This might be the best game ever.

Here's a link to the review of it.

It's pretty tough to explain in words what makes this game so awesome, but if you've ever played and enjoyed the games Frequency, Amplitude, or Guitar Freaks you will absolutely love this game.

It's a bit pricey because it comes with a 3/4 size plastic guitar that you use to play the notes.

The game is made by the same guys that did Amplitude and has a similar playing and scoring format. It is also loaded with a ton of songs and gets very challenging at the higher levels. You can find a list of the songs over here.

Anyone else try this game out yet?


Here's the full list of songs:

• Motorhead - "Ace of Spades"
• Ozzie Osbourne - "Bark at the Moon"
• Audioslave - "Cochise"
• Pantera - "Cowboys From Hell"
• Cream - "Crossroads"
• Sum 41 - "Fat Lip"
• Edgar Winter Group - "Frankenstein"

• Joann Jett - "I Love Rock and Roll"
• The Ramones - "I Wanna Be Sedated"
• Bad Religion - "Infected"
• Black Sabbath - "Iron Man"
• Queen - "Killer Queen"
• Boston - "More Than A Feeling"
• Queens of the Stone Age - "No One Knows"
• ZZ Top - "Sharp Dressed Man"
• Deep Purple - "Smoke on the Water"

LPM and spigidygak, did you guys end up getting the game?

If so, how did you like it?

I received it as a Christmas present and decided to bring it with to my friend's house one night while we were drinking....it was a hit. It seemed like anyone could just jump in and play and have a great time doing it...just wish we had a second SG controller to plug in.

I just finished all the songs on expert; Bark at the Moon and Cowboys From Hell are tough!

One of my roommates at school is trying to rack up five stars on every song on expert....I think that's insane, but maybe there's some more unlockable stuff you can get with that.

Anyone else give this game a try yet? I noticed they had it set up at my local Best Buy the other week.

Devhux

I've seen it in action but haven't tried it myself. Looks quite fun though.

LPMiller

i think it's Console Game of the Year for me.

Cheesypuff

WORD...I've played this game. and LOVE it. it's good times!!! it's SO fun. I like these kind of games. like donkey konga, gitaru man, ddr, etc etc

Dude, I LOVE Gitaroo Man!! I got stuck somewhere in the middle of the hard mode though and I hear it only gets harder from there, especially those bone guys.

wung

man, with guitar hero, donkey konga, and ddr ... you can form a band ...

gwilks98

I've been wanting this game, but I'm in the middle of Katamari 2 and Star Ocean.

Is it really worth dropping the other two?

I bought that game bout a month ago or longer and is soooo addicting and fun! I barely bought Donkey Konga and havent had the chance to play yet.

Jus remember to put your guitar up 90degrees for added bonus!

Cheesypuff

yeah...I can't beat it!!! it's so hard!!! but SO FUN!!!

Chgoman

If your in the middle of Star Ocean, don't plan on anything else for a while. It's a LOOONNG game (fun though)

blueindian

i don't get it. does it play like a real guitar? why not just make a box so you can hook your own guitar up to it?

yeah, pretty much we missed the boat on that one. but it's still here. get you some.

welfareloser

with the way my family love donkey konga, i know we'd freak for guitar hero... if only it was available for one of the two consoles we *DO* own... oh, well. maybe someday... i'm just not bringing another console into the house, dammit. i'm out of shelf space around the tv's

LMAO!! This game looks like fun!

Cheesypuff

I would like my gotapex family to feast your eye on this! one of my friends showed me this video, and now I want to pass the love on to you! THIS GUY GOES APE $H!7

welfareloser

hmmm... i don't get it. the caption says that what the guy is doing is amazing... what's the amazing part? i've never played the game, so...

Cheesypuff

yeah...the game is pretty hard to play. yes...yes...this is amazing!

gwilks98

This video reminds me of this:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...40368&q=arcade

PrObLy

Wow.

That guy displays some fantastic technique and great proficiency using his pinky.

I'm just wondering how many times he had to play the song to memorize the solo like that (to be able to hit nearly ALL the hammer ons and pull-offs like that).

Maybe he hooked it up to his VCR and recorded a run through the song so he could work on memorizing the hard parts?

My favorite part is from about 1:37-1:42 where he uses only hammer-ons and pull-offs to perform the main riff.

Cheesypuff

WITH HIS RIGHT HAND!!!! HE USES BOTH HANDS!!!!

gwilks98

I just got this game. WOW...it's awesome.

One small problem though. The dog started playing in front of the PS2, got caught up in the cables and yanked my PS2 (while on) out of the cabinet.
The disc is now horribly scratched in 3 places, and I've had it less than a day.

Am I SOL, or can I replace just the game without having to fork over another $70?

LPMiller

they would likely allow you to exchange the disc, depending on where you bought it.

gwilks98

Best Buy....I'm going to go give it a shot.


update: yup, they were cool about it. Game On!

Bark at the Moon and No One Knows are friggin impossible though.

blueindian

i still don't get it. why not just hook up a real guitar? do you have to know how to play guitar to play the game?

gwilks98

I can't play the guitar, so no, you don't have to know how.

The screen just brings colored buttons at you and you have to press the right button at the right time. It's quite a bit easier than trying to play a guitar, and it's a ton of fun playing cover songs.

Here's what it looks like:

gwilks98

Heh...today's 'Howto'

http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Guitar-Hero

I can't believe someone submitted that.

Devhux

Indeed, that was funny.

It is a little misleading for the Hammer On/Pull Off's though -- you actually have to hold a few buttons in at the same time to do it. For example:

sequence of G-R-Y right together: You'd need to strum while hitting green, then hold green and press Red, then keep holding both while pressing Yellow.

I've been reading that the sequel (NOVEMBER 7!!!) has redone the hammer ons and pull offs to be a bit more lenient, so that will be pretty helpful.

I can't wait for it to come out....in fact, since they've released a lot of information lately I'm going to update the sequel thred
