      I'm trying to get ready for it by attempting to beat Electric Eye and Play With Me on Expert (GH 80's, the last two I have left) and it's just not happening.
      I started working on Hard mode with Guitar Hero 2 today. I had a hard time with it a few months ago so I stopped playing on hard and went back to Medium. I said for the hell of it today that I would try again, I got through the first tier and on to the 2nd. Hard isn't too bad if you practice some of the songs if your having trouble.

        Yep...I still find Hard to be a decent challenge, and I constantly find myself going back to it when I get too frustrated on Expert. It's my "Fun level" so to speak because I can hit just about all the notes and feel good about how I did. Compare that with expert where I'm often saved by timely starpower...you get the idea.

        That said, I still haven't even 5'd every hard song on GH1, let alone II or 80's. And I probably never will get Psychobilly Freakout.

                  Re: Guitar Hero 3

                  I just played this in Gamestop, and I was a little disappointed. The hit window is huge now, which makes the game much easier. I was killing the demo songs on expert, and I could barely even hear it. People complained about the difficulty of GH2, and it looks like Neversoft listened and really dumbed the game down. Maybe it won't be so bad on some of the harder songs on expert, but I felt like I was sleepwalking through the game, and just rubbing my fingers around the fretboard and getting high scores. The new guitar felt better though. Felt heavier and the strum wedge was stiffer, which should lead to more precise alternate picking.

                  I thought of getting this and Rock Band because of the playlist, but it looks like I'll just be getting Rock Band.

                    I actually like the sound of that. I can tell you that I was nailing some of the larger pull-offs and what have you - and the game just wasn't registering it. 80's was much better than 2 for me, as 2 was better than 1... I'm hoping 3 is even better in terms of this. Because really, GH makes songs so much harder than they really are... When I can nail a song on a real guitar, and hit 60% on GH something seems off. And it's not because I can't hit the buttons, but because the way it registers them - it's just not picking the notes up well enough at times.

                          I will agree + it feels heavier.

                              Yes, it was my annual OS donation time so I said why not go with a name change in the process.

                                I guess it's all in everyone's individual fingers. Very few songs do I find to be legitimately easier in real life than on the game. Generally, everything balances out. The strumming is easier in real life, and the "strummer" isn't a good simulation of picking, but all of the hammer on/pull off and alternate picking solo runs are much harder on real guitar. For comparison, it takes years to learn how to play Marty Friedman's solos in real life, but it probably only takes a couple of days to learn it on the game, a couple of weeks tops.

                                For me personally, I'm looking forward to the drums on Rock Band anyway. I got what I needed out of GHII(never played the other versions) and with the dumbed down version of part III, it'd just be sleepwalking though the whole set list anyway.
