I guess the drummer is in jail?
I borrowed a friend's copy of Guitar Hero, as I had never actually played it and figured it might be good practice for Rock Band gatherings. It's a little odd to go from RB to GH, especially the first GH game. I mean, I know it's an evolutionary process from the latter to the former, but it seriously feels like I've picked up the cheap, illegal knockoff version of RB. All it needs is a healthy dose of Engrish and it's there.

Part of it is just that they didn't quite have the game mechanics or controller design down yet. There's having to pick pre-fab characters instead of making your own. But really? I think the biggest difference for me is psychological: GH feels like a mere practice session because the rest of the band is missing. I would really like the play these songs (original versions, of course) on Rock Band with the full complement. I guess a couple of them have slowly trickled into RB, and I can see how it wouldn't be a priority to Rock Bandify songs that had previously been Guitar Heroed, but still. Surely all the hard work is done and they could just offer them up for download.

Although, really, a reskinned GH with Engrish would be pretty funny.
