Went to Wal-Mart to get it at midnight. It's awesome. I've played it for seven hours today and I haven't even unlocked but about 25% of the songs in Career mode. doodella;
How is Today by The Smashing Pumpkins? I love that song.
Dammit, that came out today?

Sweet. I can't wait to get it. It's gonna be hard waiting until Christmas. The track list is incredible.
The only thing I don't like is the complete lack of online leaderboards. If they are there, I can't find them.
Also, I just bought the game for my Wii. Thus, I can't play the drums or do vocals yet. I'll buy them later though.
Also, I haven't seen it noted anywhere else, but there's a new difficulty level: Beginner. All you do is strum. It's ridiculous.

i'll do it only if you have to beat it to get a guitar or something
All of IGN's scores for the different versions of the games are in.
The 360 and PS3 versions only got 7.9, but the Wii version got an 8.8.
Looks like I got the right one for once. doodella;

The Wii gets more features apparently.
It still doesn't get DLC though.
Oh and when I was looking at the track list I literally thought I was looking at the Rock Band 2 track list.
Seriously so many fucking songs in that game are already on Rock Band 2.

so.... how do the conrollers work? do you have to have 4 controls to use all the instruments, like how you had to put the wii remote in the guitar for gh3 or is it different? do all the instruments come in the package? how much did it cost? D:

Seriously atleast 30 songs on the tracklist have been on Rock Band.

Nope, all the DLC is up so far. I'm tempted to buy Jessie's Girl.
Also Headless Horseman, I forgot to mention that you can actually play as Billy Corgan. Which makes the game that much better.

Only 13 of Rock Band 2's songs are in this.
Besides, this has Band on the Run. BAND ON THE RUN.
And the Wii version is actually the most fully-featured. It has an extra mode called Mii Freestyle where you grab a Mii and just play however you like. It's surprisingly fun.

Not a full song yet, but I have downloaded some. I've almost got the correct note pattern to make the music from the first level of Bionic Commando.
The game also comes with a bunch of Neversoft-created songs. Fur Elise is awesome to play, surprisingly, and even more surprisingly, I Like Dirt from Tony Hawk's American Sk8land on the DS is on there.

I didn't get the bundle, but I can confirm that the Wii version requires a Wii remote for all of the instruments except the microphone. It's retarded, in my opinion.

How does Rock Band have less features? The only feature that GH has that RB doesn't is the song creator, and the song creator is supposed to be a pain in the ass to use and the sound quality is supposed to be horrible. baddood;

Indeed. Not sure how you do the slider controls in the song creator mode with it, but it's been working fine for me so far.
I played it at Best Buy today.
The new slider thingy on the guitar makes solos quite easy, too bad I won't be able to use it whenever I get the game. befuddlement

Psh, stop your whining. The GH note charts have always been way better. RB looks far, far, too easy. Go look up some comparisons on YouTube, particularly the one of Float On.

So far Guitar Hero: World Tour has been very very easy.

It is probably the easiest one since the first, yes, but it still looks more challenging than Rock Band.
And also Hot for Teacher.
it's really that easy?
well, one part of me is somewhat happy that i won't suck as bad, but the other part yearns for more difficulty
seriously, i suck at GHIII. can't even beat Lou on Hard let alone complete Expert

I can't beat any songs off the last two tiers on Expert in GHIII. :(
There are some pretty difficult songs in this one, though, especially later in the game. Hot for Teacher, Crazy Train, BYOB, and Assassin all come to mind instantly, and I'm sure there's more.

I just saw a video for Assassin.
ITS NOT HARD, ITS JUST A SHIT TON OF TREMOLO PICKING.
Also from the videos I've seen: Is it just me or did they make songs that use the touch pad impossible to pass without it? Seriously, just look at some of those solos, they're crazy.

Yeah, I find it hard to fathom that Hot for Teacher is possible at all without the slider, but for all the other songs, it makes everything really too easy some times. You don't have to strum on those. At all.
