It's not a matter of "taste" it's a matter of providing a fun experience on all instruments like GH2, Rock Band 1, etc

But it was.ElNarez said:tee hee you think RB1's tracklist was fun on all instruments. I know I think all RB games have great tracklists, but this is a fucking lie.

Leondexter said:Really? I like the Beatles, but their RB tracks are boring as hell to play. Maybe in Lefty Mode they'd offer some challenge...
I love playing that song on Expert. You should have said Seven and you would have had a better argument.ElNarez said:Sabotage on guitar. Thank you good night.

No. I agree with toymachine. RB 1's setlist was great for all instruments. Sure, it had some stinkers like Vagiant, but the good outweighs the bad.ElNarez said:Unless you mean fun on all instruments when all instruments are played at the same time in the context of band play. Then pretty much every song they have on every tracklist of every game is fun on all instruments.

RB guitar or GH guitar? The PS2 RB guitars are PS3 guitars, so that would work right away.jett said:I'd buy it if my PS2 guitar somehow worked with the PS3. Alas, no.
CartridgeBlower said:Does anyone here use the Pro guitar? The real one, I mean, with the actual frets and strings?
If so, what's your take on it?

tygertrip said:I have the Squire. It is incredible. I was prepared to be disappointed, but it absolutely blew me away. I have been playing
guitar for 18 years, and, IMO, this is the best innovation in guitar gear since the fuzz pedal. I actually just spent 20 minutes typing up the pros and cons, and how it exceeded my expectations, hit the wrong button, and lost the whole goddamn thing. I'm not going to rewrite it, I want to play some Crysis 2 before I go to bed. I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone has about it though. I can only speak from the perspective of an experienced player, however. I have no idea how it would be for someone who has never touched a real guitar before the Squire. In short, for learning songs by rote, and for timing, it is a wonderful tool. It is also great fun to play for score with it. I think if someone was learning how to play from scratch though, this would, by no means, take the place of a teacher. As a supplement though, it would be terrific.
As for me, I already know how to play, and it removes 90% (pulling numbers out of my ass here) of the tedium of memorizing songs. As far as I am concerned, Harmonix and Fender are gods... my two favorite things in the world, after my kids, have finally been combined! Video games and (real) guitar! Notice I didn't mention my wife there, heh.

I ask because as a guitarist, these things could throw me off. I'm used to playing professional instruments of the highest quality, and the idea of going to a Squier (of all cheap brands) for this makes me doubtful.

Sax_Man said:I played the game plenty. Ultimately it boils down to the fact that the set list sucks, and the set list is the beating heart of every single music game. There's nothing really "wrong" with RB3 except for the songs in the game - everything is workable. However, music games live and die by the music.
RB1/2 are my two favorite music games of all time. Both games display what Harmonix does best in the plastic guitar genre - that is, choosing songs that work well within the Rock Band framework and are fun to play. Guitar Hero 1/2 and Rock Band 1/2 introduced me to tons of new music that I had never heard before, and that I found awesome to listen to and to play. RB3... not so much.
Why should I have to purchase DLC and spend more money to get the full enjoyment from the game? :/

AMUSIX said:OK, my wife and I just finished up a 35 song set where we were singing duets/harmonies...
I'd say the vocals are largely overlooked, but this was one of the best nights I've had with this game (and I've had a lot of great play sessions with it).
Stand-out tracks were: Space Oddity, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, We Belong, Airplanes, Obsession, Small Axe, and Lay Your Hands On Me...though, honestly, there were a ton of great songs.
So my suggestion would be to go buy the game for $20 and buy the Lips 2-mic bundle for another $25 and just have an awesome karaoke game.
