Anyways, like I said there, it is by far the best game I have played for the Wii. What are your thoughts?

Best Released, far from. Neversoft dropped the ball with the lack of DLC, no extra guitars within two weeks of release, and no stereo/surround sound

Nice nickname by the way.

As for the game: I was expecting at least stereo considering it says Dolby ProLogic II. I was expecting something along the lines of DLC (I at least want the three boss battles, especially "Devil"). Maybe they could sell us a CD of the DLC to download to our Wii until we get online abilities. Also, I can't unlock any of the co-op stuff because none of my friends want to play on a wiimote only. As for faceplates, where have you found ones for the wii-tar

But if you want the songs, why don't you just download them off iTunes, or something. And I found like 30 face-plates for the Wiitar at the Best Buy near me.

Do you, like, work for Activision or something? Is it your job to go on message boards and attempt to placate angry Wii players of the game?
Activision failed to release extra guitars for the game. Faceplates are NO substitute for extra controllers.
Activision failed to provide sound technology that is advertised on the box. False advertising is generally frowned upon, no matter how trivial the feature may be.
Considering that the Wii is the market leader, it's absolutely ridiculous that we have to put up with all this.
(Oh, and how is downloading songs off iTunes a replacement for playing new songs in the game? I really don't follow that logic at all.)

You seem to be pretty negative about the game though. And no, I don't work for Activision, however much I do want to.

So that's what all those logos are for when you power up the game. I was wondering why you had to press the green button 12 times just to start the game.

I don't know if you're joking or not vudu, but please stop. I've gone through this before.

Apparently you haven't been in a real band before. That is the way it usually works. The singer always sucks, and thinks they run the world. Seems a pretty accurate portrayal to me.

and no, i am not in a band, but probly will be soon. i play drums and guitar.

System updates are for the Wii firmware only, rather than the 360's updates which cover the firmware and games (sup hard drive).
If the bug is in the game itself, then it chances of it being fixed without a recall are slim. But I haven't heard anything official so stay tuned.

From what I have been reading it looks like they are going to be reissuing discs to anyone who wants to replace their mono sound discs. Not sure when this is officially happening but soon I'm sure. I still honestly can't believe this problem made it all the way to production before anyone noticed it. It's a game BASED ON MUSIC, how the hell does that happen?

I'm impressed with Activision's dedication to the Wii version with the replacement copies to fix the mono problem and the continued insistence that DLC is coming; as someone who games almost exclusively on Nintendo platforms I'm not used to third-party publishers working that hard on my games.

There's supposed to be a lot less notes to play but the timing requirement is more stringent. Personally, the current way sounds more fun, so if they do port it over I hope they'd revamp the game play.
If they port GH 1 and 2, I'm pretty certain they would have no choice but to revamp the game play (though I don't like the GH3 gameplay). They already spent the time rewriting the GH engine, so I'm sure they would just use the GH3 code base and reproduce the original songs in the new engine. Probably a fairly easy task, but I'm not sure of the legal end to the whole thing and if they could even use the data found in the earlier GH games because that may belong to someone else. I think just the name/concept was bought, which would mean they would need to get the master tracks for all the songs in GH 1 and 2 and create a new note pattern when they port those songs over.
