I honestly have a feeling that Still Alive will be fun to play on guitar.

So, what's the final verdict on worth if you're going to buy Rock Band as a mostly single player game?
Are the single player tours fun and of value when comparing them to the same in GH3?
Will I be pissed because I can't play BWT?
I'll occasionally be able to play BWT with my wife and friends, but largely this will be played single player.
I may pick this up today. What I'm really looking for in the end is the same single player experience as I get with GH3, only with different songs and two more instruments. Also the much better DLC.
The rest is gravy.
Willl I be happy?

you'll be fine. Guitar is mostly easier compared to GH3, but unless you're a super hardcore GH3 player, you should be fine. Drums are probably the biggest draw anyways.
And if you really wanna go all out, you can buy a mic stand and do BWT by yourself playing guitar and singer

While multiplayer is where this game is at, I play it single player about 95% of the time and it's still my favorite game this generation. If you liked the single player progression of the Guitar Hero games, there's no reason you won't like the single player progression of this game. The songs may not provide as big of a challenge on guitar as the GH games, but they're still a lot of fun.

I've played it 80% solo. Depending on your relative skill level, it completely outclasses GH3. There's access to more songs, and the charts are much more fun to a player of medium skill.
If you're on a pro-level, though, it might not be as satisfying. But there are three completely separate paths of solo play.

I don't understand this. You keep saying it, but I still don't understand it.
Is Raining Blood and One on Medium really that much harder than Green Grass and Train Kept A Rollin' on Medium? I'm not calling you out, I'm genuinely interested. I've obviously not played them to do a direct comparison, but I played GGAHT on hard and it really didn't seem all that different to what I expect from GH:3 hard.

I agree with that. But medium on both only uses 4 both frets, and has minimal hammer on sections. From a charting conventions stand point I don't see what the difference is. But like I said, I've only played GH:3 on medium, not Rock Band. And I only did it for achievements, so you know. I wasn't exactly taking it in.
GH3 on medium is much harder than Rock Band on medium.
Take it from someone who has experienced both games on medium and has played song like Raining Blood and GGaHT on medium.
I just started playing these games in 2008, so I know what it's like to play these games and be a "medium skilled player"

Fair enough I guess. I spent exactly one day beating my first Guitar Hero (2) on medium, so I can't relate. Mad uber l33t skills fo shizzle.

And from the charting conventions standpoint I do. I stopped enjoying one, and have yet to have that occur on the other. Pretty simple. YMMV.
I spent about 2-3 weeks on medium and played as much of every GH game I could (I played most of the songs in 3 and about half of 1, with hardly and 2), while I went through the Rock Band solo tour. After I finished the solo tour, I started the tour on hard. It was about another month before I decided to start trying expert... and that brings me to present day guitar hero/rock band. So, I'm probably progressing slower than most...TheGreatDave said:
So, I've finally tried all my songs on expert guitar and... ggrrrr... 80/96 songs completed.
I feel like I'm stuck and won't get good enough to complete those other songs.
also,
holy crap at Blackened...
and why does the solo in Ride The Lightning have to be so hard, I do great up until then.

Hard took me several months to get through on GH:2. I just had enough experience in other rhythm games for medium on Guitar Hero 2 to be a piece of cake for me.

Thanks for the opinions everyone, I just picked up Rock Band! May not get to play right away, but I jumped on a deal.
For anyone who's interested, I got Rock Band & 1600 points for $152.99 (before tax) from Circuit City..
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Rock...sem/rpsm/oid/188989/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
Use the 10% off to bring it to 152.99. I went with in store pickup, and when I got there on the back page of the circular it said get a free 1600 points card with purchase. So I asked the lady and she added it on and was good to go. I think the 10% off online expires tonight though.
Anyhow, here's a new question:
What the absolutely EASIEST song on easy for drums? It can be on disc or a download track. It's for my 6 year old daughter who I know will want to play drums. Something to get her learning.

Just downloaded this right now!! Proof, in case you think it's a gag (which I thought it was).
Dunno if it is in the in-game store, I imagine it is.

Hey, whoa. Check your store (unless it's already down). It might be why they released it early...
