And to cap off the night, I fiddled around in Guitar Hero 3 for a while. I hadn’t really played it since Rock Band came out, but there are still some songs in there that I like, so I gave them another whirl.

Also, just for kicks, I went back and redid some of the songs on Easy, trying to see if I could improve my score. I managed to FC a few more of them, and after 8 or 9 or so, I checked the leaderboards and I’d jumped from around ~83k’th place up to around 61k. On Easy albeit, but that’s probably as good as I’m ever going to do at any of these guitar games.

One thing that struck me though, was how cluttered GH3 feels compared to Rock Band. After playing RB for a while, it feels like the graphical effects in GH3 like the crackling lightning on the side of the fretboard and the note streak announcements just get in the way and distract too much.
