K the GH/RB FAQ is now Post number 6 on this thread. Would all my helpers and thread vets please refer people to it when necessary?
Also let me know if you think of anything to add or edit.
Thanks!
Guitar Hero World Tour/Rock Band FAQ
1. Which is better?
I can’t emphasize this enough—it is all about personal preference. The best suggestion is to try both games out first either at Best Buy or with someone you know. Otherwise find a song list (google is your friend).
2. Which is sturdier?
Another toss up. You show me 8 people who swear RB is a piece of garbage and I’ll show you 8 who say the same about GH. The bottom line is to treat all the instruments like they are made of gold. If something breaks contact the manufacturer or the store if you buy the warranty.
3. Should I buy the warranty?
Is the game going to be played? Then yes, chances are you could use a warranty. I joke, but every single person I know (including my uber careful DH) has at the very least snapped the RB drum pedal (POC). Just check to make sure the instruments are covered and that you’ll get new ones quick.
4. Are the games family friendly?
Depends on your family, but they both offer about the same exact level of friendliness. Both games cut nearly all swearing out, but these are rock songs so adult material is always there. Now Lego Rock Band is a different story.
Both games have family friendly options for play modes.
RB has the no fail option. You can’t get easier than that. With it your 2 year old can wail away on your (already broken) guitar.
As far as will my 3/5/10 year old have an easier time with RB/GH? The prevailing opinion is that RB is easier on guitar, but that it really doesn’t matter. The object of the game is to get better, both games are accessible to most ages just about equally.
5. Are they compatible? Will my guitar for RB work for GH?

I’ll try to update when we know for sure about Lego…
6. I have an Xbox/PS3 and a Wii, which version should I buy?
With the exception of the PS2 version, I highly recommend you buy for any system other than the Wii if it is an option. The other versions have more available songs and better download interfaces.
7. Where can I find more information/reviews?
