Rock Band
The Rock Band franchise introduced the first rhythm game to incorporate drums and vocals in addition to guitar and bass instruments, creating a virtual band. It was also the first franchise to include genre staples such as Band World Tour, and character customization.
Is Rock Band officially the best?
So I have to admit something, I have always been on harmonix's side, just because it felt more "real rock" than guitar hero, and from the first two games I got really attached to the development team, not to mention how great their support to DLC was. But what I just realized is that Rock Band is really making a BEATLES GAME. How badass is that?
Guitar Hero got really into those solo versions with Aerosmith, Metallica, and eventually Van Halen. Not to diss any of the bands, they are really great, especially Aerosmith, but I really don't think that those bands deserve their own game. I really don't know how many people want to play the same band for the whole game, but I do know that I totally would rather play the Beatles one!
I'm just saying that it finally hit me that this Beatles game is coming out, and I just got hella excited. That just sounds awesome. That's a band, that in my opinion, I could play hours of their music, and still enjoy.

I like the way Guitar Hero plays slightly more than Rock Band, it's less precise and is more solo-oriented. Plus, the peripherals for GH:WT are much better than either of the RB games IMO. Rock Band does have more of a soul (if you understand what I mean), the DLC is abundant, and they are making a BEATLES game for god's sake but none of that beats out the gameplay.
Guitar Hero.
