I 2nd that!!
As for the playlist, they FINALLY put Crazy Train on the game!!!! That was the most demanding song on GH3, but I'm glad they waited until this version with the drums and microphone. Can't wait to play that song!

For the 360, Rock Band and Guitar Hero instruments are all compatible with the other game due to guidelines set by microsoft for software and such.
As for ps3, I would guess that they are compatible but there is a possiblitity of them not being so, and for Wii, Rock Band 1 will not work on GHWT as far as I know but the RB2 instruments will be compatible, as well as changing the note charts for drums from 5 to 4 buttons.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I don't know if the note charts change in RB2 or not, just in GHWT, so you'll have to find that out for yourself, sorry

I'll probably just pick up the game itself. I already have 2 guitars [gh2 and gh3 ones] and that should do. Maybe I'll get the drums eventually! Only problem is that I'd get it for the PS2 to save costs, unless perhaps I can get the bundle for the Wii for Christmas :x
Also I love the fact that the game has At the Drive-In, Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, Dinosaur Jr., Modest Mouse, and The Doors, among others. Decent setlist imo!

i can't wait till i get this game (probably friday) i'll update my scorehero with my awesome scores that i'll surely attain on probably friday and saturday
I'm finding the gameplay of WT to be somewhat mediocre. Star power indicator is smaller, my drums are fucked up so I've gotta decide how to deal with that now, and the necessary precision for pull-off/hammer-ons must have been upped, because the fingering style I would use in the last game certainly doesn't work now.
With that said I still have 3 FCs, more to come, and have 5 stars on all but 5 songs right now. I can't beat Satch Boogie, though. Fuck Satch Boogie. The slider is definitely gonna take getting used to.

Being European means I'm still waiting for this but I'm really looking forward to playing Pull Me Under.
RB2 has a far better setlist but it'll be 3096 before it comes out for Wii in Europe =/

I heard that they're releasing RB2 in Europe not too long after the PS/360 releases which is suicide, IMO.
I may be getting this (UK ^__^). I already have the RB1 instruments, and I'll be getting RB2. I WANNA RAWK! =D
I have both RB2 and GH4 for the PS3 and I enjoy RB2 a lot more for various reasons. Also, GH4 drums don't work on RB2 for the PS3. But anyways, GH4 has a lot of potential for greatness, not the least which being its slightly superior set list, mostly due to Crazy Train, Beat It and Hotel California. Dam I love Crazy Train. For the most part, my main issue with GH4 is that once again, it is much more cartoony than its Rock Band counterpart. With the previous Guitar Heroes, this wasn't so much an issue. However, now that you can create your own characters, this kid-friendly atmosphere is a lot more noticeable, especially after playing RB2 which I can say with total honesty is superior in both character customization and overall 'look'. I would even go as far as saying that GH4 look is less than that of RB1, but whatever floats your boat.
Like nearly all rhythm games within their first few weeks of release, the instruments have issues, the most prominent in my mind the drum pads. GH4 drums vary wildly, my own set has a nearly unresponsive blue pad, and I have to tape my cymbals down to get a consistent sense from them. The RB2 drums are just overly sensitive, which is actually kinda worse, because there isn't much you can do to go around that. I'm sure these issues will be resolved soon so don't let them factor into your purchase decision too much. Also, the GH4 guitar is sexy as hell, pick it up even if you're getting RB2.
GH4 game play is much like Rock Band 1 and 2, the only truly marked difference is singing, which is kind of unintuitive for first time singers as talking and singing parts are distinguished by a slight color change, and you don't know how well your doing on a particular section until you either receive or don't receive the bonus multiplier.
Basically, all the parts for a great game are present, and the superb song list only adds to this. Which actually makes the game that much more disappointing. Rock Band 2 was basically just an upgrade to the graphics of Rock Band 1 and an increased song list, but at least the game was fun. Guitar Hero 4 is frustratingly disappointing. In band play, once one person fails, the entire band fails, no matter how well everyone else was doing. This is even more frustrating on online play when songs are chosen in turn by each player, so you can easily end up playing a string of boring songs and then fail 30 seconds into your choice. Also, it is nearly fucking impossible to activate drum star power without royally screwing yourself, as you have to hit both cymbals at the same time. The one place Guitar Hero 4 truly shines is the guitar, which is to be expected, considering the many years of refinement they've had. I praise to heaven whoever implemented the star power button.
Overall, Guitar Hero 4 has alot of potential to be great, but i believe it fails in too many areas to justify a purchase, especially considering that Rock Band 2 is within the same price range and is much much better. Guitar Hero 4 should have stuck to just guitars, the addition of the other instruments is an understood attempt at challenging rock band, but fails because it lacks the precision and refinement that Rock Band 2 was been able to achieve. It's too bad you can't give Rock Band 2 the song list from Guitar Hero 4. Maybe Guitar Hero 5 will be better.

pretty good post mexi. so i guess rb has the gameplay and gh has the songs, ESPECIALLY because of create a song mode. i really don't like guitar on rb since most songs are boring and...well realistic on that game, gh's note charts are better.
maybe i'll just get both, assuming the instruments work with each other's game.

I have RB2 for the PS3 as well, we should score duel sometime =P (or play as a "band," haha)
I really want to try out GHWT, but I don't plan on buying it . . . it definitely had some songs I wish were on RB2, but other than that I haven't heard anything amazing about it. With RB2, I expected at least the same quality or better than RB1 (which was an awesome game) so I went with that -- plus, I have a bunch of DLC, and the prospect of having my old RB1 tracks and DLC all in one new game was too good to pass up. My neighbor's supposedly buying GHWT for his 360, so hopefully his drums aren't screwed and I'll get to play it.
does anyone else feel like the difficulty of this game has downgraded :( medium feels like it's 'easy', hard feels like it's 'medium'. i found most gh3 songs to be much harder than this! then again i havent unlocked ALL the songs here (they are so many)
fuck are there any other scenarios other than the dumb boat stage and the flying ship? i am SO fucking sick of those two i swear to god

yeah, there were more songs on gh3 that i couldn't at least 4 star on expert...and there's more songs total in ghwt.
and yes there are more venues than those two lol. although i don't really like any of them.
I haven't got this yet but, out of interest, if GH3 DLC downloadable in WT? I have a Wii so if not I will be very pissed off.
do you have to buy them on the shop or something? i havent explored mcuh yet but all that appears in career mode are the boats.
also recently i completed story mode and the last 5 songs paid off, they were all very challenging
I have a perfectly functioning drum kit, and i like it better then RB2's drums, mainly due to the fact that with RB2, i get the feeling im just hitting some pads, while with WT I feel like i'm actually drumming :D
P.S. Hot For Teacher on Expert Drums, is SICK, While Satch Boogie is sick on Expert Guitar.

Got this game for Christmas; it's my first rythym game and I'm liking it. I've been having problems with the drums, too (yellow isn't responding at all), and band play is kind of frustrating when someone is doing worse. I like almost all the songs in it, and there're some pretty great user-created songs like Pokey Means Business, too.

A Full combo, which means you hit every note in a song.

When someone else is failing in band play, it's bad for you. But when you go into red, you get more time to recover than on single play, so it's good for the person failing.
Anyway, I got this game for Christmas and I have enjoyed it a lot. The setlist is better than in previous games in my opinion. I'm nothing special at Guitar Hero, but I can pass all songs on Hard except for Assassin by Muse.
