As I was telling Sally yesterday, I have a coworker that vastly prefers the GH3 UI to the Rock Band UI which I just don't understand. I really like the clean UI in Rock Band and the fact that a number of the important elements that you want to keep track of (energy level, multiplier level) is at the bottom of the strum area (where your eyes naturally are when playing). They're also very simple and easy to read. GH3's info is on both sides of the screen and is "styled" up which, at the moment at least, I find much harder to glance at and get the information I need when deciding if I need to go into overdrive or not. Overall, pretty fun though. It's always good to have new songs to play. I’ve been finding that I like the slightly squashy fret buttons of the new wireless guitar better than the old wired one.
