characters still kinda look like human sized muppets... But I guess they're a little better than the last game... still remains to be seen just how deep the cheracter customization is. Song creation sounds great in threory but there's bound to be some sort of issue with it.

Ahh... it's forming as a complete Rock Band rip-off! As much hate I am gaining for Activision for doing these games, I must say that it does look cool :(

I don't care for GH or RB. I think most core gamers will agree with me. I will have to say my mother likes them though and she will be excited to hear about this. I couldnt agree more Triple Dk. GH is pulling a big rip off it looks like with the drum set.

Why should I buy it if there's already Rock Band with drum kit? This game will be SU*K if they didn't add new features

 Boooorrring. These kinda games are for girls and casual gamers. not that immersive for me. Now if they had you control your avatar in a virtual world of some sort going on tour to different locations and doing some kind of activity before you performed on stage that would be cool.

psn id: gingo.... they should have definitely stuck with just being guitars now it just looks like the are ripping off rock band when it was guitar hero that started using instruments

the only thing I like is that supposidly the drum pad is better then the rock band drum pad.  however, there is no way i want to have 2 drums 4 guitars and and 2 mics in my condo.  I'll stick with rockband thanks

have you guys played frets on fire its like a cheapy version of guitar hero but still fun and you can also make your own songs.

anyway guitar hero is begining to go rock bandy if thats a word

I hate these games, I do.  Rock Band gets a little love from me cause they have Faith No More tracks, but in general, this genre needs to DIAF

I finally got into GH after LoR but I don't like the giant mix of genres.  I want a purely metal version, along the lines of Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, and Lamb of God.

How can you rip off something that already ripped off other things. Nothing rock band introduced was new, and nothing guitar hero is doing is taken from rock band alone. I agree that GH should stick to its title ie. guitars, but still, drums with cymbals could be a lot more fun that rock bands crappy drumming.
