JMoney2681 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I know this game is a little old but I just started playing it with my friends and this game is fun. If you are into rock/alternative music then you will like this game. Has anyone played it? Does anyone here pwn or suck? Link to post Share on other sites
ROGUE06 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I've been really starting to get into this game since I started college. Lots of my friends play it, and I personally love it because I'm huge into music(rock, alternative and classic rock) and also unable to play real guitar. I am pretty good now for not having the game. I can beat about half the songs on Hard now and every song on Medium. I have a few friends who have had it forever and can beat every song on Expert which is insane because Bark at the Moon, Texas Flood, and Cowboys from Hell are crazy fast/hard. Definetly can't wait for guitar hero 2, some of the songs for it are going to be amazing. Off the top of my head there's.......Sweet Child o'Mine, Shout at the Devil, Heart Shaped Box, Carry on Wayward Son, Cherry Pie, War Pigs, Crazy on You and ofcourse FREEBIRD!!! Rocking that song alone will make this game amazing. Link to post Share on other sites

I figured you'd be responding to this since you had the Axel Rose avatar and all. This game is crazy addicting. I can beat all the levels of Medium and most of Hard too. My friend plays on expert, but he hasn't beaten all of them yet. I rememeber when I first started out playing, (4 days ago) Red/Blue was the worst combo to do, for me at least.

My friend plays on expert, but he hasn't beaten all of them yet. I rememeber when I first started out playing, (4 days ago) Red/Blue was the worst combo to do, for me at least.I had trouble with Red/Blue atfirst also. Atfirst I tried not moving my hand, and attempting to hit Red/Blue with my middle/pinky but I learned that to be too difficult for me. Instead I just slide my hand down and use the index/ring combo just like when you hit Yellow/Green. Try that out and see if it works. Sometimes it's just too difficult to keep up with, but songs like IronMan and Smoke on the Water, it works like a charm. The songs I have trouble with are the really fast songs and songs that have the Yellow, Yellow+Green, Yellow schemes. It's too hard for me to keep switching off when it goes soo fast. Orange isn't too hard to hit aslong as you don't have to combo it with another color, then it's pretty hard. In Guitar Hero 2, there are supposedly 3 note chords to hit on the higher levels but nothing crazy like a Yellow-Orange chord. Link to post Share on other sites
ricker 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I not only play this game...I destroy it. It's a lot of fun, but I need to give it back to my ex-gf now. Doesn't matter, I rarely play it anymore anyway Link to post Share on other sites

Wandigo 1 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Been playing guitar for a long time and I've never heard of this.. someone enlighten me. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 *cough* A Video Game Thread *cough*Oh, and can anyone do hammer-ons/pull-offs? I can do it in the practice, but I've never really gotten it down in actual songs.Wandigo, it's a guitar-playing game for PS2 (it has a large guitar-shaped controller). Think Dance Dance Revolution...but guitarized. Link to post Share on other sites
renaedawn 1 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I was thinking about buying a PS2 and Guitar Hero for my hubby for Christmas. Is Guitar Hero 2 coming out soon? Will it be out before Christmas? Should I get him both?Also, does anyone know the name of the karaoke game for PS2? The one where you sing along?Also, what can I expect to pay for the unit and each of the games? Link to post Share on other sites

wsox8 10 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 a bunch of people played it on my floor last year but I still have no clue how they got addicted to it.. It looked so crappy and boring. Link to post Share on other sites
CardWarfare 4 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I've never tried this game, because as a guitar player, I feel like it would annoy me with it's lack of actual guitar nuances. That said, Parappa the Rapper > Guitar hero AINEC Link to post Share on other sites
XA_kid 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 This game is super addicting, especially while high. It is the ultimate positive reinforcement game. It took me a day to get through hard and another to get through most of Expert. Cowboys From Hell and Bark at the Moon are a *****. I finally 5 starred Godzilla, so I have only a few more songs to 5 Star (and CFH and BATM aren't happening as I can only barely surive those...stupid double picking).My friend and I (who are both good guitarists) have determined that Hammer-ons and Pull-offs are fairly broken in this game. It is almost always easier to just pick each note. GH2 has an improved system that we both noticed right away. Can't wait until next month! Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJon 175 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I play the guitar (the real kind). Been playing for about 10 years. I tried this game, and it was okay. Probably because I've been playing the real thing for so long. I do think this game could be extremely fun for me if I was under the influence.I play the guitar (the real kind).

The price of Guitar Hero 1 might drop a little when 2 comes out. One of the most exciting things about GH2 will be the co-op play. You can take your GH1 controller along with the 2nd one and jam on songs together. I don't know if one player is playing different notes then the other, if so then it will be truly amazing. One guy playing the rhythm guitar and other guy playing lead would be sooo awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

The patterns are the same (you hit the same notes in a fairly symmetrical order), but they alternate back and forth on the lead. It's not exactly "co-op" since you can't advance through the game in that mode, you can't fail songs, and you both have to play on the same level of difficulty (which is a pain), but it's fun nonetheless.

On GH2, this isn't the case, you can play co-op which is a new feature. Link to post Share on other sites
