Yeah, Trogdor rules. Plus, the 360 version will have the Dethklok theme song on there. Awesome!!!


TROGDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10/30/2006 2:50:44 PM

got the 10 song demo and the associated ppf files that unlock 30 songs. can not WAIT for this game. Some very fun songs. Psychobilly freakout felt fast on medium. It has to be retarded on expert!

10/30/2006 3:24:44 PM

it was a maybe for me, cuz im not good at it (compared to konga or maybe ddr), but new developments have all but solidified a place for one next to my 360.

10/30/2006 4:27:14 PM

I'm sort of hoping that the demo versions were slightly simplified...if YYZ is a 7th level song (out of 8) I hope I'm not disappointed, because that shit was easy on expert.

10/30/2006 5:12:10 PM

i played the demo at bestbuy on co-op. its really fun playing with the backup and lead guitar parts. but it felt like the timing was all off even with the new guitar controller they put out with it.

10/30/2006 5:22:27 PM

TODAY!

11/7/2006 3:32:18 AM

i'm so gettin this shit to occupy me over christmas break

11/7/2006 7:57:18 AM

Going to crabtree to pick it up as soon as it opens

11/7/2006 8:40:51 AM

9.5 on IGN. I got the first one on PS2. When I get a 360, get GH2 on that. I heard you can buy more songs through the Marketplace. Nice.

11/7/2006 10:41:16 AM

hmm, i have quite the quandary. should i get this or FFXII? i'm looking to consume as much time as possible over christmas break.

11/7/2006 10:48:06 AM

You can't lose homie. Both of them are "GotY" caliber.

11/7/2006 10:50:30 AM

I'm happy to report that the demo was indeed simplified quite a bit, as the real game's Shout at the Devil (the first song) is notably more complex than the one on the demo. I guess I could be wrong, as I haven't played the demo in about a week, but there were a lot of extra flourishes in there that I didn't remember.

It's also got a really cool stats feature so you can see where which sections (first verse, solo, etc.) you messed up on.

Surrender is just as fun as it should be.

Hopefully I'll have all the songs unlocked within the next two hours and then get Sousapickle over here to christen the co-op with GnR.

11/7/2006 1:06:16 PM

^^^If you're going to have other people to play with you, GH II is obviously the better choice. Otherwise, I say FFXII

11/7/2006 1:15:29 PM

I would say that FFXII will consume more time unless you have friends and beer around. Obviously I love GH, and though it's really fun to play by yourself, it's a million times more fun when you're playing multiplayer and/or rotating the guitar around a bunch of friends.

BTW, am I wrong in thinking that GH retailed for $39 without the guitar? The new one is $49, which is fine (and expected considering the success), but I seemed to remember the original being cheaper.

[Edited on November 7, 2006 at 1:23 PM. Reason : 4]

11/7/2006 1:19:06 PM

i have the original GH and i haven't mastered medium mode yet. plus i think i'll wait to get GHII until one of my friends buys a 2nd guitar.

11/7/2006 1:43:24 PM

****SPOILER ALERT****


























The different levels are set up as four song sets and then an encore that unlocks immediately when you pass the fourth song...the first encore is "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" and at the end your drummer explodes.

11/7/2006 1:47:04 PM

id rather just suck at guitar

11/7/2006 1:51:40 PM

Eh, a lot of songs are harder on GH than they are in real life. "Monkey Wrench" is in drop D on a real guitar and is basically a one-finger song that amounts to some sliding figures and hammering on to power chords, but on GH it's got three-finger chords and lots of unneccessary shifts.

11/7/2006 2:30:47 PM

ha ive never played guitar hero but i can play that riff.

maybe I should play this game

11/7/2006 2:49:25 PM

In EGM, one of the guitarists from Queens of the Stone Age said "I can't play my own damn song!"

By the way what did everyone name their band? My band's name is "Dead Kittens"

11/7/2006 2:55:02 PM

Me and my Roomate are on the last section on hard right.. now... good thing eh is better then me cuz these last 4 songs are kicking my ass

11/7/2006 3:27:29 PM

ATTN ALL PLAYERS

Sousapickle just passed Misirlou on expert on the first pass.

I bow to him.

His arm hurts.

11/7/2006 6:21:53 PM

does the gh1 guitar work with gh2?

11/7/2006 10:03:59 PM

^Yes.

They used "waaaahmbulance" in the game. I've never heard that outside of tdub.

11/7/2006 10:46:55 PM

this game makes me wet

11/8/2006 12:08:03 AM

must...get past...84% of hangar 18...on expert....grrrr

11/8/2006 1:18:10 AM

Although I've been at parties where a lot of people have enjoyed playing the game, I can't help but notice how incredibly gay it makes them look to hold that dinky toy guitar, lol. So just as long as you don't mind looking silly I guess

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 1:47 AM. Reason : ]

11/8/2006 1:46:12 AM

Quite the contrary...gays are the only ones who care about how they look.

89%

11/8/2006 1:50:50 AM

^^Once you realize games are meant to be played for fun and not to look cool, it's not a big deal

11/8/2006 1:57:25 AM

im still playing gh1, i didnt get 2 today

11/8/2006 2:11:27 AM

Yeah, I'm still playing GH1 too. Shoutout to Sousapickle for beating Misirlou on the first try. I've seen the song being played on YouTube, and it looks extremely difficult.

you're absolutely right. I still don't understand why they didn't just make a full scale guitar controller

11/8/2006 4:02:29 PM

I hadn't played GH, but after we put the demo in our break room at Circuit City, I bought GH2 today. goddamn the awesomeness of this game!

11/8/2006 4:42:34 PM

Finally got through Hangar 18 on Expert...the Freebird bit is awesome, I won't give it away.

11/8/2006 5:00:13 PM

so not to brag or nothin (well yeah, this is brag-worthy), but I took the game out of its case, started a career on expert, and got 73% of the way through freebird before failing a song

there are a few that i never want to play again, but for the most part

"goddamn the awesomeness of this game!"

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 9:11 PM. Reason : and then beat it second try]

11/8/2006 8:58:57 PM

misirlou was surprisingly easy on expert. hell, i thought it was the easiest one on that level. if you figured out the breaking wheel in GH1, it was pretty much the same thing.

Free Bird, on the other hand, is a bitch on Hard.

11/9/2006 12:56:23 PM

It's worth pointing out that Sousapickle failed Psychobilly Freakout once and Beast & The Harlot many times before he got his own copy.

11/9/2006 1:03:48 PM

institutionalized on expert is fucking ridiculous

11/9/2006 7:45:50 PM

Interesting article about this in the weekend Wall Street Journal. Apparently tons of popular musicians play this for fun.
