Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

can i take my receipt and a cc ad and get the 1600 points at a walmart?

Unlikely. You could buy it at CC, get the card, then take the new unopened copy to Walmart with your original receipt

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Needed another guitar, so i went into cc during lunch and picked up a bundle ( only 3 left when i got there). So i got the 3200 ms points from the saturday purchases, and another 1600 for this bundle. I plan to turn the game in that came with the second bundle for in store credit.

Thanks for the tip Brad

That's what I would do.

CC better not sell out. I can't get over there until after work.

At least here in south florida. Its spring break week for public schools. There were 3 left when i went to lunch and picked up the bundle and got the ms points.

the IGN review said the first batch from GH1 should be available within a week of release. Per Major's site, nothing but a Marvel Alliance theme/pic pack has been released today.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

I found one today, had no interest in a 2nd one, but the wife said she wanted to start playing, so I picked it up. My EB got in like 10 of them.

Then went to CC and got my 1600 points from getting GH2 over the weekend. No hassle at all, gave me the points card and I left.

That's good to hear...hopefully I have a similar experience this afternoon.

So the feedback is, this is a fun game?

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

My Impressions:

1) I HATE this damn angular POS controller...I much prefer the Gibson SG model from the PS2 games. Just can't get used to it, yet

2)The "star power" seems a bit harder to pull off, almost as if there's some lag involved when you raise the guitar vertically. There's no lag anywhere else, but it's a bit odd here (especially since "star power" is vital for the high scores)

3)The achievements, while well done (they don't slow the game when you get them) have one MAJOR issue! Why oh why must Activision force me to beat the game on ****ty Easy and Medium in order to get the achievements! Shouldn't I be able to unlock the lower difficulty achievements after beating it on Hard or Expert ala GRAW2?

4)The new songs, through the second tier are great additions!

5)Where's the downloadable content on Day One? Thought it was ready!

6)Did I mention I hate the new controller?

last and most important, so far...

7)I finally have something to show up all you Achievement Whores! I fully plan on topping the Friends leaderboard the entire time, for every song. The fact that I'm already tops (granted there aren't many yet), on Expert, is AWESOME! Can't wait to get some competetion at the top


Really, this game is a must-buy, even if you played it on PS2 (assuming you can get used to the controller). It's just so much fun! The second guitar (rhythm or bass) parts add a whole other dynamic, the prospect of DLC is awesome, and the game sounds better with the 5.1 surround and looks better (of course). The leaderboards are also a nice touch, and the multiple difficulties make the game accessible to anyone (and if you play two player one can jam on Expert with the other, like my wife, on Easy).

Don't hesitate!

EDIT: Hey Dookie, any chance of you rebuying GRAW2 (I know you never opened it). It's a blast online, and we need more regulars to play. We either get small private rooms are are forced to play with randoms [shudder].

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

So, if you're already on expect and the game just came out, is it that easy? Or, you can pick the difficulty level and play each song on that level?


Nah, I'm going to pass on GRAW 2...sorry. Please forgive me.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Only reason he's on expert is because he has played before. If you are new to the series, it will literally take you a good 15-20 hours before you can even think of getting to that level.

Johnny, I'll be right there with you when I get my 360 version (whenever I find one).
