The Guitar Hero Thread

[Steve Corino]

Kind of meh on WTTJ since their are far better songs by GnR that could be use for Guitar Hero, but it's arguibly their most popular song.

My random comment on the GnR song pick, I would of liked Coma or Estranged(never going to happen though).

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Personally, I was hoping for Mr. Brownstone. And I really hope that kaleidoscope effect is an in-game effect.

Needs. More. Dio.

[Bob Roberts]

For GNR, I would have loved to have seen Night Train.

[RKOwnage]

Rocket Queen woulda been awesome.

I'm not sure what to do, the 80s one comes out for PS2, and the true 3rd one comes out for the 360. I only have mone for one of them (since I'd have to get two different controllers)

If it wasn't for Dio, it'd be an easy decision.

I'm usually not one for suggestions in games like GH, but c'mon..."Sick Sick Sick" by QotSA would just be...fantastic. I defy anyone to not play that song on a guitar (GH or otherwise) and not just want to jump or thrash around violently.

If it's one thing GH could use a healthy dose of, it's those driving riffs. Yes, I realize that "Who Was Sleeping In My Room Last Night", et al. have that style...but this is one thing where the more, the merrier.

GAME has the encore edition listed as coming out next Friday at £29.99. What the fuck? I thought it was essentially an expansion pack, and therefore would be cheaper, kind of like the Buzz games being bought without the remotes. Bastards, now I can't afford it.

[Jeff Jeffries]

Yeah, it costs WAY more than it should. Its almost ridiculous.

But I'll probably buy it, just 'cause i'm hankering for some new guitar hero.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, I'll end up getting it, just for Synchronicity II and the fact that no matter how good the previous games are, the tracklists get old after constant use. Just going to have to find stuff to trade in.

4 new tracks announced for GH3 by IGN.

Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers

La Grange by ZZ Top

Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden

Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce

Out of the four tracks listed, IGN says that 'La Grange' is the only one that is not a master track.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Man... All these Iron Maiden songs in these games, and never a song I really like. Why not Aces High, or 2 Minutes to Midnight, or Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or The Pilgrim, or New Frontier, or Run to the Hills, or Out of the Silent Planet, or Can I Play With Madness, or The Flight of Icarus? I'm hoping Rock Band does a 'download a whole album' thing with Powerslave.

And I'm incredibly excited about Suck My Kiss. I love that song.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Guys on ScoreHero who got to test the game have said that on Expert mode with the Dragonforce track they couldn't get past 1-3%. Holy damn.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Which is why I'm glad it's a bonus track(Or so I've read).

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh god, it damn well better be.

Picked up Rocks the 80s today with trade-ins and credit notes. I'm a bit undecided. On one hand, the tracklist is pretty much great, there's some really good stuff, like Synchronicity II by The Police, and both Flock of Seagulls' I Ran and the Warrior by Scandal are great fun to play, and having a lot of master recordings in definitely makes a difference. Then again, £30 is a lot to pay for essentially a GHII expansion pack, although it actually does the opposite of a traditional pack - there are fewer tracks (and the Limozeen one shouldn't be in there, given that it's not really 80s, and so many other songs would fit in better) and characters (6 or 7 if I remember rightly, and only the Ripper is unlockable), no alternate costumes (admittedly the 80s styled ones are pretty good), no new guitars or finishes, and no bonus songs. The venues and everything look virtually the same, just with a neon glow and bright colours replacing darker colours. The menus are identical, again, just coloured differently. No new modes and no Stonehenge. I'd probably be really pissed off if I'd actually have had to save and pay the full amount.

But still, I wanted new songs to play and I got them.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

How are the songs with fade-out endings? I've heard people say it's really weird, and lame, to play a song, and have it end with a fade-out. And do the venues still have encore animations?
