Guitar Hero or Rock Band?

What are you doing on break? If you don't feel like being at the mall with everyone else, you might be gaming. If you like music, what do you play? Some gamers adore Rock Band and were anxious for the Beatles edition to come out, while others would never play anything but Guitar Hero. What about you? Tell us what you like to play.

For a fun look at this 'friendly competition,' check out Prizefight and see if you agree with Brian Tong.

I like to play rock band more than guitar hero because there's more instruments that you can choose from. also, it's a better group game because you can have four people on it. rock band is a great game to play with your friends.

I find it think another reason Brian Tong for some prefering one over the other is simply the shape of the notes that scroll down as you play, rectangles or circles. I know it distracts me to play GH, the circles just don't seem as professional or precise.

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the two games! Sounds like Rock Band is winning so far. Any others have strong feelings for one or the other?
