Topic: Guitar Hero

[raptorspike]

Has anyone played this game? it's fun as hell. I am not coordinated enough to play DDR, so this was great for me. I already play guitar, so this was easy to pick up. Does any one else wish this to come to GC??

 Game of the Year

I've barley picked up a guitar in my life-time, but Guitar Hero is accessible from the get-go. I've played at various Best-Buys while I was waiting to try out the 360. Except I never got around to that, and just kept jammin' to "Iron Man"....

This is in-between Donkey Konga and DDR in terms of difficulty. It takes a while  to get the fingering down, but when you do, it is fantastic.

I smell a new franchise here. Maybe if Nintendo fans are good, we'll see a rev version? In the meantime, give this game a whirl.

i friggin love it.. i'm uncoordinated, too, so finally i can feel like I'm rockin out

you got another thing comin!

[foolish03]

yeah i bought a ps2 just for this game alone.  Its that good.

You think Guitar Hero rocks, you should invest in a Japanese (or modded) PS2 and pick up Drum Mania and Guitar Freaks. I don't own a PS2 so I could be a little off on how they are named exactly (I just play it with my cousin). But you can play drums and two guitars at the same time. AND, one guitar can do the bass lines. Its awesome multiplayer stuff.

Its just a shame that the guitar for Guitar freaks doesn't work with Guitar Hero.

I'm gonna pick it up by the new year and will post a trip report

Trip report: awesome

I got it (on Christmas!) and I'm down to beating the last three face-melters on Expert. I recommend that pretty much everyone buy this game.

I agree: Guitar Hero is the pwnage. This may shock some, but I am a kind of shy, introverted kind of guy. I know, a guy who posts on video game forums, who would have thought. Anyways, after nailing my first solo, I could not help but get up and start headbanging and dancing around the room and doing many other things that I would never do under normal conditions. It's pricetag is a bit steep, but it's still a friggin bargain. Play it if you have ever listened to a rock and roll song and said "that's a good song."

Something about the organization of these songs seems wrong. I am slightly disappointed over no AC/DC and no Metallica. Plus I wish Jimmy Page woud give in and let us have some Zeppelin.

[blackfootsteps]

Wow Alice in Chains, GnR and Nirvana. Yeah I'll probably break down and get this. However I may wait and see if the 360 / Wii get anything over and above the PS2 version.

[Spak-Spang]

I am curious what the Wii (or IF) will be like.  I tried to figure a way of creating the game without the purchase of a guitar, and couldn't.  So I thought placing the controller somewhere on the Guitar would atleast let you move the guitar freely in the game...that could be cool.

Them Bones - Alice in Chains

Paging all Doom fans to this thread

[raptorspike]

OK, anyone have any ideas as to what the Wii controller should look like for Guitar Hero II? I mean, the PS2 has the SG and Flying V, the 360 is going to have the Explorer. If we continue with gibson, i think that the Wii should have a LP. If we go other guitar makers, maybe a Strat or a Tele

[WuTangTurtle]

Yeah instead of getting a PS3, im gonna save up some money and purchase a PS2 with Guitar Heroes, Katamari, God of War, and about a list of 10-15 RPGs (seriously, oh and none of which will include FF crap).
