That kid is at it again. 5 star, 98% Monkey Wrench on Expert on PERFORMANCE MODE.

I still call BS on that kid, I still think it's a videotape playing. He doesn't even look like he's playing.

I heard a ton of missed notes as well.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

Where in the hell are the notes?

It's God mode or whatever it's called, it removes the notes.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

Hmm, well to me that sort of defies the point of Guitar Hero. I love playing the game not because I can memorize how to play the songs, but because I can coordinate what's on the screen with the guitar. To me, it's about as pointless as playing the game without sound. But that's just me.

That looked super fake.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

He wasn't even moving the strum bar to the beat (I think it's one of the bridge parts between verses). I've played that song a ton, and since he wasn't holding the strum bar down and using the buttons he was definately faking.

BS!

I don't know... that doesn't look one bit fake to me. Plus, it seems like it would be too much work to try to fake that. Either way, I still think Performance Mode would be crap.

Yeah, that did look fake. The time that people have on their hands to make these stupid movies on youtube.

The word is they will have 10 tracks available on launch day to download (10 from GHI.....please be Thunderkiss....).

I am having a harder time than expecting selling my GH stuff on craigslist, but I am definitely getting this for the 360. Can't wait!

Re: Guitar Hero 2

Not sure if this has been asked & answered already, but how much will additional guitar controllers sell for, for the 360?

$60. The wireless is supposed to come out later in the year.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

I had the chance to play this tonight on the 360 at Best Buy and I really can't wait for the game to come out. Yes, it's pretty much the same game as the PS2 version but the graphics were clearly better (obviously).

Anyone else seen a station set up at Best Buy, or anywhere else?

Yes, I tried it the other day at a Best Buy and I would agree with your comments.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

FYI, Circuit City will be having this for $89.99 next week, like everywhere else, but if you buy it there, you also get a 1600 MS Points card for free, that's $20.
