Guitar Hero 2
 

Oh come now, I can't be the only one playing it. Got it for Christmas :love:

Having never played the original it took me a little while to get the hang of it but yesterday I blitzed easy, 90%+ on every song first try (don't think I five starred all of them though, will have to check). Tried the first few on medium, not bad but will take practice. I spent countless tries trying to 100% Shout at the Devil on easy but I kept fucking up :mad:

Oh, and bought two of the bonus songs. Jordan is freakin insane, even on medium, and will take months if not years for me to get. Thunderhorse, however...:naughty: :heart:

Oh, forgot, fave tracks so far

John The Fisherman
Jessica
Madhouse
Them Bones
Woman (medium or above)
Message In A Bottle (")
Who Was In My Room Last Night
Trippin on a Hole In A Paper Heart
Rock This Town

Well my friend had the first one so that's when I started my training and graduated from easy to medium. Then he got the second one so I played that whenever I got the chance.

Now I can't play on easy cause it bores me. I can play on medium and I cleared every song on the list. Some of them I can't stand. Hard I can't really get the hang of yet but my favorites are

Sweet Child O Mine
Hangar 18
Freebird
Killing the Name
Less talk more Rokk

For some reason I still can't understand how some people can play on easy and think of it as a challenge. I guess it's just me. I'm finally gettin my own copy for Christmas though which will be good. I'll master Hard. My friend is mastering expert and has just about every song done. Including Hangar 18

I am a huge Guitar Hero fan. I beat it on hard within a week of getting it, then I kind of stopped playing. I got a Wii and haven't played since.

I loved the first one but the 2nd one just didn't keep me hooked like the first one did. I beat the first 20 levels or so but I wasn't really loving the songs so I stopped playing.

I unlocked a few songs that I did like though, namely Jordan, Six, and The Light That Blinds.

I'm trying to beat Hangar 18 on expert :(

I'm waiting for it to come out on 360, can't wait though

I can't even beat the first set of tunes on medium :'(

Wrong.

You are me and I claim my £5.

I fail at 87%ish, can do the very start with my eyes closed now :(

Six
Thunderhorse
'Wayward Son

...Some others I forget now. I love the game. Got a second guitar when I was sold on the concept. Some songs are just fun to play, others good for the challenge. Can't wait till I get good enough for Hard.

Unless you're spying on me you have no idea how bad I am at that song

Practice mode, go from Slowest to Slower and so on until you get a song down. That's how I got better on Six among others.

The highest I've gotten is 92 I think.... Besides that, it's always 87%. WHen I got higher, I used Star power to get through it, and still died real quick afterwards...

Thank god the intro is somewhat fun to play IMO.

Also, I've beaten it, but Rock this Town on Expert is also a bitch.

I beat the game on medium, and am working on hard now. Big jump in difficulty.

Also, best song = TROGDOR.

LOL not really, you just have to adjust to reaching for the orange button, after that its cake.

Working on hard right now...had a couple probs with Woman, Who Was in My Room Last Night? and right now Freya.

Woman, you've got me Woman, you got me feel Woman, you've got me feeling of love

Window, you're talkin to me, see right thru me, you've got me feeling of love

Got it for PS2 when it came out, completed easy and medium then haven't really touched it, will still pick up the 360 version when it comes out though, probably play it more then.

I don't need to know how good or bad you are at a song. I know you'll get better at the game in general. It is inevitable.

got it for xmas on medium right now

fun times

Play Six on Expert, then on Hard; and watch how your skills on Med turn out.

Recently I owned Heart Shaped Box with a 99% on Med.

Expert isn't that different from Hard (Hard is a shift from Med), it stresses timing more than the others. Whereas Hard Mode adds the Orange Button and more accurate notes.

K look, I don't even know what happened, but I was ON FIRE tonight. Like I had not touched this game in about a monthe cuz I couldn't get passed Heart Shaped Box on medium, but tonight I ANNIHILATED medium. Like it was amazing. I love my self right now.

Yeah, that happens a lot. Like I'll pick it up, and for some reason, I can do no wrong.

Also ,I finally beat Hangar 18!!!!




Now I just have to beat Free Bird on Expert :( :(

The power of Megadeth is unparalleled

Shit, that is a nice controller

< Latest person to get his ass kicked by Hangar 18 btw

Any word on the cost an "additional songs" for the 360 version?

Saw that the other day, cant wait for it to come out as I'll play it more. saying that, I 100% Freebird on my last session on it, was on medium though :-\

I 5*'ed Jordan and Thunderhorse on Hard earlier. I felt chuffed.

What's the new songs for the 360 version?

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12533/...360-Specifics/

Tomorrow, RedOctane will be making a formal announcement to offer up some key details about the forthcoming Xbox 360 release of Guitar Hero II. Among them is the confirmation of a March 2007 ship date.

The press release will indicate “over 70 finger-melting tracks,” though a person close to the company told TeamXbox that the game will include 74 on-disc songs—the 64 tunes that made up the PlayStation 2 Guitar Hero II song list, as well as 10 more that are exclusive to the Xbox 360 game. RedOctane’s announcement is expected to reveal five of them (and the artists that made them famous):


Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper)
Dead! (My Chemical Romance)
Hush (Deep Purple)
Life Wasted (Pearl Jam)
Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo (Rick Derringer)


TeamXbox was also told that three of the remaining five exclusives are Possum Kingdom (Toadies), Salvation (Rancid) and The Trooper (Iron Maiden), all of which will be part of the main gameplay. The remaining two are currently unannounced, though they will only be unlockable through gameplay. Additionally, Dead! and Possum Kingdom will be “master tracks,” meaning that they’ll be the respective bands’ original recordings, rather than the studio remakes that make up the rest of the tunes in the game.

The other key section of the announcement will revolve around plans for downloadable content through Xbox Live. While RedOctane’s announcement won’t provide details on what will be offered—beyond stating it’ll include “achievement points, download themes, picture packs, and, most importantly, new songs through Xbox Live Marketplace”—TeamXbox was told that the publisher expects to make a batch of songs available on the day that the game hits stores, so players can immediately expand the playable song list. A RedOctane spokesperson stated that he expects the company to announce aspects about the first batch of downloadable tunes some time in February.

(As we indicated in our November Guitar Hero II preview, the rumor is that the first downloadable songs will give Xbox 360 players a chance to catch up on the franchise by offering the song list from the first Guitar Hero game. However, a RedOctane spokesperson said that the contents of the first downloadable offerings haven’t been nailed down yet, so for now it all remains something to speculate on.)

We were assured that, as you’d expect, Guitar Hero II will have a standard offering of achievements through gameplay, which we assume will comprise 1,000 Gamerscore points. Also, the game will include online leaderboards, so players can “track their high scores and share bragging rights with their friends and other top rock gods.” A RedOctane spokesperson said that leaderboards will likely be set up for weekly and monthly stat tracking, though more details will follow in that regard before the game ships.

Finally, check out the new screenshots that will accompany tomorrow’s press release, which reveal how detailed (and improved over previous releases) the HD graphics will be in the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II.

Awesome :cool:

What, I want to rock The Trooper.

I'm so glad I have a 360 :heart:

FUCK I gotta get a 360, if only to play Dead!.

Loads of faggots are spazzing out on gamefaqs/gamespot about MCR, but I dont see whats so bad about them. Dead! is a decent enough song and should be pretty great to play.

Now I just want a release date then I will be totally happy.

I think I heard March 16 somewhere.

Freakin awesome.

I want "Transformers" the Movie theme by Lion PLEASE.

That's just me, I guess. Also:

"Master of Puppets" or atleast "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Seeing metallica on this game will never happen. Get over it , please.

5 frets one string n a whammy bar...pretty simple so much hype around this game. i guess it is so popular because it lets people who suck at guitar seem like they are good? good strategy

I guess the reason Gears of War is so popular is that it lets people who can't shoot a gun seem like they can?

Or racer games because people who can't drive for shit can seem like champions?
