Let's Talk About Guitar Hero!!! PS2 & Xbox 360 versions!

[den68]

Did anyone else pick up the game tonight? I did. Going to Rock Hard.

I did. I'm already 25 songs through hard. I also won my challenges against Tom Morello and Slash, though I'm not exactly sure how.

I have the PS2 version. I like that the guitar is wireless but it feels different. After muddling though a few songs and only passing with 3 stars I plugged in the GH2 guitar and proceeded to 5 star 6 of the next 8 I played. I guess I'll have to get used to the feel of it.

I decided to pick it up as well. Got through 27 of 42 on Hard.

I like the new wireless guitar. Got the Best Buy deal with the free Sex Pistols faceplate.

The seems that the game is a little more forgiving this time around when it comes to scoring. For example, there was a song that I got 93% on but still got a 5-star rating? Must've hit star power just right or something.

It looks like there's 5 characters to unlock in the Store. I've figure out 4 of the 5, but haven't figured out the last one yet. Must be another boss battle somewhere down the road.

The stars on Guitar Hero are based around your total score, not so much the note percentage you get.  If you could find a way to hit 100,000 points but only hit 75% of the notes, you could get 5 stars.  And you are right, there is one more battle before the end, but I'm going to save it as a surprise because it is really well done. 

I beat GH3 on hard last night.  I 5 starred most of the songs, but I played yesterday morning and only three starred a bunch of the songs in the 3rd to last tier.  I just can't play it in the morning.  Oddly enough, on the last set of songs Raining Blood is the first song you are supposed to play and that is the only one out of the group that I had trouble with.  It is retardedly hard.

Right now I'm stuck on The Metal from Tenacious D on Hard. Having some trouble with the main riff. Once I get past that I think I'll be able to get through the song ok.

Also attempted Expert last night. Got through 4 songs and failed the 1st encore.

I either forgot or didn't know Slayer was on GHIII. I most go get it now.

Anyone want to try out online mode (on the 360 version)? I wanted to beat single player before I tried it. I'm on the last boss battle on medium and about half way through hard. I'll be online at various times throughout the night.

I've just got Raining Blood and One to beat on hard before the final battle.

[phoenix1967]

Decided to go for $$$ to unlock all the characters, so I played on Medium yesterday and 5-starred 35 of 37 songs (only missed on CoP and 1 other one); on the last set now. Strangely enough, dropping back to Medium seemed to help my skill with hammer-ons and pull-offs.

Finally got past The Metal on Hard and beat Pride and Joy. 2 sets to go. Since I've never heard of any of the songs on the next to last set, I may be there awhile. 

Beat the 1st set on Expert.

[den68]

I guess I should probably play medium too. I don't really want too.

[phoenix1967]

^Maybe Allison's ready for some co-op on Medium?

for those that don't read the front page, some guy did a controller mod where he modded a real Gibson electric guitar to work as a Guitar Hero controller.

Check it out

^500th post

Yay Modded Controller!

[OatBob]

hehe, I like the mods.

Yay 500.  In over a year I matched General Tynstar's bi-monthly quota.  That must be some sort of accomplishment.
