ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Played this quite a bit at my friend's house the other day and, while they didn't do anything to mess it up, I think it pales in comparison to Rock Band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 I hate wireless controllers. At least I'm going to assume that's the reason. (Although the problems happened in store set ups as well, not 100% on whether those are wireless too or not though) The problem I've noticed is that sometimes, notes just don't seem to register. It's like the calibrations off, but considering I hit majority of the notes in the song that's not the problem. It's just one of those things where you know for a fact you hit the note at the correct time, but all of a sudden the streak ends and you're like WTF?

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 I hate Crazy Train. The opening, no problem. The fucking playing during the verse, a massive pain. The only other song I can't get down besides Crazy Train is Sweet Home Alabama live, for the same damn reason. I love this game though more than Rock Band 2, which I don't why I just didn't like in the demos I played. I guess later I can still get Rock Band 2 for the songs thanks to the GH controller working but eh, so far not interested. But the adrenaline rush from hitting one of the songs 100% is pretty sweet, especially if it's a song you like. Can't wait for the Guitar Hero: Metallica game. Need to play me some Enter Sandman and Sad but True. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Since I apparently hate variety in my video games, I'm thinking I might trade one of the various titles I got in December for this. I doubt I'll play it as much as Rock Band 2, but oh well. I play Guitar Hero III once in a while, even though it makes me feel dirty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just John 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Finally beat BYOB to discover they put "Pull Me Under" by Dream Theater in the game and I didn't even know it. That made my day, although now I'm having some trouble with Satch Boogie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 It's so hard to ace the vocals in this game. On Rock Band 2, I nailed PDA and Testify with 98% and 100% on medium and on my first try. On GH, I can't get past an 85% on two of my favorite songs ever, One Armed Scissor and Obstacle 1. Holy shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 A big bump for this as i'm finally able to afford the game. Well, I traded in a load of games, but it was worth it. I've only played the PS2 version at my girlfriends house, so it's gonna be cool having the PS3 version for myself. Can't get it until Thursday as she picked it up for me, though. I've bumped this as I dont want to lose it & I'll have more questions about downloads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 I'm psyched about it coming out. They said they made the game more difficult and aimed it at the hardcore players. They even have an expert plus mode where you can play the drums with 2 foot pedals. The tracklist is pretty crazy. I was looking at it yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Yeah, same here. I'm especially looking forward to the inclusion of Thin Lizzy's 'The Boys Are Back In Town' along with the Metallica tracks, as it's one of my favourite songs ever. Enter Sandman was just made for this sort of game. And who'd have thought we'd ever see a wrestlers entrance theme on a Guitar Hero game! Two no less, with Sting's not so shabby 'Seek and Destroy' appearing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I have it, Franchise. I just think GH/Rock Band games get boring after the first few days so I don't play it anymore. If I see you on one day, I'll play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 It's all in the practising my friend. A week ago, I could only just hit 5 silver stars on easy, now I have to really not be concentrating to not hit them on Medium. Keep playing (I find playing against people online is best as you're playing a genuine challenge) and you find yourself getting better without realising. Fingers bastard hurt though after a 900+ streak on a Tool song earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the PS3 first came out when I was working in Gamestation, about 90% of the people who bought one asked when FIFA or any football game was coming out. They didn't care about any of the other titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
