Music Genre Not Saturated, Says Guitar Hero Exec

[Daniel Cygnus]

Wait, what does he mean, GH5 is the best reviewed game in the genre? Beatles Rock Band has a higher Metacritic, and I'm almost positive the two Rock Band's would as well.

Yep.

GH1=91 (1 and 2 produced by Harmonix)
GH2=92
GH3=85 (Notice that this is where Neversoft took the reins)
GH4=86
GH5=90

RB1=92 (Both produced by Harmonix)
RB2=92

At its post-Harmonix best, GH has never out-rated RB. Hell, they never managed to out-rate the old GH games.

The genre is as stale as a 3 week old cheese slice... rock solid, not much to be expected, tastes like shit.

Rock Band 3 promises to revolutionize the genre? I doubt that adding a new button or another whammy bar is going to change stuff.

Better music, more in-game possibilities, graphics improvements... increased customization - all that is needed to keep this boat afloat. But nothing can get the genre back to its height. People are gettting tired of plastic toys. Nuff said.

If the music genre isn't saturated then why hasn't Guitar Hero had a semi decent set list since 3. 1 and 2 were the only ones really worth buying.
