Naturally I'd like to get the best one, which do you guys think?

But also, if you buy the GH band, you can use the instruments to play rock band, however, Rock Band instruments will not work on Guitar Hero. There are more tracks on GH, a mixing studio, a jam session, and there are various settings to accommodate different levels. But I am biased, as I also own GH3 (my fav). And Aerosmith Addition. It took 20 hours of play on Easy to complete GHWT on guitar (now working on drums), whereas RB was more like 5.

The kids had the rb2 and gh playing together last night. If you are going to combine them I would check with your local gamer store and see which way they are compatible.

Even in our town with 2 gamestops - only one is referred to by the teens and such as a gamer store - I only go to the gamer store for information - if I already know what I am buying I can go anywhere.
