Well, I love guiter hero and have beat 2 and 3 on expert(with the exception of the last boss battle on 3) and my family owns rock band 1, but I honestly never cared for it as much. I can't sing. I was awful at drums mostly as a result of the awkward foot petal which I couldn't use for one song without just saying screw it and not using it. And to me, coming from guitar hero, the guitar that came with the game was awful so I would just use the guitar hero guitar and there was only one decently challenging song on expert (Green Grass and High Tides). All this aside I think its a fun game if you can get 3 other people to stop playing super smash bros. long enough to play, and you can actually get someone to sing...
