944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-46656475380714248322008-10-24T11:56:00.000-07:002008-10-24T11:56:00.000-07:00What?!?!

The jump in difficulty is pretty substantial (playing songs that are recorded using a double bass pedal with only a single foot is more than a little tiring).Savid Daundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069179835226679290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-91467257660022428182008-10-24T06:09:00.000-07:002008-10-24T06:09:00.000-07:00My pockets are so shallow that I've not yet been a...My pockets are so shallow that I've not yet been able to give Rock Band a go let alone Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero: World Tour. It's a shame too because we're just moving house and there's nothing I'd love to do more before leaving than play Rock Band at obscene decibel levels and shout "Fuck you, downstairs neighbours!" ad nauseam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-29035256717105027362008-10-23T15:10:00.000-07:002008-10-23T15:10:00.000-07:00@dickie: Man, I would love to do some comparison b...@dickie: Man, I would love to do some comparison but I don't have the kind of deep pockets for that project. (I have to be able to afford games this fall! Have you *seen* that release list!?) If and when the standalone drums for GHWT come out I'm going to give them a looksee, because I have heard many good things about them. <BR/><BR/>@sollaires: for my money the Les Paul from GH3 is still the best of the bunch-- it's got a great feel, it's kind of hard to pin down but I've found it's just super-comfortable to play. (if I were to get another guitar to round out the instruments I would get that one.) I think the RB2 is quite a bit better than the original, it's got more feedback on the strumming and I like the feel of it overall. I'm totally happy with them: they're wireless, the start key is recessed now, and I'm fond of the effects switch and solo keys. But the wireless Les Pauls are cheap and plentiful, and that counts much in their favor.Iroquois Pliskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324582950813408440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-47800535352530287532008-10-23T14:45:00.000-07:002008-10-23T14:45:00.000-07:00Do you have a preference among the various Rock Ba...Do you have a preference among the various Rock Band and Guitar Hero guitars? My fiancee and I keep trying to find a good review of the new Rock Band 2 guitar given the preference of the GH3 guitar (since that's the one we like - we pretty much can't stand the RB1 guitar). We keep waffling on whether to try the new guitar or just get another wireless GH3 guitar to replace our other aged plastic instruments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-11923165942015211392008-10-23T14:17:00.000-07:002008-10-23T14:17:00.000-07:00Are you planning on trying GHWT?
