I picked up Rock Band this last weekend, just the game. I love it. Over Christmas I played Guitar Hero with my sister. She liked it and she came up with the same conclusion I did, GH2 is better than GH3 yet the songs in GH3 are better. GH2 is not so difficult that you have fun playing it. GH3 is more difficult and requires much more concentration. I do not find that as much fun. I can't relax and groove with the songs like in GH2.
