When Guitar Hero: On Tour (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/03/19/at-last-guitar-hero-on-tour-now-with-wacky-peripheral/) was announced, this blogger was completely on board (assuming, of course, that it would be lefty-friendly). After a partial track list was revealed (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/04/30/guitar-hero-track-listing-revealed-ranges-from-great-to-maroon/), though, all interest faded away faster than you could say, "Ick."
If you like the track list for the game, that's all well and good, but such things can't ever suit everyone's tastes. That got us to wondering, though, how important track lists are when it comes to purchasing rhythm games. Would you turn down the next Guitar Hero or Rock Band just because the songs weren't up to par, even if you love the gameplay? Or does gameplay trump even the most annoying of tunes? Also, do standards differ for games like EBA and Ouendan (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/02/17/ds-daily-eba-or-ouendan/)?
