    I'm ashamed.. How does this game keep doing that? It hasn't fundamentally changed from the beginning and yet people lap it up..

      Because Guitar Hero has become so big (Like it or not) it's become a part of culture. Some see the games as a way to broaden their music intrests (Me) some people see it as a way for popularity (Youtube users) and others see it to make money (Guest celebrities and bands appearing).

      Sure it hasn't changed, but it's evolved and with more and more songs, think of it as the sims. More expansions

      Hopefully my Guitar will work this time...

        Did you not freaking see the disparity of content in the songlist?

      Primarily because Rock Band isn't very well promoted in Europe. So people's only option is to buy every lame-ass GH game that comes out.
