    Maybe they should just sell hotcakes..

    :lol:

    why have I never thought of that before...

    Because hotcakes don't sell that well, aren't that good, and it's a shitty analogy.

    Many better things have also come along between this and sliced bread.

    You're just jealous you didn't say it first.

    I'm thinking $50.

    If the track list is good, I'll be getting it. For $50. But not any more than that. Fuck no.

    Looks like it is $50.

    Well, $50 might be okay, but now it all depends on the track list.

    And even though no one would admit it if the first DLC full album for Rock Band was the Karate Kid Soundtrack, everyone would buy it. Good lord that would be an awesome night of Esposito. I may be joking but I only wish I was 100% joking. : )

    Oops I quoted the wrong person before, what i meant to say here was it would be even better if they had the Dirk Diggler version of this song. I'd love to try and match his vocals.

    You can feel the Digg here.

    And actually while we're at it the bestest version of any song live ever ever here

    That doesn't look like a very good track list. It's also rather small. I enjoy how they're shoehorning features in for the DS version. Blow on the mic to put out pyrotechnics gone wrong! What the hell.

    Here's my prediction: It's not going to be very good. But it will sell well.

    that's...not a great song list at all

    To change the OP title, just edit the first post and you can change the title in there.

    Seriously, those 15 songs are not great. hopefully the last 10 that bring it to 25 are better
    I'm still buying it

    I can see why the picked most of the choices. They're going with the whole "Casuals love the DS!" thing, and most of those songs have been played over the radio plenty to be well known by the masses.
    The small number of songs is what is really horrible.

    Bleh.

    I wouldn't mind those songs if it was part of a list with more variety and more, y'know, ROCK as opposed to poppy stuff. But by itself? Ew.

    I dunno, maybe the list has more "casual" appeal, but the previous Guitar Heroes sucked up the casuals just fine.

    Isn't that same song in GH3?

    If I'm correct, it's one of the multi-player unlock ones.

    But it's been a long time since I've put in GH3, so I may be totally wrong.

    Well dammit, I should say that I don't own GH3 either, but that's my mistake for missing that. I'm put off by all the stories of over-complex note charts and that kind of crap (boss battles and powerups too? OF COURSE!).
    Basically I want it in Rock Band. Ignore me!

    Yeah, I don't understand this move. IF they're putting in pop rock because they have this idea that the DS is geared towards a broader, more casual audience, then they're full of shit, because Guitar Hero is already extremely popular with the massive casual audience, and it did so by having awesome rock music, not fucking Smash Mouth.


    My second problem with this is that several songs are being rehashed from GH3. Songs I've already played to death and achieved five stars on, etc etc.


    The only thing that remains to be seen is what the remaining 10 or 11 songs are; if there are going to be more. I'm not coughing up $50 for 15 songs. Especially the likes of those.

    The best was the Will Ferrell skit with Garth Brooks, where Will was the devil and he was going to give Garth a hit song in exchange for his soul.

    Turns out the devil is a horrible muscian, and hilarity ensues.

    The best part though was when the devil exclaims:

    "I've got it!!! Hey you, you're a nice guy, put your shoes on, hey yoooooooooou."

    And together they realize it's the terrible SmashMouth song.

    It's actually one of the better note charts in GH3, as far as that goes.

    Honestly, for Rock Band I'd rather have Positive Tension than Helicopter, but that's just me. You can actually make out the words in that one.

    You use it to blow out fires.

    No, I'm not joking.
    Or out-of-control pyrotechnics will be set ablaze, and players will have to blow them out using the Nintendo DS microphone.

    This game is going to suck.

    First I heard about GH going to DS and I thought, "wow I'm not buying that, that's dumb."

    Then I watched that video and saw him having to do the stupid blow-on-the-mic gimmick and I thought, "wow I'm not buying that, that's really dumb."

    And then I saw the tracklist and I thought, "I shall not purchase this product for it does not provoke an interest to purchase within me."

    So basically I agree with the posts above which state this game is going to suck.
