The bottom line on all this, is this game has no lasting appeal. The online is horrible, trying to get a game going is a nightmare. I found myself sitting around for hours just trying to get a couple full bands going. This is all make or break for me, it's the online on Rock Band that keeps me playing.
As for the new gear, the first guitar I got the strum bar started sticking and sqeaking loud then the whammy bar just stopped woring within 2 hours. I exchanged that and the guitar wouldn't strum down at all. Thrid guitar it's ok but something seems to be wrong with all these guitars strumbars, they aren't going to last and they click sooo very loud. And the touch pad is going to mess up FC's cause it just keeps triggering at random on me. I didn't get the drums but I had 3 friends who got the kits and none of there drums would function right.
On top of this all most stores don't accept returns on super bundle stuff and you have to pay to ship it back to activision, that is nonsense and unacceptable just to get a working drums set you just bought.
I still think the gh3 guitar is the best and I use it to play Rock Band and openly admit I hate the rock band guitar.
Back to the game, they also opened up the timing window to an outrageous range. You'll get through crazy solos easy and it seems they just made them look crazy hard so when people watch you it seems like you amazing....but it's not hard.
And the slide strip is just stupid, nobody is gonna use that. Take it off the guitar, it's just in the way.
Guitar Hero Wold Tour just over all seems way to childish and has no soul. It's just empty. Not much fun, and looks terrible. DId I mention this still looks like gh3 and gh3 pretty much looked just like a PS2 game. The characters just act awkward and the drummer isn't playing the beats in the song at all, its' just robotic and crap.
Overall I just can't see why anyone would want to pick this game over Rock Band with all it's DLC weekly and amazing online.
Rent this game, get your points and be done with it.
