Have had the game for a couple months and can finally complete Cowboys From Hell, Bark at the Moon, and Cheat the Church on expert with some consistency.

Best music game ever... someone needs to sync karaoke revolution, guitar heroes, and DDR one day. would be some spectacle to watch.

They did, and I have it. The Miralce Keyboard system for SNES

It's worth a look.


Anyway, has anyone seen this? There's a secret song in this game called Tripolette that is only unlockable through Action Replay, and someone posted a video of them playing it. It's FUCKING INSANE.

EDIT - CORRECT LINK

Enjoy that.

Sounds interesting...I'd love to see that video.

Ah fuck, i posted the wrong link.

There it is!!

Guitar Hero 2 announced! :D

And I'm starting to chip at the other songs on the Score Hero list.

Double Post:
Is he using the guitar in that video? If so...wha.

Man, I love this game. I don't have it, but my boyfriends cousin does.

Now, when i hear those song i imagine the game

He's no doubt using the guitar, it's much better than the gamepad once you get a hang of it. The main riff looks beatable, but that solo.... shit... You'd have to memorize it, cause I can't imagine anyone playing that while actually reading it.

Trippolette should have been in the selection originally...who wants to go buy a Gameshark just for that ><

Hell, I already have an Action Replay. This is good for me then.

[edit] Alright, I booted up my Action Replay and got the code down to play *Trippolette. That's * is there, but it's a nice star...

Anyway, it's pretty easy on Medium, but it will begin to kill you on Hard. Especially during all those runs. And if you have no control with your pinky and the orange key, you're dead. >_<

*Trippolette replaces Guitar Hero in the song list.

Dammit, my PS2 won't read my CodeBreaker anymore :(

I'm slowly starting to get close to perfect on Bark at the Moon Medium. The dealbreaker has been the part at the end of the bridge with the hammer-ons.

Speaking of HOs, they're totally useless. I can strum the notes usually and I just can't get myself to practice hammer-ons.

I can see hammer-ons coming in handy at some point, but I think pull-offs aren't worth the trouble. Except maybe in the Expert "Bark at the Moon" solo...you kinda have to master both in order to do it right.

Some GHII songs announced:

* "Arterial Black" by Drist
* "Psychobilly Freakout" by The Reverend Horton Heat
* "Strutter" by Kiss
* "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath
* "Who Was in My Room Last Night" by The Butthole Surfers
* "You Really Got Me" by the Kinks, as performed by Van Halen
* "YYZ" by Rush

Looks ok so far, I'll be more interested when they release the full list though.

I hope this 2nd release has Speed Mods ^_^

Or does the 1st game have speed mods?

(I was buying the RHCP CD and there were 2 guys
playing GH. Not sure what song because i couldn't
hear it, but the scrolling speed was rather fast.
Maybe it was the song though~)

RHCP has "Higher Ground" on Guitar Hero.

There are no "speed mods" for GH...the scrolling speed increases as you get into the higher difficulties, as does the number of notes.

Yea, that's what i noticed when playing..

maybe it was just me though, but it really did look like
the song was scrolling faster than it normally does.

Yea higher difficulty=faster scrolling...Kinda suprised they're releasing GH2 so soon...surprised..but excited!

But its good because it has huge popularity unlike DDR which lost its huge main popularity..a while ago...to me anyways

Yea i just expected that they were going to release some of those "expansion pack" things that were mentioned first...Of course I'm very happy they're releasing 2 so soon dont get me wrong =D...Those new multiplayer features sound nice(different versions of guitar to play like bass or lead)..eager to hear of what's new in single player.

Having Frequency/Amplitude-style multiplayer in Guitar Hero would be so friggin' hot.

Leave the Amplitude gameplay for Amplitude 2 please. :)

I really hope they are going to put a lot of 3 button chords!

From the gamespot coverage at E3, the guy said 3 button
chords weren't too present but usually were played to finish
up a song. He was playing in Hard i think, so here's hoping
to some really technical expert charts ^____^

I've been pretty addicted to this game as of late.

I've played through every difficulty of career mode, and I've been able to beat everything EXCEPT Cowboys from Hell and Bark at the Moon on Expert.

As a guitar player I think Cowboys from Hell on Expert is more difficult than actually playing the song on guitar :guitarist:

The things I have the most difficulty with are long, fast, repeated rhythms, and the solos (which for the most part, I breeze by with the star power I've saved up) Some parts of the solos simply move too fast for me to even comprehend.

For the most part, on Medium, I would get low to high 90s in notes hit, mid 80s to mid 90s in hard, and mid 70s to mid 90s on expert.

What's with the focus on "Boston Rock" in the bonus songs? I see that mentioned alot in the loading screens for some of them. Of the bonus songs, I really like Cheat on the Church. Does anyone know if there is any Graveyard BBQ stuff floating about? I'd like to hear some of thier stuff.

I actually like alot of the covers in the featured songs better than the originals. Mostly the classic rock stuff, as the guitar becomes much more...hard rock sounding, especially stuff like Crossroads and Spanish Castle Magic. Seeing as how the game only features Gibson Guitars, I wonder if the covers were made using only Gibsons as well (which would impact the sound in Crossroads, for example, because Clapton uses Fenders).

My friend suggested a neat feature I'd like to see implimented, which is the ability to remove vocals from a song. I like most of the songs, but some I would like more without the singing. I find alot of the metal and classic rock singers are pretty good, but for the modern rock ones (Stellar for example), the singers sound kind of whiny and emo. (moreso than the original)

Overall, I think this is a really enjoyable game. It works for alot of skill levels, like my friend who only plays on easy for fun, so he can hear the song and get 100%, whereas I would play on hard or expert for leisure. I would totally like to see lots more sequels of this game released. Each with a different genre would be cool, like metal for one, classic rock for another, modern rock, etc. :edgarrock:

Yea I'd like to see the use of 3 note chords more often. They've gotta add some variation to the note types/combinations for the sequel so dont see why they wouldn't do this. Ah well guess we'll wait and see.
