Dec 22nd 2008 6:17PM I think comparing sales figures of GHWT, essentially a brand new game, to sales of RB2, a sequel with minimal changes to the original, is not a fair comparison. For a fair comparison, you really ought to compare sales of Rock Band to GHWT...in which case Rock Band beats it by a considerable margin, even factoring in time-in-market.
Also, if we're only going to judge a game by how well it sells, BioShock, GTA IV, and COD4 can all take a back seat to that awesomest of all awesome: Wii Sports.
I don't care how well GHWT sells, the arrangements of songs are not as good as Rock Band's arrangements. I don't like the instrument construction as much (even considering Rock Band's early instrument flaws). But most of all, GH as a franchise has convinced me that they are trying to sucker me out of money. I'm fine with giving gamemakers their due (and I've blown a pretty penny on Rock Band DLs), but there's a point where it becomes clear that you're ripping people off. GHWT: Metallica is a prime example. As many others have pointed out, this should be downloadable content, NOT a separate game. Making it a separate game is a sucker play.
