Guitar Compatibility: Guitar Hero II and III, Rock Band

Rock Band Stratocaster - Image 1With the imminent release of both Harmonix's Rock Band (for PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360) and Activision's Guitar Hero III coming up (for the Wii, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360), fans of the console guitar-strumming games who already own a guitar controller should be wondering if their trusty guitar will work with the two new titles.

Thankfully IGN was kind enough to check the compatibility of the three existing controllers: Guitar Hero II's X-Plorer, Guitar Hero III's Les Paul, and Rock Band's Stratocaster. With the exception of the Stratocaster, all three guitars can be used interchangeably for all three games.

However, here's the (understandable) catch: Both Guitar Hero II and III's guitars can be used for Rock Band, but they cannot activate any of Rock Band's special effects. On the other hand, Rock Band's Stratocaster sadly cannot be used for either Guitar Hero II or III.

Why is it that Rock Band's Stratocaster does not return the compatibility favor? In any case, let's just enjoy the upcoming guitar titles. Stay tuned for more updates!
