One of my best experiences as gamer (and more than 20 years have passed since I started XD).


DLC is huge and awesome. GH has nothing to do in any way ^^.

Rock Band 2 has much better tracks than GH:WT. The DLC is 20 times better on this game than GH:WT as well.

I think GHWT is a great music game (has a better soundtrack and instruments) but ROCK BAND 2 overall is slightly better if your looking for a more recreational/party affair. Problem with RB is that it's getting TRUMPED by the competition (GH). It has strong sales on 360, but Guitar hero has sold WAY more on the console and on the PS3 and WII, GHWT just completely blew it out of the water.
