I just played through the first three tiers. I have hit every song I wanted to play (or even know) and am going to stop now. I am never going to go back to it.

No alternate costumes, no secret characters, same venues, same guitar unlockables, only 30 career songs, no unlockable songs...bleh. But most most important, the music's pretty lame and it's $50.

If you are on the fence for whatever reason: you should pass.

FatalT · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2007, 06:46:37 AM »

I only see 3 songs I like. Fail.

Shuri · « **Reply #10 on:** July 23, 2007, 08:27:44 AM »

fucking harmonix, there's a least 60% of those songs that I can't remember. They need to stop listening to those guitar nerds

Wobedraggled · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2007, 08:35:26 AM »

Caught in a MOSH.

Too bad I suck at GH and have no desire to play anymore....

Is this disc ps2 only?

tiesto · « **Reply #12 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:10:35 AM »

No "Rock You Like A Hurricane"? Fuck that.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #13 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:19:40 AM »

Why did you buy this piece of shit?

Robo · « **Reply #14 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:24:04 AM »

Were any of the songs you played moderately difficult, at least?

And yeah, Dio = sale.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2007, 12:36:49 PM »

no, the patterns are easy and boring

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #16 on:** July 23, 2007, 12:44:41 PM »

Im gonna buy two copies, so we see a 360 version muhahah

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 23, 2007, 01:40:08 PM »

Police Truck and Los Angeles, Patel! There's 2 more songs worth playing for.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #19 on:** July 23, 2007, 04:13:50 PM »

I was going to pick up the 360 version, so I think I will wait for the inevitable downloadable content release.

SOME LOGIC YOU GOT GOING THERE U FAGOT XBOT

wait a tic

it's not coming to 360

Robo · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2007, 05:31:40 PM »

As slow as they've been with the GH DLC, you'll be waiting a long fucking time to get it, I bet.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #23 on:** July 23, 2007, 05:31:45 PM »

Let me clarify:I'm going to purchase the 360 of Guitar Hero II, mainly because it has the extra songs and because the PS3 doesn't support legacy PS2 controllers (yet).

I will wait for the inevitable release of Rocks the 80's in downloadable content form.

As for the Xbot comment, I just call them like I see them. I still enjoy my 360, but I'm not going to sugarcoat the fucking system whenever it's torn up twice and Microsoft tries to screw consumers out of the warranties they promise their customers.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #24 on:** July 23, 2007, 05:33:38 PM »

iirc there's two groups publishing GH shit, i dunno if Rock the 80s is coming from the same group as GHII.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #25 on:** July 23, 2007, 05:38:07 PM »

Only one group is publishing GH, two groups are developing it.

Rock the 80s was the last GH stuff to be done by Harmonix, everything after this is done by the Tony Hawk dudes.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #26 on:** July 23, 2007, 05:57:26 PM »

Ah so it could still see 360 regardless, cool. I wish they'd do some more current or famous songs on the later releases, it makes DLC on X360 for GHII kinda russian roulette.

disgruntled_jojo · « **Reply #27 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:06:20 PM »

I've put some more time into it. Basically worth a purchase when it hits used bins for $20. Not before.

Robo · « **Reply #28 on:** July 24, 2007, 12:57:37 PM »

Apparently Best Buy has it this week for $40, taking out some of the sting. I'm gonna run out in a few minutes and confirm.

Robo · « **Reply #29 on:** July 24, 2007, 01:52:32 PM »

Okay, they had it, but I told them to charge me $60 and I bought three of them. Suck it, Patel.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #30 on:** July 24, 2007, 01:56:06 PM »

Im gonna have them charge me 70 each of my four copies, then give them a couple back that they can sell again as new.

Robo · « **Reply #31 on:** July 24, 2007, 07:38:04 PM »

This shit isn't even tolerable for me on regular speed. Hypermode or nothing. $:-\$

On the other hand, Holy Diver is fuck awesome

I'm gonna run out and buy 4 more copies.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #32 on:** July 24, 2007, 08:02:06 PM »

I got my 6 copies

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #33 on:** July 24, 2007, 09:58:52 PM »

You guys are ridiculous.

Fuck this piece of shit.

FatalT · « **Reply #34 on:** July 24, 2007, 10:07:29 PM »

My brother bought this with the Best Buy gift card thing. It's pretty neat I guess. I wouldn't buy it, though.
