I've beaten all the songs on hard for gh2. I'll move onto expert eventually.

i'm tempted to buy the beatmania controller to make use of my beatmania/guitarfreaks combo games to their full potential.

Ya I love my beatmania. I don't have Guitar Freaks.. but I'd like to get it if I ever modded my playstation. :P

MexicanOnABike · 12-28-2006, 09:57 PM

man is this game ever Fun! wow. i just beat the game in Easy mode with all 5stars. I'm starting in medium now and I hope it's not too hard to get all the songs unlocked eventually.
When you beat hard mode, does that unlock all the songs?

and if I'm playing guitar hero 2 for the 1st time, would it be worth getting guitar hero 1?

Siege · 12-28-2006, 10:42 PM

In career mode, you get songs as you progress and you don't get to play the bonus songs

in quick play, you get all the normal songs, but you have to buy the bonus songs individually from "the store" in career mode. you only have to buy the bonus songs once (ie: you don't have to buy the easy mode version, medium mode, etc.)

Beating different difficulties does unlock stuff, but it doesn't unlock songs.

As for GH1/GH2, i found that GH1 is slower paced, with shorter songs, but in general, harder than gh2.

i found that overall the techniques required for gh2 are easier than gh1, but what makes it hard is that you have to deal with a lot more notes and longer songs.

On a side note: i missed out on getting a drummania controller for $58!! the store was sold out when i found out about the sale

MexicanOnABike · 12-31-2006, 11:22 PM

all i meant was that in easy mode, it's set to 28 songs and medium is 40. so i was assuming that hard or expert unlocked 5 or 10 more songs. unlock or get them as you progress is the same thing.

on another note, i recently tried Frets on fire. it's the PC version of guitar hero. wow is that ever cool to be able to play on my pc! it's not as good of course but it's cool to know that if my ps2 exploded, i'd still be able to play the game. apparently you can even get a ps2 to usb converter so the guitar hero controller can be plugged in your pc!

also: who here has tried the multi player coop/face off mode in guitar hero2? is it worth getting the 2nd controller for ? how is it?

has anyone seen or tried any 3rd party controllers like the wireless ones from that other company?

Shauk · 01-01-2007, 02:20 AM

the co-op and face off mode are worth if if your living room is a social hub of rockin gamers, but other than that, the 2nd controller may collect a lot of dust.
I'd just as soon treat it like paintball, make people bring thier own.

Siege · 01-01-2007, 12:19 PM

I've heard that the Topway guitar (used for guitar freaks, not sure about guitar hero) really sucks. But then again, i've also heard that the Topway drum set is no good and I haven't had any major issues with it yet.

As for a 2nd controller, I personally wouldn't get it, because no one in my family will play guitar hero with me.

MexicanOnABike · 01-01-2007, 12:30 PM

i was talking about this one in particular.

they have a bunch of them and they look very nice!

Guitar Hero suit settled
RedOctane, Activision, and The Ant Commandos bury the hatchet on legal dispute; peripheral manufacturer will continue to offer its own guitar controllers.
By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot
Posted Dec 21, 2006 2:18 pm PT

In August, RedOctane and parent company Activision sued The Ant Commandos, accusing the peripheral purveyor of copyright infringement, false advertising, and more in connection with the company's unlicensed Guitar Hero controllers. The Ant Commandos quickly countersued, claiming that RedOctane swiped the official Guitar Hero peripheral's design from its parent company's "Magical Guitar" controller, released years earlier for Konami's Guitar Freaks line of games.

In late October, the companies told the judge in the case that they were expecting to reach a settlement on the dispute within 10 days. It took a bit longer than that, but earlier this month the parties told the judge that they hashed out their differences and finally reached a settlement. The judge officially dismissed the case yesterday.

A representative of The Ant Commandos told GameSpot that the details of the settlement could not be revealed but did confirm that the company's products would continue to be distributed. Representatives for Activision could not be reached for comment.

My neighbor picked this game up and asked me if I wanted to try, so I come over, and I am told that I need to wear a leather vest and a pair of shades to play, which is cool cuz you have to look like you rock to rock. I start playing and sucked at first, but as soon as I got used to it I became the crazy GH master. The notes you have to use the wa bar on I freakin' rock at, no matter how short it is I can make it go all crazy like it does. I love this game almost as much as I love DDR.

MexicanOnABike · 01-28-2007, 11:58 AM

has anyone heard about the new GH that's coming out soon?
I've read reports that a "GUITAR HERO: 80's Edition" is supposed to come out in the spring.
what's your thoughts on this? i personaly thing it's a fucking great idea to stick to 1 era of music. plus, the rock of the 80's is very memorable. (not the pop which everyone thinks suck. )

Sweet, I also hear another company is releasing a game called "Guitar Villain". Sounds like a ridiculous idea for making money off an existing idea, but still, Evil will always win, because good is dumb.

it's not another company, it's still activision buying the trademarks for futuregames or to protect the names so that someone else doesnt just ripoff theirs.

Siege · 01-28-2007, 08:41 PM

Guitar hero 80's edition seems odd. Isn't a fair amount of music from guitar hero from the 80's anyway?

MexicanOnABike · 01-29-2007, 10:59 AM

i think the look and feel of the game is what will make it great. have you played GTA Vice City? that one was great because the feel was totaly 80s! if they keep to that, we'll get a great game. kinda like if you were in the 80s trying to start a band, playing covers... I'm totaly ready for it. plus, pinkfloyd, ledzeppelin and so much more WERE playing in the 80s. so seeing them in there would be fucking great!

fightnight · 02-07-2007, 08:27 PM

I think the co-op mode is super fun. I just don't own one of my own so I have to play at my buddies place. I wish this was around when i was younger, not quite as easy to find time as a 25 year old professional!

Esoteric · 02-10-2007, 06:31 AM

I've played the PS2 version of GH2 at Circuit City and it was awesome. I'm waiting for the 360 version before I buy my copy though.

cj2112 · 02-10-2007, 07:15 AM

I picked up GH2 last night at circuit city...I was totally prepared to be disappointed because I knew there was no way the game could live up to the hype. I was really surprised, this game is awesome! Ummm....I have to log out and go play now....my controller looks lonely...

Siege · 02-10-2007, 03:59 PM

I think what really makes this game great is that

a) there are very few interactional games in the north american market

b) this game is fun whether you're on expert mode, or can barely pass easy.

My one wish for this game is that they keep a running count of how many notes you hit in a row (kind of like guitar freaks)

MexicanOnABike · 10-28-2007, 01:19 PM

it's out! and it fucking rocks!! I got guitar hero 3 this morning. 1st day it's out and I have it. all thanks to my awesome gf who got it for me.

so overall, it's the same but the new guitar is great and wireless plus it's detachable so if you want to travel with it, you can. from what I saw of the new songs in the games, it's good. not great yet because i haven't seen em all.

the new battle mode kicks ass but it's fun with someone of the same caliber.
the overall look of the game has been brought up like 5-10 years in the age group. it's no longer a 10-15yr game but a 20-30 age game. much more mature.

LoganSnake · 10-28-2007, 02:24 PM

Same as MOAB. I got it today for PS2, except I already have a guitar from previous games. So far I like just about everything except the boss battles. I've been stuck on the first one for a while.

MexicanOnABike · 10-28-2007, 02:46 PM

Ok: boss battles are retarded for now. they should give a little meter to tell you before it's too fucking late! like fuck. in multiplayer, the battles go on till someone loses. not when the computer decides. gay. i'll try it again and try to save up my power attacks.

and LoganSnake: I just got the bundle because it came with the guitar so that I could play multiplayer with my gf. the game alone was 60$ so a 40$ guitar isn't bad. they're usually much more than that.

intecel · 10-28-2007, 02:55 PM

The final battle in hard mode is the only one I'm stuck on... about 40 attempts later and I can't beat it... I have 5 stars on almost all hard mode songs, yet can't do the battle.

If anyone has any tips on beating him, I'm open for all suggestions.

Has anyone found any cheat codes for it yet? There is a section in options for cheats... Was curious if anyone knows what they do.

Infinite_Loser · 10-28-2007, 08:26 PM

I'd buy this game now, but if I did I'd more-than-likely start neglecting my school work. Oh well...

Frosstbyte · 10-28-2007, 10:38 PM

The battle mode in career play is the most retarded, god awful "feature" they have ever come up with. I have been absolutely destroying Hard difficulty (4-5 stars on almost every song) and have run into a complete wall at Slash. I've gotten him into the red once, and while my meter stays green until I run out of time and the death drain wins for him, I just cannot consistently get the "power" riffs to block his and drain his. It's absolutely retarded as a mode to have against the computer. Might be cool against another person, haven't tried it, but it's just obnoxious to have otherwise.

If anyone knows a level cheat, I would skip this stupid shit in a second to get to the SONGS I actually want to play. I often wonder what kind of idiots come up with this shit.

Sorry if you like it. I'm kind of grumpy about it right now.

Siege · 10-28-2007, 10:47 PM

use the song cheat that logan posted above.

at the very least, it'll let you play all the songs if you can't progress the actual single player.

but like i said before, guitar hero with power ups/downs sounds like a bad idea.

Dr Mario Kart · 10-28-2007, 11:40 PM

I agree, Career Battle mode is massive lamesauce

Frosstbyte · 10-28-2007, 11:43 PM

I guess I wish the "boss battles" were an optional thing you could do if you cared enough to unlock the character as a playable character. Forcing you to do them to progress seems almost cruel. It is a bad idea. I guess if I freak out, I'll use the cheat, but I'll probably figure out a way to beat it before that point. I had to play "Beast and the Harlot" about 30 times on GH2 before I beat it, so I've been stuck before and pushed on through.

Also, you said about uh, eight months ago in this thread that you wish that they had a note counter? Well, they followed your advice for GH3. There's a note counter past a 25 note streak and at 50/100/200 little announcements pop up to tell you how far you've gotten. It's very nice.

LoganSnake · 10-29-2007, 05:35 AM

Actually, Slash gave me much less problems than the previous boss did. All you have to do is collect two Whammy and one Double or Hard power ups and use them at the very end of the song where he goes to make a solo (where you can't play anymore). He'll mess up.

Leto · 10-29-2007, 08:49 AM

Bought GHIII (for PS2) yesterday at Futureshop. It came with a free guitar stand and Cost $89 Canadian ($94 US). I will present it to my son next week for his 15th birthday.

Looking forward to it.

asteffen6407 · 10-29-2007, 10:00 AM

For GHIII, when will we be able to buy just the guitar controller?

Went to best buy today to pick up a second so my bf and i could jam together, but alas, they dont sell them separately!

Frosstbyte · 10-29-2007, 11:11 AM

You can use a GH1 or GH2 guitar with GH3, so long as you don't care about it not being wireless. I would imagine you could find those without really any trouble at all. The GameStop we went to yesterday to get the game had a bunch of extra controllers, though, so maybe your area just has more reserves or higher demand.

Edit: Great advice, LS. Beat him in one shot using that strategy!

Reese · 10-29-2007, 11:19 AM

I went to Wal-Mart last night to get the game but the bundles they had for xbox 360s came with the white corded guitar that came with GH2. I didn't buy it because I'm not paying extra for a guitar I already have. I'm just going to have to wait until they have bundles with the wireless or the game by itself.

Yep, I saw that when the video of the dragonforce song came out. It's nice to know how many actual notes you hit each time, instead of finding out at the end what your longest streak was.

Personally, i'm a big fan of the note counter for Guitar Freaks. It counts each individual note past 10. It really boosts your ego when you watch that thing fly

MexicanOnABike · 10-29-2007, 05:54 PM

gh3 does it too. after 25, you see it count at the bottom. every 50 and it shows in your face and at 100. i don't know after that because it's too distracting! haha. but it's nice to have though.

Datalife2 · 10-30-2007, 12:30 PM

I tryied gh3 and I loved it but I played using a controller.

What I meant was that Guitar Freaks counts every single note and displays it on the screen

ie: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 etc.

When you do really fast sections of the song, you can see it fly

MexicanOnABike · 10-30-2007, 06:21 PM

gh3 too! just that it only appears after 25 notes. it's not worthy to show it before that. my record is 270ish. i'm gonna try for a full song soon.

Frosstbyte · 10-30-2007, 10:34 PM

What difficulty is everyone playing on and/or has cleared?

I have the Slayer song and the last battle left on hard. There's a section about a minute and a half into the song that's just killing me. On practice I do fine once I'm past that and I'm pretty sure I can clear the song, but I guess I might have to put in some quality time to be able to nail that riff well enough to do so.

My fiancee just cleared easy tonight and is starting on medium. The guitar you get for clearing easy is pretty damn sweet. Can't wait to see what the hard guitar looks like!

MexicanOnABike · 10-31-2007, 07:23 AM

I'm more than half way into the coop career and the single career in medium. i'll go back and finish the easy later when i'm bored. but i want to beat medium with 5 stars everywhere and then jump in to hard. that's my goal. i tried 1 song on extreme and it was very easy compared to what i remember from gh2. slow ride. i got to 50% before dying but i had also never touched the orange button for like 4months!

intecel Psycho	The final battle in hard mode is the only one I'm stuck on... about 40 attempts later and I can't beat it... I have 5 stars on almost all hard mode songs, yet can't do the battle. If anyone has any tips on beating him, I'm open for all suggestions. Has anyone found any cheat codes for it yet? There is a section in options for cheats... Was curious if anyone knows what they do.

Frosstbyte Winter is Coming Location: The North	The battle mode in career play is the most retarded, god awful "feature" they have ever come up with. I have been absolutely destroying Hard difficulty (4-5 stars on almost every song) and have run into a complete wall at Slash. I've gotten him into the red once, and while my meter stays green until I run out of time and the death drain wins for him, I just cannot consistently get the "power" riffs to block his and drain his. It's absolutely retarded as a mode to have against the computer. Might be cool against another person, haven't tried it, but it's just obnoxious to have otherwise. If anyone knows a level cheat, I would skip this stupid shit in a second to get to the SONGS I actually want to play. I often wonder what kind of idiots come up with this shit. Sorry if you like it. I'm kind of grumpy about it right now.

Siege is a tiger Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada	use the song cheat that logan posted above. at the very least, it'll let you play all the songs if you can't progress the actual single player. but like i said before, guitar hero with power ups/downs sounds like a bad idea. __________________ "Your name's Geek?

Frosstbyte Winter is Coming Location: The North	I guess I wish the "boss battles" were an optional thing you could do if you cared enough to unlock the character as a playable character. Forcing you to do them to progress seems almost cruel. It is a bad idea. I guess if I freak out, I'll use the cheat, but I'll probably figure out a way to beat it before that point. I had to play "Beast and the Harlot" about 30 times on GH2 before I beat it, so I've been stuck before and pushed on through. Also, you said about uh, eight months ago in this thread that you wish that they had a note counter? Well, they followed your advice for GH3. There's a note counter past a 25 note streak and at 50/100/200 little announcements pop up to tell you how far you've gotten. It's very nice.

LoganSnake We work alone Location: Cake Town	Actually, Slash gave me much less problems than the previous boss did. All you have to do is collect two Whammy and one Double or Hard power ups and use them at the very end of the song where he goes to make a solo (where you can't play anymore). He'll mess up. __________________ Maturity is knowing you were an idiot in the past. Wisdom is knowing that you'll be an idiot in the future.

Leto Junkie Location: The Danforth	Bought GHIII (for PS2) yesterday at Futureshop. It came with a free guitar stand and Cost $89 Canadian ($94 US). I will present it to my son next week for his 15th birthday. Looking forward to it.

asteffen6407 Upright Location: virginia	For GHIII, when will we be able to buy just the guitar controller? Went to best buy today to pick up a second so my bf and i could jam together, but alas, they dont sell them separately!

Frosstbyte Winter is Coming Location: The North	You can use a GH1 or GH2 guitar with GH3, so long as you don't care about it not being wireless. I would imagine you could find those without really any trouble at all. The GameStop we went to yesterday to get the game had a bunch of extra controllers, though, so maybe your area just has more reserves or higher demand. Edit: Great advice, LS. Beat him in one shot using that strategy! Last edited by Frosstbyte; 10-29-2007 at 12:26 PM..

Reese Delicious	I went to Wal-Mart last night to get the game but the bundles they had for xbox 360s came with the white corded guitar that came with GH2. I didn't buy it because I'm not paying extra for a guitar I already have. I'm just going to have to wait until they have bundles with the wireless or the game by itself. __________________ “It is better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick” - Dave Barry

MexicanOnABike Location: up north	gh3 does it too. after 25, you see it count at the bottom. every 50 and it shows in your face and at 100. i don't know after that because it's too distracting! haha. but it's nice to have though. __________________ - Movie Reviews - Ratings-

MexicanOnABike Location: up north	gh3 too! just that it only appears after 25 notes. it's not worthy to show it before that. my record is 270ish. i'm gonna try for a full song soon. __________________ - Movie Reviews - Ratings-

Frosstbyte Winter is Coming Location: The North	What difficulty is everyone playing on and/or has cleared? I have the Slayer song and the last battle left on hard. There's a section about a minute and a half into the song that's just killing me. On practice I do fine once I'm past that and I'm pretty sure I can clear the song, but I guess I might have to put in some quality time to be able to nail that riff well enough to do so. My fiancee just cleared easy tonight and is starting on medium. The guitar you get for clearing easy is pretty damn sweet. Can't wait to see what the hard guitar looks like!

MexicanOnABike Location: up north	I'm more than half way into the coop career and the single career in medium. i'll go back and finish the easy later when i'm bored. but i want to beat medium with 5 stars everywhere and then jump in to hard. that's my goal. i tried 1 song on extreme and it was very easy compared to what i remember from gh2. slow ride. i got to 50% before dying but i had also never touched the orange button for like 4months! __________________ - Movie Reviews - Ratings-
