Console wars are so last season. Now we've got setlist wars for music games. When Rock Band 2's formidable list was confirmed during E3 week, we uttered a low whistle for all the catching up Guitar Hero: World Tour would have to do to to keep it a competition. Now, via the Something Awful forums comes what purports to be a leaked list of World Tour songs by their respective sections. Now, we know now that Rock Band and Guitar Hero are somewhat different in terms of who plays them and what their motivation is, and a great Rock Band song might've made a boring Guitar Hero III song. But are all bets off now that we've got band sets for both games?
And if so, let's play pretend for a sec, and imagine that what follows after the jump is actually Guitar Hero: World Tour's list. If it is, then who do you think's winning now?

I'm never giving Activision any money for GH ever again.

 

[nailz]

uh... Ok.

 

[Jibrille]

uh... Ok.

It basically means: I'm getting RB2.

The only bands that could ever possibly steer me towards GH again will never be in the game. With GH3 they promised lots of DLC and they released about 1/10th of what RB has released. They'd much rather force a game like GH:Aerosmith on customers then let them selectively choose DLC here and there. The song creation thing is a far cry from the legit DLC I want. Plus they blocked the patch for the PS3 to allow me to use GH guitars in RB. I was all set to buy two GH guitars and purchase RB as a standalone game. Never bothered getting that second guitar and all the stuff added up means they've lost all future purchases.

 

[Thorn23TX]

If that GH:WT list is accurate then it would indeed be amazing (I'd buy it just to be able to play Hallowed Be Thy Name) however, I have two problems with it:

1) I can't imagine a whole tour would be made up of a single artist (in this case the most shining example is Tool) as variety has previously been the name of the game for Activision. I will concede that perhaps that attitude has changed what with the success of the DLC for Rock Band, but I still think it's highly unlikely.
2) I don't believe that Sting would/could be one of the boss battles. How could you have a guitar battle vs. Sting? Ummmm... Helloooooo... Sting plays bass? Call it a boss battle vs. Andy Summers if you want, but not Sting... doesn't make any sense and that is why this list sounds bogus.

I hope I'm wrong though...

 

[dcowboys311]

The Guitar Hero setlist is pretty weak IMO. Too much emo. Yeah, the metal songs are cool, but they aren't worth the money spent on the game and equipment (since GH4 won't work with Rock Band equipment). The RB2 setlist is amazing though!

 

[No-Mercy]

just by scrolling down the band names it looks like rock band 2.
but, guitar hero makes it tricky by making the sets closer to the end of their list so good- thats what you remember. even though, when spread out like RB2 does, its nothing better.
