Broke my heart. Especially the paltry 80s selection.

EDIT: The 2000s hurts my feelings too. Too much alt rock. The alt rock is well selected as far as that stuff goes, but I think GHIII did a better job of juggling main stream selections and more imaginative picks.

Yeah, seriously. I am a pretty awful guitarist, but I can play most of what's offered here so it takes out some of the anticipation. In the 00's I was kinda hoping for an Avenged, or Trivium, or something more lead guitar oriented, and with some fast double bassing drums, and yet still appeals to mainstream. Hopefully a good DLC pack comes out for good lead guitar and drum work.

I guess I just expected more since it seemed like they already have hundreds of DLC songs lined up, i expected more than this.

I played it when it came to OSU campus as part of their US tour. It was very fun. I played the drums and tried to sing...pretty challenging and just as addictive. It was just a demo, so the timing was a little off. When I was playing the guitar the hammer-on and pull-offs were difficult, but it just took a little getting used to.

Awesome, what songs did you try out?

Not a big fan of the track list, they are definitely gearing towards downloadable content. I've heard full CD's are planned on being 1600 points. WOW!

Why the hell does the USB adapter have to be powered for the 360? That's stupid. So now I have to find another plug in in order to play the game. Lovely.

Since I don't have a 360/XBL, how much is 1600 points?

We did "Wanted Dead or Alive" "Dani California" and "Tom Saywer".

Now that I have Guitar Hero 3 and look at the Rock band track list - I didn't realieze how many repeats there were.

Yeah, it's the biggest thing souring me on this game. They've announced almost as many downloadable songs as songs on the disc. If these songs are coming, put them on the game, don't charge us for them later. Just annoying to me.

$20...........what are they smoking? I bet that is one reason why they probably were able to get a full Metallica album, since they could all rape the fans on the price.

Even worse, these jerks (Harmonix) promised all this DLC for the 360 GH2 and we only got a handful. Hearing this stuff is starting to piss me off.

From what I've understood, albums will be 1600 points, and if you just want individual songs, they will be 200 points each.

Bend over for Rock Band, because Harmonix is going to make sure they are making money.
