[PS2] Guitar Hero

Figured I'd make this thread because I absolutely love this game. It's my favorite music game because it caters to my style of music, and the controller rocks.

Feel free to post your accomplishments, comments, and any news on a sequel :P

I've been playing the game since Christmas, and I'm in love with it. I try to play an hour or two a day and I consider myself fairly decent (I can 5-star most of the songs on expert, except 4 non bonus, and maybe 3-4 bonus).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hard is too hard for me after the first 5 songs. I learned to love Bark at the Moon thanks to this game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Fun game. First time I played it, I sucked though. Although I don't own a PS2, it's a fairly fun game.

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

Yeah, I've played it also. I've been meaning to get it. But they booted it up $10 from the original release price. I'll wait until it drops to get the game.

For not owning it, i'm not too bad either. I could play most songs in Hard and the majority on Medium.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Got this game for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and its damna awesome. I've started Expert and gotten almost all 5 star ratings on hard...with the exception of some of the tougher ones. Great game here..hopefully a sequel comes out with a lot more songs/unlockables though.

I did here somewhere that a sequel was being worked on..even though it wasn't officially announced..in an interview maybe? I forget but does anyone else know about a possible sequel?

How ya doing, buddy?

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).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I love Guitar Hero. Best 80 dollar risk I'e ever taken (had I hated it, I could have netted around 120-130 bucks off eBay for it at the time).

I'm stuck on Expert, cant do Bark at the Moon (fail @95% or so each time) or Cowboys from Hell (fail at either 5%, 20% or 60%). I've never played any musical instrument longer than a week before, but man, Guitar Hero is fun.

I'm trying to hunt down the soundtrack (if one exists). Especially the song "Guitar Hero" (which, just a hunch, I think was created just for this game..lol. the Lyrics are effing hilarious). Great selection of music, fun as heck to play.

Gotta love it.

FELIPE NO

Threads merged, oohh weeee hooo oh uumf yeah heee!

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

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?

Some EGM interview with the Guitar Hero dev's said that they are making plans for a sequel (they even talked about a bigger budget for more licensed music. Imagine "Stairway to Heaven"....*drools*).

Granted, this was the same interview in which the dev's answered the burning question:
Why doesnt the Guitar Hero Controller have a flamethrower.

......yeh.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Get ready to shred even more faces by mid 2007.

FUCKING AWESOME!!! 5 OR 6 GAMES WITHIN A YEAR? JESUS CHRIST! ORGASM!

ok, i'm done... sorry, you don't even know how much i'm on cloud-nine right now after reading that.


Amazing.

I love music games but I've never been able to get into the guitar ones. That includes both Guitar Freaks and Guitar Heroes. It really sucks, because Heroes is definitely a sweet game and is EXACTLY what state-side music games should be.

...I just don't like handling the guitar controller, I guess. -_-;;

I was speaking idiomatically.

I love Guitar Hero. I did the whole Red Octane preorder and It came the day I guess it was supposed to be shipped. That was cool and I've always been into this game. I loved how they managed to fit Freezepop into the mix too.

Let's hope they throw in more Genres this time around ^_^
Looking very much forward to this!

My other wish would be a BETTER controller or some sort
of deluxe version of the controller... I mean the controller that
comes with it works... but it's just really flimsy ^_^''

FELIPE NO

Speaking of which, has anyone's controller malfunctioned or the like? My friend's controller completely started flipping out the other day (for some reason, the "START" button kept registering even when it wasn't pressed).

When the original came out, I said in my blog that Harmonix could release 20 sequels a year and I wouldn't mind. Well. . Six is a start.

I'll more than likely skip over the Guitar Hero Country stuff, but I can't wait to find out what else is planned.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

6 versions in a year huh. Guess I'll have to get used to fingering.

Wait, wait...got a better one.

This is the most fingering I'll be doing this year, I'm sure.

Well there are SOME pretty jammin' country music songs out there.
Who knows, maybe they'll even manage to sneak a Johnny Cash song in.

Double Post:
PS - Better than syncing Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz?

I'd buy it for Cash.

Also, Dueling Banjos, anyone?

I wonder if they'll make a "Guitar Hero IIDX"

5 frets on top, and 5 more on the bottom of the board just for
solos!

That'll be pretty sweet ^_^

I'm pretty excited to hear that. I'm hoping for all of them to be as good as this one. I can see having the big 80's and 90's hair bands for one game, Metallica and all things heavy for another game, Classic Rock ala the Stones, Country making up a game, and god help us all, Nu-metal to satistfy all the young punks out there

And yes, Dueling Banjos would rock.

Exactly. I honestly could not care less about some of these songs if I heard them on the radio, but the studio mixing done in this game is excellent. Bringing the guitar more into the front and in some cases improvising a bit over the original has really endeared me to the in-game versions, and even made me respect the originals, because it forced me to listen a lot more closely, and recognize things I had never noticed before.

I'm not even that far, really (Infected on hard is giving me trouble), but this game is made of delicious.

FELIPE NO

i just picked this up for $60 CAD, and i can't say i've ever played a better music game. it's just perfect. and it deserves a design award for the box too.

My axe, custom decal:



How ya doing, buddy?

This game is AWESOME. I picked up a used copy (tilt sensor doesn't work) dirt cheap, something like $31 bucks, and it was totally worth it. Just got to Hard, I really need to practice hitting the Orange fret now =/. Also, anybody have any reccomendations for songs to practice pull-offs? I've got Hammer-ons down okay, but I can't do pull-offs if my life depended on it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
