Having just now learned that all my Rock Band instruments work on Guitar Hero: World Tour (sad, I know, but still...), I have been enjoying the drums. Sort of weird that the kick pedal which could be easily ignored with the Guitar Hero drums is intrinsic to playing the game with the Rock Band drums, but hey, it's still fun.

The song list has some duplicates, but the guest stars are freaking awesome. Hendrix, Sting, Travis Barker, Hayley Williams, and Ozzy all make guest appearances for their own songs, and there's a couple decent guitar battles. The drums are kind of an afterthought, but it's not that bad. The only real let-down of the title is that, although you can make your own songs using the instruments, you can't add vocal tracks just by singing. You need a keyboard for that, apparently, which definitely makes me think that they really could have just done without it.

As for Rock Band 2 - love it! Sure, some of the songs can get repetitive after a while (a few just pop up like a bad habit on those mystery set lists, and are repeated in a few of the local showcases), but there's really no misses here. The only thing that World Tour has on it is the celebrity appearances, the lack of repeats (unless you want to replay a song), and all master tracks. Gameplay is a bit more fun on Rock Band, and the visuals are more fun.

I'd recommend both, but if you only get one, get Rock Band 2. And make sure you've got a 360.
