Guitar hero 2 360

[peterpeter]

This is getting some stonking reviews.

Never played anything like this before, but it looks fun..anyone recommend it?

[Steve_Evil]

Heartily recommend it yes, especially with a few mates over.

[Digby]

Been around on PS2 for quite a long time and yes, it is great fun.
It's become one of those games (we hammered it at the start) we dig out
now and again for a laugh.
Get two guitars and play some coop rifts with a mate!

The downloadable content could be interesting too.On the PS2 version, they had
to hack the game to replace songs and it wasn't something that the average joe would be
bothered to learn to do just to get new music.
Hopefuly the 360 version will have songs online you can grab though.

There is a free PC game based on guitar hero actually.You are supposed to hold your keyboard
like a guitar and press some buttons.Can't remember the name/ link now though.

you are right....its bloody amazing!!!!

I dont suppose somene could measure the length of the cable could they. In our house the xbox sits under the stairs and then gets distributed so i need to work out if i should buy it and train the cable aorund or hold out for the wireless one.

hi mate...

its about 2.5-3m long at best.

Do what you can to get it working, because it is really a fantastic game ...Im totally loving it.
Just unlocked sweet child of mine by GNR and Jessica (the Top gear tune). Apparently there are some queen tracks available on Xbox live tomorrow.
Its one of those games that you just cant put down. I rarely play games for much more than an hour nowadays, but this has seen some 3/4 hour sessions already.
My fingers are damn sore.

Its certainly worth getting. The old man (Mr NucSquash) was feeling abit down today so I took him out and got this game. Got home about 3:30ish and we have only just stopped playing it. Its a fab game, good fun and well designed I think. The graphics are good too, watching the drummer and singer do their thing is reall good.

I'm assuming this is pretty much identical to the ps2 version?

Well probably as its the same game - though I would imagine that the 360 versions graphics are a bit better if you have a HD telly.

Not worth buying though if you already have the PS2 version. Graphics are the last thing you are thinking about and there is not much difference, the songs seem to be the same as far as I can see. If you have GH1 and 2 on the PS2 you have 120+ songs anyway, which is more than the 360 and cheaper to buy both of them.

The only interesting thing is the downloadable songs, but even these are supposedly songs that were on GH1 on PS2 anyway.

[Steve_Evil]

The first 3 song packs are out now, 500MS points each, with 3 songs in each one, all of them are from guitar hero 1 and it equates to about £12 for the lot, bit of a rip-off if you ask me.

[Tonsko]

Isn't this game 70 pounds? I think that relegates it to the "if a mate has it, I'll go and play it" category.

65, Jesus thats a lot.

it is but its worth it.

It really is more addictive than crack, finally trained my pinky finger up to recognise that the blue button is it's job and working my way through getting 5* ratings on all the medium songs, still have fears of arthritus for when I get to Hard..

Speaking from past experience there?

[Steve_Evil]

Damn, my drug-addled past has caught up with me. I have been forced to admit that needles and pills just weren't doing it for me and I had to move onto harder substances like miniature plastic guitars...

[Polarbert]

Whats the hit like from a miniture plastic guitar then? Must be pretty special.
