When I learned about Rock Band, I was ecstatic and my mindset was “Screw Guitar Hero, I have Rock Band!” However, I figured I might as well get myself ready for Rock Band by practicing with Guitar Hero III, and since I’m a cheap bastard, I played through the game at a buddy’s place on the Wii, but it’s also available for the PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360. Anyway, Guitar Hero II felt like a disappointment to me and I wasn’t that anxious to support the franchise which appeared to be milking it for what it’s worth with the minute 80’s expansion or the third game. The songs included weren’t as memorable as “More Than A Feeling” from Boston, “Iron Man” from Black Sabbath, or the original “Guitar Hero” song, then again I’m not much of a music guy so I usually go into these games blind and retain the ones I really liked. That next year, Guitar Hero II released with much hype and in many ways I felt that killed the game. While I joined the party a few months after the initial release it was undoubtedly the most awesome experience I ever had. It’s only been two years since the first Guitar Hero exploded onto the wannabe rock star scene.
