That's HILARIOUS. A real guitar! Wow!
Anyway, what a brilliant game it is. I'm really enjoying seeing my 'band' rock out in HD - absolutely brilliant character models for this upgraded version. I'm also enjoying the mighty tunes belting out from a proper sound system and not my old shitty 1980's sony TV speakers. The atmosphere is unmatched - the 'live' feeling is beyond divine when you get into the zone. :) |

Pulled an all-nighter with a few friends on this one last night and although I already have the PS2 version, I'll still get the 360 version. I would've bought it, but it was sold out everywhere. Downloadable content alone makes it an instant purchase.

"Things are a lot better towards the end, with My Chemical Romance's rather splendid Dead!"
Musical credibility depleted. |

Wow - I had never played GH before but I bought it today, me and the bird have been playing for 5 hours! I even let her put eye-liner on me and we got dressed up - sad but immensely good fun.
What a game. Only just realised that the controller has a motion sensor in it too - if you tilt it vertically with the end of the fret board up in the air it engages your "star power"! This just gets better and better! Highlight? Seeing her dancing about singing and shaking her ass to Monkey Wrench. Phenomenal. |

Bought it today. Top game, big fan of GH and GHII already, but the whammy bar on mine is completely screwed even after the various fixes attempted. Mate of mine has the same issue as well. Arg!
Thing is, its only a small difference so anyone not versed in the PS2 games will doubtless not know the difference anyway, but for everyone else its there and incredibly annoying. Stay away from batch 95055. |

I really love this game. My only gripe with it really is that it suffers a little from right-band-wrong-song syndrome. There a lot of bands with songs in the game who absolutely belong there, but I'm not sure whether they have necessarily chosen the best songs from those bands. Well, I do have one other small complaint - the little nub on the middle fret button. I know why it's there, but it's absolutely fucked the pad of my middle finger after a couple of long play sessions, to the point that I had to give the game a rest for a couple of days or risk being unable to type at work. :(

Got it on Saturday, I wanted to finish expert before going away on Monday morning ... but got stuck on Freebird (again ... I managed it on the PS2, but it's harsh!)
Love the game though - it's genius on both platforms! |

Dead! by MCR may seem a pants song, but PLAYING it shows the level of expertise in their guitarist. The game really makes you appreciate how great these guitarists really are.
The whammy bar thing: it's a slight issue in angle. Fixed mine already. They're not lying when they say "turn ever so slightly clockwise", as it seems it's a machining fault (the machine that screws them together causes it to wobble before tightening, so it's ever so slightly misaligned). Never played GH before, and DAMN it's hard! Still, I'm up to the last section on Medium already, which ain't bad for a noob. |

decibel - you got a source for that? I'm tempted to open up the guitar and do the fix - but I must admit, it looks ok when I plug it into the PC - seems to respond ok...
And I happen to like Dead! I think it's a great song! |

NegativeZero: Use a bandaid while playing. Gives you a somewhat edgy look too.
I am really looking forward to this. Amazon says it's preparing to ship my order since friday so I cannot cancel it. If I could I would run into the stores and buy it. But what the heck it's fun being excited for a game once in a while. |

I did try GH2 on the PS2 and I didn't like it. I guess this just isn't for me, despite everyone going raving mad over it.
