Re: Guitar Hero

I don't know how much it is here exactly. I had to order it from ebgames.com since it was the only place that had it and it's $79.99 american. bestbuy.ca has is selling it for $89.99 but they're all gone,they're the only store that has it and no stores in the city have it. They said they didn't have a Canadian distributor so that's why it took so long.

It came today. Good news is that it's awesome and I would say most defintly game of the year,bad news is it makes every other rhythm/music game look like complete crap. I'll never be able to play DDR again.

Still working through easy mode. I got 5* on Infected,Take Me Out and Iron Man but the first 2 were in quickplay. Tryed playing sitting down and it doesn't make much differance. Did a lot better on the songs I know than the ones I never heard but sometimes I was playing notes that weren't there for ones I did know.

Some people said the strap doesn't fit them but I'm 6'5 and it fits me fine. Others said their hands hurt but I didn't have that problem either and I played for 3 or 4 hours straight.

My only problem is I'll miss notes when trying to activate star power.

Re: Guitar Hero

There's rumors that it's been discontinued.
On the brightside no one else will know the horrors of trying to play No One Knows. Whoever put that song in the game needs to be kicked in the *****.

Sadly people won't know the joy of the 24 really fun songs + whatever there is in the bounus songs that's fun.

Re: Guitar Hero

My brother's g/f bought it for him for Xmas..along with a black Mullet!

I shot beer out of my nose when I came downstairs to see him standing there with a mullet wig playing Iron Man.

I have to say....incredibly innovative and FUN game.

Re: Guitar Hero

I just got the game today at my local Gamestop. It was the only Gamestop or EB in my area (about 6 stores within 10 miles) that had it and they only had one copy left when I called them this morning. Some guy also came in looking for it when I was still at the register. I don't think anyone really foresaw how popular this game was going to be (though given DDR's popularity, maybe it isn't that surprising).

I've only spent about a half hour with it, but its definitly a lot of fun. The SG controller is one of the coolest videogame peripherals ever created. This game achieves what Nintendo wanted to achieve with Donkey Konga, and thats a fun rhythm game that perfectly implements an electronic instrument. I imagine this game will get pretty hard too. As a guitar player, I still find it immensely fun even if I could be playing the real thing whenever I wanted to.

Re: Guitar Hero

Difficulty seems to depend on the person,a lot of people find Cowboys From Hell and Texas Flood difficult but they're some of my favs to play. I HATE No One Knows though,I've only heard of 2 people liking that one so I guess that's a general hate and most people find it diffcult.

That's the note pattern for the main part of No One Knows on medium,something similar anyway,don't think it's exactly it. Not fun. The rhymth is really werid so it's hard to do for me.

Re: Guitar Hero

Is the controller suitable for left handed players?

You can flip the guitar, and there's a left handed setting in the options.

Re: Guitar Hero

bought it for my nephews for X-mas. It was really hard to give it up to them. I miss rocking out to "More than a Feeling." Funny thing is I hated that song before this game, now I misss it so.

This game is amazing!

Mine too.

Just got this game for Christmas and I'm having a hard time putting it down, even though "Texas Flood" is whipping me on hard.

Like scourge said, rocking out to "More Than a Feeling" has never been so fun.

Re: Guitar Hero

I think I'll wait until Guitar Hero 2. I already have my share of games right now, and I don't want to shell out another $70.00 for it.

The question is... it probably wouldn't come with a guitar (or would it?), so... I wonder what I'll have to do then.

Re: Guitar Hero

Get the red guitar by it self: http://redoctane.com/gh-cherrysg.html Out of stock at the moment though.

Re: Guitar Hero

Cant. Stop. Playing. This. Game.

There is a special feeling when you finish nailing "You've Got Another Thing Coming".


Buy this game. You MUST buy this game. Most fun EVER...I played it for 4 hours straight last night and had an absolute blast.

Re: Guitar Hero

This game is insane on the hard setting1 I need to practice more on medium until I'm nailing the harder songs like Bark at the Moon more consistently before progressing further in the hard mode. I spent all day yesterday with a group of friends pretty much just playing this game, it was a blast. I hadn't done something like that since I was in high school. One of my friends, who is an exceptional guitar player, did really well once he got the hang of it though the hard setting was proving too much for him. In a lot of ways, this game is definitly harder than playing real guitar.

Re: Guitar Hero

I can only do the songs I like on hard. Mostly in quickplay since I can't get passed the first section in carrer but I got 3/5.
