Here Today... Gone To Hell!

How many of you play Guitar Hero I or II? What level do you play on? Whats your fav song?

ive completed number 1 now ive just got 2, ive completed the Easy & Medium levels on it already 5 songs into Hard

Im real interested in that thing. Does it teach you how to play guitar or is it just a game? I see that Sweet Child is on there! Im really thinkg about getting it

Just a game. Not real guitar. Fun as hell though. You'd enjoy it.

Im about 20 songs into expert.. starting to get too hard..  :no:

Most fun game ever.

Been playing GH2 and i love 'Message in a bottle' and 'Killing in the name' gotta unlock sweet child yet.

Playing when drunk is even better

just compleated hard, onto Expert now. I though Free Bird would be hard but its quite easy

Freebird is fairly easy on Hard, but significantly harder on expert. Also, Jordan (bonus song) by Buckethead is fairly easy on hard, but almost impossible on expert. I can beat all songs on expert on Guitar Hero II except for Jordan.

Freya is kickin' my ass on hard right now!

i have played, and i have been owned.

i always try to improvise  :rant:

^ never improvise!

I got it on Wednesday.

SO MUCH FUN!

Jacko, wanna battle?  :hihi:

Come over early on the 17th and we'll duke it out. I'll kill you son!

I have guitar hero 1.

I've beat it on Easy, Medium, and Hard.   Still working on Expert (I've only had it a few months...and my time to play is limited).  Long layoffs, I find, mean I have to replay the game on Hard to get my timing back to even attempt new songs on Expert.

I'm hoping GH2 is in my stocking come X-mas.

:)

Yes you will.

But we have a GUNS pre-party to attend boy.

I played guitar hero 2 at best buy the other day, it was fun. i was playing war pigs. my geuss it was on the easy setting.

I used to play guitar freaks on PSone long time ago. its very fun.
i've never played guitar hero. is it have the same button setting just like guitar freaks or not?
sori bout my english.

Guitar Hero has 5 buttons. I believe that Guitar Freaks has 3 button (Is that correct?).

How do you play this game? I seen the guitar has like 5 colored buttons on the neck of the guitar, and a few buttons down on the body of the guitar. Do you have to follow on screen instructions or something like that?

yea,? you have to press the buttons and move the switch up and down like your playin a guitar- the color notes appear on the screen as you should press them...? then the whammy bar is there to make cool effects...? it goes? wAAwaaAAAWAAaaa-? ?i got all into this game once and i smashed the controller when i was done playing - cobain style i even kicked over my tv

So its basically like a "simon says" kinda game? That reminds me of those dumb "Dance Revolution" games.

Similar concept, better execution (IMHO) because, lets face it, it's a freaking guitar and not a pad you have to jump around on. :)

I was playing GH2 during my lunch break (I work at HMV) on Saturday

I'm rubbish at it! ;D

Obviously my fav song on it is SCOM but my fav to play is Jordan on medium/hard. That song is so much fun to play.


 :peace:

just got mine today  : ok:

how do you use the oarnge button... :hihi: seriously i finished medium and now i went to hard and cant even do 1 song all the way through :-\ do you have to just teach yourself to use it? or is there any helpful hints on getting to the 5th button :(

^ you've just got to learn to do it  :hihi:

it was hard for me at first but now im used to it

it gives me a bad wrist haha

GH2 is a fukin awesome game. love SCOM on there. i also like free as a bird surrender n carry on wayward son.

Beaten easy n medium and dun 28 songs on hard.  :hihi:


                                                                                                           : ok: izzyrose :peace:
                                                                                                                         :beer:

I beat medium, and then I skipped to expert - i got through like 3 songs so far. :hihi:

I beat expert!

And I've gotten all 5 stars on Hard mode!  : ok:

I can't touch expert.  It's just too fast for me to keep up on.

I'm working my way through 5 starring Hard (just did SCOM the other day) now...  Once I get the whole level 5 starred, I'll see if I can spend some  more time with expert and see if I can do it.

Personally, my advice would be this...

If you can do Hard with 5 stars on every song, then Expert is easy as pie.

I beat Expert once... my game got erased.. I was fed up with it for awhile... chose to do hard mode with 5 stars only. Then went back and did Expert.

Expert was much easier the second time through.

Getting 5 stars on hard will build your skills up quite alot.

I'm hoping thats the case.

With hard, I got to the point where I could make a quick mistake and catch right back up (this is before my current "5 star" project).

With expert, one mistake and it's pretty much over for me.  It's just too fast (right now) for me to catch up.  I'm sure with some more, and some continuous, time on that mode it'll get better.  But right now, I'm lucky if I can get through the early songs, on expert, at all.  Expert seems SOOO much harder than hard, to me.....much harder than the jump from medium to hard.

i mangaged to get 11 songs 5 stars on medium and i got 8 with 3 stars...the rest are 4 stars


surrender is a fucking bitch on medium but i finally got it

To update,

This game was easy....

yeah right! beat Jordan or Six on Expert 100% then you can say it was "easy."

this game sounds so fun,have to get it!
its pretty expensive here,that sucks :(

That's not gonna happen.  :hihi:

but cobain was a loser :-\

Man that "Carry Me Home" tune by The Living End was really tough for me to complete 5 stars but i finally did it yesterday

4 songs left to get 5 stars on medium (FreeBird, Hanger 18, Institutionalized and Psychobilly Freakout then i must work on playing Hard difficulty....so far i've only completed 6 songs on hard and all of them i was just scraping by :nervous:

hard made me almost hate this game.

With all the time people spend playing this game they can actually be learning how to play guitar for real.

I'm not sure what kind of tone you're using there.. but if you're being condescending then seriously, it's just a game man. Let people enjoy themselfs.

If you were just kidding.. then yeah you're probably right.  :hihi:

i know i'm right. bitch.




 :rofl:

 :hihi: Good times.

Some of us already know how to play "for real"......

 : ok:

5 gigantic coloured blocks really arnt showing someone how to play lol.

you need a evil mofo, with 6 strings, which is a pain in the ass to play...

WHICH IS WHY I WENT ONTO BASS INSTEAD :D

No, you miss the point.

I've been playing "for real" since I was about 12 - 13 years old...so coming up on 20 years.

I still enjoy GH and GH2.  It's a very different mechaninc.....

well it's a great finger practise.. I think the game can encourage people to play for real.

I agree...it's a great limbering excersize and it'll get you used to some basic stretches and slides (hard and up).

But the overall mechanics, obviously, are very different.

this game hurts my pinky finger :hihi: and i acutally use it alot when i play guitar for real...but definately help strenghten and speed.

its jsut fun...and something differnet to do, also you can play with a freind that has no clue about how to play real guitar for fun, and its a hit at parties

As do I.

yeah, same here...minus almost

Still waiting on the 360 version, out in March.

It's gonna be a great month, you know?    :beer:

freya is kickin' my ass on expert right now.

Dude.. I keep trying to get 5 stars...  :no: can't do it. Freya is one of the hardest songs in the game on expert and should at least a couple tiers up.

The patterns man.. the patterns...

Finally finished the 40 Main songs on Medium with Five Stars .... I have 10 songs completed on hard...only 3 stars on each one though :-\

Its quite a jump from medium to Hard :o I can barely complete the song...let alone get 4 or 5 stars :rant:

I'm all the way down to Rock This Town with 5 stars on Expert.

Rock This Town on expert is very hard and I find I even have trouble getting 4 stars. We'll see.

I'm trying to work on 5 starring the "Furious Fretwork" songs on Hard.  That's where I hit my first wall, on medium, too...those songs just kick my ass the first few times I play them.  It's a big jump in speed from the previous sections and they've been the only songs I really needed to use the "practice" feature on to slow them down, learn them, and then pump them back up to normal speed.

If you think the jump from medium to hard is tough...wait til you jump from hard to expert.  I think that difference is MUCH bigger.

yeah those last 2 groups of song are a bitch :hihi:

i used the practice feature to get by them on medium...but going to hard i had to do training for Wolfmother :rofl: i still couldnt do the damn thing on the slowest setting....that fuckign hammeron-pulloff solo :rant:

anyway i managed to get full star power before the solo and just ride it out til the end of the song...i'm hoping as i get farther down the list i'll be able to go back and beat the songs with some skill :hihi:
