Green Day: Rock Band vs Guitar Hero World Tour
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Green Day: Rock Band lets players jam to the iconic punk rock catalog of Green Day using guitar, bass, drums, and vocal controllers. Experience the band's performances in virtual venues designed for an immersive concert feel. The game supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and lets you export the full tracklist to other Rock Band titles (except The Beatles: Rock Band).

The game delivers a concert‑style experience across PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, and PlayStation 2, with split‑screen multiplayer for up to four players.
