The problem with Guitar Hero and Rock Band is that the games are slaves to the music.

By Bill Harris(noreply@blogger.com) I've always felt that in the past, Guitar Hero was far more aggressively and effectively marketed than Rock Band. Guitar Hero had the additional advantage in that it already had an established reputation (ironically enough, largely due to Harmonix, who makes Rock Band).

You'll need a copy of the game, XNA Creators Club Premium (USD 99 a year), Reaper and Magma programs as well as an Xbox Live Gold account. Tracks created will need to meet certain Harmonix specifications and be kitted out with MIDI gameplay elements before being submitted for peer review.
