I really hate Rock Band's art style. The fretboards and whatnot look awful, I have a hard time. Then again, The Beatles...
Also Rock Band's instruments have always been crap.
I might rent it so I can play Back in the USSR a thousand times.
you just get used to the appearance, as for the instruments..
the mics never let down, and the singing on rock band is a thousand times better than guitar hero. no argument there, singing on GH is horrid.
as far as the drums go, they've learned their lesson with the pedal, so it's probably fixed by now.
as for the guitars, eh, i'm not a fan of the rockband strumbars, but whatever. the instruments looks will make up for it haha.
