(compiler/psyche1004) The music main game "Guitar Hero" (Guitar Hero) seems to be on the decline, and the Rising Star "rock band" series of sales of the continuous rise of the former era of the decline of the opening.  EA's new Music "rock Band 3" is expected to be listed at the end of the year, is said to be out of the traditional framework of the new game mode debut, 2000 poems large audio source and comparable to the concert scene of the picture effect, so that it has won a lot of overseas game site high score evaluation. "Rock Band" series to the music of the real band as the theme, such as "Rock band: The Beatles," "Rock band: Green Day" and so on, have been praised by all parties, sales are very impressive. Although the authorities do not disclose specific data, they are far above the "Guitar Hero" supremacy.  Although the latest new "Guitar Hero: Rock Warrior" is also being introduced, the prospects for sales are far less than before. As a matter of fact, the benefits of music-themed games have been declining since 2008, not only the "Guitar Hero", "DJ Hero" sales in the past two years is also a downward trend.  The reason is still able to make a big profit in 2009 years, all because of housekeeping treasure as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" single-handedly provoked the beam. In addition to the reduction in sales, the media score drop is also a sore heart. "Guitar Hero" series since the first season, the evaluation of each generation of works is only the general, the latest work "Guitar Hero: Rock Warriors" only 6 points of evaluation.  For each generation of works always maintained on the average of more than 8 points, the latest works to obtain 9.5 high score of the "Rock Band" series, dynamic vision can only be a catch. Overseas commentators have pointed out that the industry's disappointment with "Guitar Hero" has gradually been overshadowed by the "rock band" expectations, if not as soon as possible to take action to reverse the situation, then the great music game before the market will likely be transferred to the hands of EA.
