[PS2] Guitar Hero

The game's a breeze if you play music already. Being a piano and trumpet player, I just picked up this game last week, and finished it on Expert today... I have yet to 5 star all the songs, so hopefully it will last me another week.

Anyone else pick up this game? I think it's great, and it makes me want to pick up and play a real guitar (which I will definitely do in the coming months).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I haven't read about a sequel, but I think there will almost definitely be one considering the fairly obvious success of the game. Here's hoping I won't have to buy a new guitar for it.

How ya doing, buddy?

It definitely helps a little at least, I mean, I read that some people have trouble using their pinky to press the Blue and Orange button, while for me there was almost no problem at all from the get go. The hardest technique for me to learn was actually alternate strumming, it's completely new to me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sigh. Eventually I'll get the hang of power-ons/pull-offs...I hope.

You should be able to down-strum every song except Cowboys from Hell & Bark at the Moon, as that's what I did on my first play through. However, if you want to get those 5 stars on Expert mode, alternate strumming helps A LOT for maintaining a good rhythm.

On the other hand DDR is feet...
DDR is probaly the only game that can help you out in life.

It's a really fun game, and should last you quite awhile. Even after you beat it on Expert mode, you will still want to get 5 stars on all of them. You'll also probably want to get 5 stars on all the Hard mode songs, as some play noticeably differently than Expert, so it's like playing a different song.

There are also 17 bonus tracks, though most cannot hold a candle to the main 30 songs, some are still pretty good.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

Most amazing jew boots

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

FELIPE NO

The quality of all the songs seemed pretty low, I'm almost certain that they'll all be plenty better ingame.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
