Will be playing this tonight as I'm a big kid who CANNOT WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS. smile

Just to let you know the cheapest place to buy is HMV.

£59.99 for the Xbox360 version, its a fiver cheaper than HMV online and the same price as shopto.net.

I couldn't justify having a second guitar so I bought the solus pack a while back, it's good fun but seems even tougher than GH2, can do Hard, but expert is a bit much for me yet.

Spent all last Friday rocking like I have never rocked before hehe Great fun. Seems a little less forgiving than previous versions but they may have just been the new wireless controller.
Loved the 2 player co-op mode - alternate song list as well thumbup
The end battle against the devil was a nice touch (only played it on medium though - I'm not good enough on hard yet - my stubby fingers don't move quick enough) .

Cheers for the heads up on the price at HMV - have just popped out at lunch to pick it up.

Been meaning to give the game a whirl for ages but always balked at the price. The combination of price, gibson and wireless tipped the balance.

ROCK ON!

Also Planet Earth DVD boxset is going for £14.99 for today only HMV too, might be online only, but i'm going to try the shop and try my luck when I pick up GHIII.

Played it for a good few hours last night. and

HOLY HARD!!

I struggled on easy for a few hours, but then I started to get the hang of it (a little)

I have comnpleted about 5 songs on medium and I think thats my whack! Anything I dont really know I'll have to listen to to get the notes.

So far I'm finding it VERY difficult. but thats good. considering ive never picked up a guitar in my life! I like a challenge!

Really is a case of the old mantra 'practice makes perfect' Ok, so maybe not perfect as I can't ever see me being good at Expert, but there was a time when I looked at hard mode and could never see myself doing it.

You'll find that you build up muscle memory and without even consciously thinking about it your fingers will be moving to hit every note, this is especially the case when you move up to hard, you'll see the colours coming and your fingers end up doing all the work without you needing to think about placement.

Edit: And if you find it gets frustrating and you're not getting anywhere, leave it for a day or two, then start again, you'll be better than when you left it, couldn't explain how it works myself, but your brain obviously absorbs the patterns and you'll be much better than if you attempted to keep struggling through.

Same here. Completed it on easy in a few days, not too much of a struggle. Medium on the other hand, some are a piece of cake but others are simply impossible. Christ knows what hard is like!

Seen you on it last night thinking WTF & for that amount of money. Personally fail to see the appeal of it.

Have you never played a bit of air guitar in your life? It is the ultimate showboating game, if you're good at Halo you still look like a chump with a pad, yet on Guitar Hero you can look as cool as this guy:

Its strangely satisfying.

I'll "hammer on" while pulling my "whammy" to release the star power!

Rock on!

How technical does it get?Is it all 'Riffage' or does soloing etc come into it?
