With all the hoopla surrounding the release of the Beatles Rock Band game, I decided to do a little research on the games to see what they were all about and try and figure out which one was better. I'm a mom, so naturally, I did what all moms would do in this situation.
I asked my kid.
My son is seven and has played both games. He got very serious when talking to me - video games are very important in his world. In his opinion, Rock Band is better because you can play all the instruments, whereas in Guitar Hero you're limited to guitar and drums.
Honestly, I don't know. I'd be hard pressed to choose. Guitar Hero has an Aerosmith and Metallica version, two bands I personally love. But now Rock Band has the Beatles. Tough choice.
I checked out the lists of songs available to play along to and was surprised by the variety and sheer number of songs. My son has asked me to download songs for him that he's heard while playing the game. Personally, I think anything that exposes kids to all different kinds of music is a good thing.
