Guitar Hero or Rockband

Personally, I like the guitars from GH better, but RB has better songs, overall.

Truthfully, you won't go wrong with either. And you might play more than your boy does.

My son has Beatles Rockband

Guitar Hero.

The field of play sucks in Rock Band. The "buffer time" is too short. You can only see like a measure ahead of time. Also the hammer-on notes are much more difficult to detect in Rock Band. They're very easy to pick out in GH. Another thing: when you have "star power" or whatever it's called in RB, you get this orange wavy line design which makes it difficult to see the notes, especially the orange ones. I'd rather have blue notes and see where they are than colored notes I can't find.

Plus the songs in GH are just more fun to play, they're more focused on the guitar shredding, and cater to songs with ridiculous solos that are a blast to play. Most of what I've played in RB has been alternative/emo bullshite.

Rockband is better

I have both and say Rock Band. Rock Band's song library >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GH.

Yeah, I think GH is easier to play. But still challenging enough in the higher difficulities that it will keep you and your kid entertained.

But don't feel bad when after a week he's whipping your arse and getting perfects in the hard or expert level. Those little kids are bad arse on that GH.

Rockband.

By a TON.

Rock Band.More DLC to have.
