360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Circuit City was sold out. =/

I didn't pick it up anywhere else yet, I want to make sure it's something I'm going to want and not just a spur of the moment type of thing.

buy it and if you don't like it, ebay it. You'll get about 95% of your moneyback. That's what I did with the ps2 versions. I made money off of selling the ps2 versions.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

I am getting this for my birthday this weekend. Has anyone confirmed the Halo Mjolnir Mix rumor?

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Wonder if I order online at Circuit City and when the shipment comes in on Friday (at least that's what he told me) if I can still get the XBL points?


I might try to get to Best Buy tomorrow and give it a spin.

I'm itching for the new DLC to start showing up on Live.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

I picked this game up today on a whim and played it almost all day. I'm loving it and it makes a great party game. "Sweet Child O' Mine" was hard as hell to get through, though.

James, what level of difficulty are you playing on? This game is very fun, but on "Hard" just not enjoyable.

I went through Easy to see what it was like since I never played the first one. I'm about half way through on Medium and there are some songs that gave me a hard time, but I've gotten through everything.

I'm gonna keep moving up with the difficulty levels after I beat each one. I probably would've beat Medium tonight, but with "ECW" on and my wrist a little sore, I'm taking a break until tomorrow.

Please note I'm speaking of the PS2 games here....

For a long time on the original GH Medium was my "fun" level, where I could hit over 90% of the notes and really enjoy playing the game. I used to feel the same way about Hard as candyman did, but now I feel like I'm not really playing the whole game on anything below Hard. I'm not quite to the point where I can 5-star everything on GH2 Hard, but I'm getting there. Probably sooner than later, as I'm stopped dead on my Expert run on Psychobilly Freakout - and my best on Hard is a 3-star. I feel like I have to improve that before I can think about passing it on Expert, but that song is....bleh.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Well, I thought I had a busted guitar or just the whammy bar was weird. And this also explains the "recall" another poster heard.

Now the 2nd guitar I bought works perfect, not a single issue with it. But the one packaged with the game, has whammy bar issues for sure.

The Target issue is (from my friend in Va beach who ran into that problem when he went and tried to get GH2 at 9:00AM yesterday). He called and a manager at another target said that the reason the computers said "recall" is because the system is still reading the day before. Since there was a hard street date on GH2 (to insure no one would sell it). He told my friend to come back to that target after 12:00pm and it should be fine. My buddy did and got his GH2. A weird glitch nonetheless but not the type of recall people are hoping for.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

I was able to pick this up yesterday also. I have never played guitar hero before but always thought it would be pretty fun. When I first started trying to play it was a little overwhelming but after a little practice I started getting the hang of it. Now I'm hooked and am having a blast with it. I wanted to call in sick so bad today, lol.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Picked it up yesterday and had a blast with it. I loved GH1 although I was terrible at it, but I will practice and practice until I can be an expert. This game is the most fun I've had with a game and the prospect of DLC makes this made this a must-buy for me.

Re: 360 Guitar Hero Impressions

Loving this game. I've never played before so I'm not very good. Just playing on easy right now.

What's hard is that I actually can play guitar and by instinct I want to strum every note I hear, and on easy you don't have too. But I"m hitting mostly 4*' with a few 5*.

There's also a few songs I'm enjoying that I didn't think I would. "John the Fisherman" by Primus for example. I HATE Primus, but that riff kicks butt.

Johnny it'll be awhile til I can compete with you.....but it will happen....

Yeah the recall thing was something with the target registers or something according to a few other people, but i did notice the whammy bar thing on saturday, just wasnt sure if it was us or the guitar.

I have been trying to do some controlled experimenting using the freebird intro. There are two long notes. First one is yellow, second is red. I can get the whammy to work on the yellow, but in order to get it to work on red, i need to tap the whammy bar "up" then press down and it works. Kinda difficult to pull off at times when the song is going full speed; so i do think there might be a problem with the guitars.

I also have the guitar that has the phone jack near the strap, not the power cord, so i supposedly have the one that works.

anyone else test this yet? ( havent tried on my second guitar yet).

And here I thought I was just a ****** and not using the whammy bar correctly. Seems to be kind of hit or miss when I try and use it.
