Guitar Hero

[IsaacRN]

Well,

I got my first taste of guitar hero. IM HOOKED. ONly bad part is i dont have an xbox360. But boy oh boy is that game really fun. Anyone else here play it?

[Sejanus]

I've played GH2 on PS2, and I own GH3 for the Wii.

[seamus402]

Love it, love it, love it - I freakin love it. Played on PS2 and XBox 360 and Wii. That game rocks!!!::git

[IsaacRN]

Im really debating buying a console and the game now.....damn temptations

I don't blame you.

Hey.. if you get the Wii version you and I can play against each other! Haha

[Baloosh]

I have GH2, GH Encore: 80's, and GH3. All for PS2. Awesome games.

If you're into GH at all, just try Rock Band. On a whole other level.

But yeah me and my boys have a great time playing the GH series.

Only problem with Rock Band is the difficulty is not quite as high.. and you NEED other people.

Im looking at stuff online about Rock Band.....it looks pretty smooth...im betting you cant use the same guitar though.

You can, but not all of the Rock Band features will work. That was according to IGN when I was reading up on it awhile ago.

[IsaacRN]

Ken.....check out the rock band drum videos on youtube....crazy stuff

[Sejanus]

Yeah I have. I think the next version of Rock Band will be even better.. but for my money Guitar Hero is still on top. So far.

[IsaacRN]

I dunno man....if I werent traveling i think i would go out and get them. But...the logistics of taking all this gaming stuff back to Texas when im done is ridiculous.

I laughed with my brother talking about...when i go to the airport with my guitar hero guitar in a case...and ill look like a rocker.

GH3 on PS3 here. It rocks!

[Edcculus]

I became disillusioned by GH after about two weeks. I'll admit that it is an extremely fun and addicting game, I find it really hard to rationalize spending that much time mastering the game when I could use that same time to actually learn guitar, or practice my piano or trumpet.

Thats just my 2 cents.

[IsaacRN]

Tell you what....after playing for 4 hrs today....i dont think ill ever get to the hard lvl. Medium is capping me out atm

Keep at it bro. Medium uses 4 of the 5 buttons. Just wait until Hard when they throw that 5th button at you, and you have to retrain your fingers to slide down the neck of the guitar at various times! ;)

Good stuff...

That was what my oldest son wanted for Christmas. Now I have to keep reminding the husband, that it is not his gift, it belongs to the son. They are both having a great time, but are still on the easy level.

Same here. I'm starting to get pretty solid on the medium level. I gave hard a shot last night and didn't even make it through f'n song :ashamed001

[Baloosh]

Hard will be the biggest leap for most people, because it's the first level that has more buttons used (5) than fingers available (4) so you have to retrain your fingers to perform in two different scenarios:

1) Having four fingers on GRYB (Green Red Yellow Blue)

2) Having four fingers on RYBO (Red Yellow Blue Orange)

So in configuration 1, your index finger plays the Green button, and your middle finger plays the Red button.

In configuration 2, your index finger now plays the Red button, and your middle finger plays the Yellow button (which is the button your ring finger USED to play in configuration 1) etc. etc. Once you get past that part of re-learning, it opens up a whole other way of playing... and the change from Hard to Expert isn't NEARLY as steep as the change from Medium to Hard.

Also, practice your hammer-ons and pull-offs in the Training area... once you get them down you can ROCK and do lots of the fast parts with just pressing buttons and not having to "strum" at all.

[Sejanus]

I am nearly finished with Hard. For GH2 I was all the way into Expert.

GH3 is MUCH harder...

[Scorpio]

I just pull out my Fender Strat and just rip it!!!!:D

I try it at Mike's the other day it was fun.

[IsaacRN]

I have no clue what Hammer-on and Pull-offs are......but sadly.....its gonna be some months before I can play the game again. I head back to NY tomorrow ;(

I know i played for likek 5 hrs.....but does anyone else get nauseated while playing that game?

Hammer on/offs is when you strum once and play a bunch of notes without strumming again. GH3 is FULL of them for certain songs.

I don't get sick, but I know when I play for a long time I see a scrolling bar when I look away from the screen.. things scroll for a few minutes.. :rofl

[IsaacRN]

Darn...i wish i had gone through the tutorial to learn that......sometimes its alot of work to do all that stuff at once.

For some reason I was getting nauseated....had to put the guitar down....mid game...because i was gonna throw up......then came back and won. THe warpage thing..looking at other items after looking at the tv is freaky.

Yeah.. I think you played too much too quickly. :rofl

[Baloosh]

My Mom and one of my friends have both complained about getting dizzy while they watch or play it. I've not personally experienced that, but I do get dizzy sometimes in extremely fast-paced First Person Shooter games (Doom, Quake, etc.) so I know the feeling.

Time for an intervention?::git
