Harmonix developed that style of game and they understood it more acutely than Neversoft et al. I played RB 1 2 and 3, played GH 1 and 2 and World Tour and with no particular allegiance prior to that, determined that RB is appreciably better (once Harmonix palmed off GH). GH gameplay quality took a hit when Activision took over and no amount of gimmicks could hide the fact that Harmonix do it better. A cursory glance across a few discussions and reviews supports this. Even Activision CEO Kotick lamented the discarding of Harmonix.

I guess it's down to whether you play for song choice or gameplay. I favour the latter. Having songs that I enjoy is ofc excellent, but it doesn't trump the feels I get from hitting the buttons and seeing a number go up. This is why I enjoy JP rhythm games despite ~80% of the music being of questionable quality.Skerret wrote:it was always the better game v GH
