As I talk to Rick right now about all the cool songs in the Guitar Hero set lists, I am greatly disheartened that I can not play or even download the songs from previous versions of GH. This is complete and utter BULLSHIT!!!!.
There are a ton of songs, that may not be great songs, but are fun songs to play. Right now the Guitar Hero website lists 468 songs but if you're like me and only like to play the drums, you only have 143 songs available to you. Looking at the Wikipedia entry for Rock Band songs, there are over 400 songs I can play on the drums or anyone else can play on the guitar or sing.
Herein lies the problem with Activision. We know the people from Harmonix came from the Activision school of thought (and their labs and offices). But they went the triumphant step ahead and created the drum pads and karaoke on steroids sing along. To make things better, they made the game backwards compatible so that you could save all your RB1 songs on your X-Box 360 and play them on RB2. Then, in a stroke of geniues they offer a Wal-Mart only sale of AC/DC Live songs. So not only do you have a long list of great songs from the original game and RB2, but a game of just songs from an iconic American band.
It seems to me that Activision is behind the times with the release of the Metallica game. It will be more disapointing if I have to keep switching discs to play different songs.
It would make more sense for both Activision and Harmonix to just offer the games as DLC online for the same price, then I wouldn't have to wait to have it delivered from Wal-Mart or my local game store (Game Stop, etc.) to have it in stock.
