Guitar Hero

[King Snarf]

Anyone here play any of these titles? Is anyone here as giddy as I am about the Rock the 80's pack coming out this Tuesday?

[HSHP]

Both Guitar Heroes are awesome games. I have them for the PS2 and have two guitars and it can rock. Unfortunately I am not giddy about Rock The 80s for a number of reasons. First, let me say that the material is awesome and when I first saw it coming out I was giddy. After reading up on it however, I found that there's nothing but the initial material. The set lists is all there is to play. No extra songs to buy. Don't know if there's no shop at all, but if that's the truth, maybe this should've been marketed as an expansion game rather than a solo game and not have the $50 price tag. Besides, I can't afford it anyway. I have to save up for the Legendary package of Halo 3.

There'll be guitars and stuff to buy, as well as the Grim Ripper in his 80's outfit (he's got a Flava Flav clock!). But yeah, it's somewhat sparse for $50. But I will buy; I gots to rock out to some Flock of Seagulls, Oingo Boingo, and Ratt. Besides, it very well may be the last GOOD Guitar Hero game, because GH3 could possibly get pwn3d this fall by Rock Band.

Yeah, I was about to ask what you guys thought of the new Rock Band game coming out. I've seen some early footage of some folks (I think they were part of the game staff) playing Guns N Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle", and it blew my mind.

I'm still too broke to buy the Guitar Heroes games, even though they look cool and I've definitely been interested in buying them for a while now. Rock Band will be even more expensive than the Guitar Heroes games, mostly because you'll be buying the guitar controllers, drum kit, and microphone with it. Make sure you've got enough friends who will chip in to buy that game...

I like to play this game if I got a special controller and a PS2.

Depending on which GH you buy (1 or 2), it'll still run you between $70-80 for a new copy that comes with the guitar controller. Pricey, yes, but worth every penny in my opinion. I've gotten much more replay out of this than many other games put together.

Why do so many people like that song "John the fisherman." It hurts my ears? >.< But it was a great call to have "Freebird" as the last song in GH2. I only use the x box360 controller so the ending of "Freebird" gets really interesting.

[Fox_Lupus]

Just out of curiosity, how many people on the thread use the controller instead of the guitar?

[Tsavo]

Rock Band is really well done. There are tons of little details that in my mind put in over the GH series. The difficulty is in line with GH2, which I prefer to the amped up GH3.

There is little difficulty in Rock Band?

[Tsavo]

I wouldn't say little difficulty. Drums destroy me. If you've played all the GH games though you probably noticed a difference in the way GH2 and GH3 played. GH3 seemed to amp the difficulty up by placing notes where they don't exist in the song. Rock Band's guitar portion plays more like GH1, 2, and 80s; which makes sense considering that Harmonix made those games and not GH3.
