Despite the huge success of "Guitar Hero III," the release of "Rock Band" by the franchise's original developer could mean real competition.

Is there a significant difference between these 2 games?

It just seems like there's really just one basic format. Then again, I
haven't really played guitar hero that much. Any info?

Yes

Guitar Hero 3 is guitar only. Rock Band has guitar, drums, and karaoke.
