I think they continued their downhill journey with Smash Hits, justified in my review of it here on this very site.
It's very unfortunate to see the Rock Band series so underappreciated, when it's clearly the better of the two series. Because of the fact that Activision kept the Guitar Hero name, the series' popularity spawned off of the first two (and a half) games whereas Harmonix had to start from scratch building a fanbase with Rock Band. On top of that, not only is the oversaturation of Guitar Hero titles destroying its franchise, it's also destroying the Rock Band one too. People need to jump the train (as I did promptly after Guitar Hero III) over to the Rock Band series and keep the music/rhythm genre alive.

The only 'clone' series as such is the continuation of the Guitar Hero series without Harmonix.

It's best to read the posts in the thread before answering... and know what you're talking about

And why does everybody choose the Rainbow Road stage? I fall off too much! Can we do Luigi Circuit instead? Thats the only fair stage.
Rock Band 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>any Guitar Hero game. Better note charts, WAY better DLC, better soundtrack IMO, Graphics are better IMO, etc. When I play Guitar World Tour I can only play it for like 20 minutes before I get really bored. When I play Rock Band 2 I seriously never get bored it's so much fun. Did I mention better DLC, Guitar WT DLC is patheitc compared to Rock Band 2.
I'd grab RB or RB2 if the GH instruments were compatible.
Maybe RB3 will fix it, if it's ever released.
Oh yeah, there's too many GH games already. GH1, 2, 3, Aerosmith, 80's, World Tour, Metallica, Smash Hits, and then more games to be released this year. I mean, come on! Why can't Activision just go back to making Tony Hawk games? Stick with DLC once GH4 comes out.

I bought Mario Kart Wii on Wednesday, May 14, 2008. I got 100% of all gameplay modifications on Saturday, May 24, 2008. My total gameplay time was 38 hours and 2 minutes, of which about 6 hours was not related to the 100% gameplay completion. I'd have been done sooner if it wasn't for Guitar Hero. =P
Rock Band. Guitar Hero continued as an absolute rip of Rock Band. its guitar hero, so continue on with guitars, faggots.
plus RB has a much better engine of the rhythm itself, and the graphics.
