NO ONE LIKE YOU

I'VE BEEN WAAAAAAAAAAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUU etc etc.

Mmm, I may have to get GH80's.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Bah. Another mediocre Iron Maiden song(in my opinion, anyway). I'd much, much rather have seen Aces High, Two Minutes to Midnight, Run to the Hills, To Tame A Land, Holy Smoke, A Matter Of Life and Death, Mother Russia, or any other song better than Wrathchild, hell, any song with Bruce Dickinson singing.

On the subject of Caught in a Mosh, I only have to say "FUCK YEAH!"

I dunno if this has been posted yet..sorry, I didn't want to dig through 49 pages of posts...Rock The 80s...Extreme- Play With Me...the song that has possibly one of the coolest guitar solos ever, is in the game.

On that note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLDy0KWf7Cw...ted&search= A bunch of gameplay videos from GH: 80s clipped together. Notice the 3d glasses on the Grim Ripper. I can't decide if that's awesome, or just plain stupid.

Note the Flava Flav clock on the Grim Ripper! Now that is brilliance.

I'm still pissed they picked that Billy Squier song over "The Stroke" or "Everybody Wants You," both of those would have been much more fun to play. Still, I can't wait to play "Heat of the Moment."

[Toe]

Ronnie James Dio and Twisted Sister?

This is going to be a really fun game.

[Cactus Drags]

I've suggested Aces High for GH since I first heard the first one was coming out. Just for the dive bomb in the chorus

But still, Wrathchild is quality, and I'm glad the Irons are getting rep'd.

I suck at playing on Hard mode in GH2, but I have no problem playing on Hard in the original GH. Anyone have some tips? >.<

I guess I should note that my friend told me to play Jessica a few times to get the hang of hammer-ons and pull-offs. After playing it a few times, I've been getting around 70-78%, but I suck on the rest of the songs.

It has been noted that GH2 is significantly harder than the original. However, practice mode is very useful, especially for tracks with particularly fiddly solos. What I tend to do is play the section I struggle with on a slow setting then when I have it nailed, speed it up and repeat until I can do it at full speed.

"Killing In The Name," "Dead!," "Strutter," "Tattooed Love Boys," and "Sweet Child O' Mine" are my Top 5 picks on learning how to play on hard. Start with "Strutter," any songs around that (besides "Woman") are pretty easy. The other four songs are tougher, but good learning tools.

[Cactus Drags]

Woman was a bitch for me, possibly because I hate the song, but it took me ages to pass that.

According to Amazon and gameplay.com, 80s edition is out August 31 in the UK. Gay.

Confirms songs that were already known for Rocks the 80s and adds Ballroom Blitz by Krokus and What I Like About You by The Romantics.

I HAVE DEFEATED YOU REVEREND HORTON HEAT!

Never was impressed by the idea of Guitar Hero, but my girlfriend's loved the time's she's had with it in stores so we ordered it off of Amazon and just got it today.

Gotta say, with the couple times she's actually let me touch the damn thing... I absolutely fucking suck. I can't even do songs on easy properly. I'm not used to the whole press the strummer and one or multiple buttons thing... then the whammy bar... I just suck.

But gotta admit it was fun. More fun than I thought. I'll have to get some time in with it when she can unglue her hands from the guitar.

Just got done with Hard on GH2, plus 5 starring Medium . Hangar 18 was a bitch, but Freebird was pretty alright. Now, I figure I'll go try to get some more 5 stars on the easier songs on hard, as opposed to limping through half the songs >_<

[-A-]

Well, Psychobilly Freakout on Expert was definitely holding me up for a while, nightmare of a song. Managed to tenuously progress through the next 4 songs, so I'm left with Hangar 18 to pass and then Freebird. Can't quite get the hang of the former at the moment, but I definitely think I'll get past it soon-ish, then the fun of Freebird.

The game's obviously incredibly difficult, but at least it gives you quite a lot of scope for finding your level. I'm never going to five star plenty of these songs, but I'll be pretty happy with just limping my way through all the way to Freebird. Got a few of the bonus songs too, it's such an immense amount of gameplay.

[Diesel]

I just got it and found the easy level differcult I completed it anyway and it said I unlocked a fish...LOL

I starting Medium and I would recommend this game to everyone

[kale]

I just passed rock this town on expert, man that song pissed me off. Glad I worked on my alt strumming

GH II for the 360: Worth selling an original Xbox to *shudder* a GameStop (plus however much more it'd be)?
