I've been playing RB2 a lot this week, and felt confident enough to return to GH3 on Medium.

The shift in difficulty is HUGE. There's a lot more emphasis on speed with GH whereas RB focuses more on tricky dual note transitions.

RB2 has been the first rock music game i've really enjoyed.....dress up mode might have something to do with it though.

What difficulty do you have to play it on to 5 star it?

I managed to get 88% on an expert song on Green Day earlier, first time I've even finished a song on anything higher than medium also. There was an achievement for getting 3 stars or more on Expert, I was very few points away from 5, I was quite chuffed

• I don't have as much time to game ... so when I do I want to play a proper game ...
• No one else seem's to have much time either ... and it's hard to get a group together.
  
• Finally playing on normal or whatever is easy. Yet making the leap upwards ... is ok on some tracks and other's it's just horrible. Considering I don't get to play it much it seems pointless to spend hours getting good at the game.
  
• Though I imagine once your great at them ... the skills pretty much transfer across to all the games and you've just got to get used to a few tunes.
  
• It's great fun in a group though ... I got it quite cheap (1&2) so yeah it's great fun when you've got the time. Though I'm glad the new games or something are trying to introduce learning how to play real instruments too. That's a great idea.
• I don't know why I bullet pointed this now.

Cheers DJ, that's my single copy cancelled and the bundle ordered then.

It's got a great review in Xbox360world, 95.

IMHO Guitar Hero just isn't in the same league as Rock Band and GH really did take the piss with mindless sequels which didn't move on at all.

With the Rhythm Music genre dying a death currently (86,000 worldwide sales for Warrior's of Rock) along with previous releases of stuff like value packs, I assumed Harmonix, MTV and EA had learnt their lessons with the pricing of Rock Band. Unfortunately at £125 for a guitar by itself without the game (the one you need to play PRO mode) I'm no longer interested in the game.

The fact there is no guitar pro and game pack is ridiculous too, once the Guitar drops below £50 and the game about £20 I'll consider getting this, until then though I don't see the point, all the songs will be on the store and so I may as well stick to RB1 and 2 for now, the only benefit of RB3 was Pro mode and without it, it offers nothing over what I already own.
