Anyone playing this? Critics have been raving about this game everywhere. I might pick it up tomorrow. Heh, between this, DDR, and my DK bongos people are gonna think I'm some kind of fruit. Even if I don't like this game, it has eBay gold written all over it.

i thought that when i read DDR

that being said, ill prolly cop when its not 70 dollars

11/5/2005 9:49:23 PM

it's more like frequency/amplitude with a guitar

in which case, i wants

11/5/2005 9:51:45 PM

gosh like 99% of those songs would be easy for any amateur. but i guess if the songs were really hard to play they wouldnt have much of an audience for the game haha

11/5/2005 9:51:53 PM

expert/insane mode

11/5/2005 9:52:53 PM

The awesome part of this game is that it intuitively feels like playing a damn guitar. Believe it or not...it has hammer-ons/pull offs/ pinky stretches -- all the while you have to strum a little switch at the bottom either by picking down or back and forth - just like the real thing.

You literally tilt the guitar up like you are rearing for a solo to send it into frenzy mode (multipliers) + the guitar gets all reverby and overdrive and the crowd starts cheering. The controller senses the tilt automatically.

Also, the guitar comes with a strap and shit...........sadly enough , I romp around the room to this f'n game like a retard with no care. It's severly great.

There was a PC game like this back in '95 called "Quest for Fame" that featured Aerosmith songs and a "V-Pick" controller. I tried it and thought it was lame...the controller for this game and the features that have been described make it seem like it could actually be quite a bit of fun.

11/6/2005 2:04:39 AM

Frequency, Amplitude, now Guitar Hero, Harmonix makes music games enjoyable.

11/6/2005 3:05:24 AM

Best Buy in Cary is sold out, but Gamestop says that they'll have it in tomorrow. For some reason, their computers say the release is TODAY.

The Best Buy in Raleigh has one left according to their computers.

11/6/2005 12:59:39 PM

i'm gonna get this sooner or later

11/6/2005 1:46:54 PM

I played it yesterday, and I'm going to definitely get it when I get enough $$$.

11/16/2005 3:38:14 PM

^^^^^^^ Find me anyone that can play the solo in "Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeth.

11/16/2005 4:02:48 PM

"Higher Ground" is fun as shit to play for real...it's probably more fun when you don't have to worry about hitting all the real notes perfectly.

There better be a stipulation on the Ramones song that you're not allowed to play upstrokes.

11/16/2005 4:58:56 PM

^^my 17 yr old stepbrother can

11/16/2005 7:07:25 PM

i can't believe no one's pointed out that there's only 5 strings

. . . noobs. . .

11/16/2005 9:19:23 PM

those button things aren't on the strings, they're in the gaps between them. 5 gaps = 6 strings

i know plenty of people personally id put my own money on that can. I couldnt right now personally, ive been slacking lately and i need to keep droning on with scales and such

^ still doesnt make sense tho. you play 6 strings on a standard electric. not 5

11/17/2005 12:34:18 AM

last i checked you have to fret a string, not press the space between a string.

if you look at the guitar controller, the buttons are aligned to play more like chords rather than playing a particular string.

11/17/2005 12:40:30 AM

yea thats still weird and unnatural but its a game so oh well

11/17/2005 12:43:22 AM

11/17/2005 12:47:12 AM

So I've been playing this for a few hours. It's a hell of a lot of fun, even if you can actually play. A few moves here and there aren't intuitive for a real player, but the songs on the third level and above ("No One Knows", "Ziggy Stardust", "Take it Off", etc.) are too much fun to play.

11/27/2005 12:19:04 AM

It pissed me off when I showed this game to my little brother and he, who plays bass guitar, was already better than me after 3 songs.

11/27/2005 11:25:09 AM

This game is a blast - husband got it for Christmas and we've been playing it every day. It's addictive.

12/28/2005 2:16:56 PM

i beat the game on medium mode... hard mode is really kicking my ass. having to jump over to the fifth fret button is counterintuitive for me.

12/28/2005 4:09:57 PM

this has been consuming my life since christmas morning

i just beat the game on hard mode about an hour ago

[Edited on December 28, 2005 at 4:23 PM. Reason : .]

12/28/2005 4:23:21 PM

I'm thinking about picking this up. Is there a way to change the guitar for left-handers?

1/3/2006 7:48:28 PM

^Yep

1/3/2006 8:13:35 PM

the prob with setting it to left hand is the guitar is still designed for right handed players; ie, the whammy bar would be at the top and in the way of your strumming.

1/4/2006 12:37:06 AM

how much is it now?

1/4/2006 1:16:23 AM

GUGH

1/4/2006 9:14:29 AM

I just wish it wasn't still $70, and another $40-50 for a second controller, ugh

1/4/2006 11:14:31 PM

it's still cheaper on the whole than DDR, though.

1/5/2006 12:16:49 AM

This game is horrible. I am probably the best DDR person alive and I can just say that this game is one of the worst things ever!

1/5/2006 1:12:15 AM

because you suck? i suck at both and i think they're both fun

1/5/2006 1:13:29 AM

No i dont suck. I play DDR at the mall 4 times a week and people show up to watch me. And i beat this game in like 2 hours.

1/5/2006 1:25:38 AM

wow, I'm convinced

and you have just doomed the rest of your tww experience

congrats, no one will ever take you seriously again after that post

1/5/2006 2:13:10 AM

whatever, you are just jealous of my mad skills at DDR. If you didnt like DDR then you wouldnt have looked at this post. i could beat you any day of the week.

1/5/2006 2:20:32 AM

finished my guitar last night. turned out alright

1/15/2006 3:10:35 PM

that is awesome

1/15/2006 3:19:51 PM

this is by far one of the most addicting games i've ever played

i'd like to see it on xbox with an option to download songs to play

1/15/2006 3:21:15 PM

I was hanging out with vinylbandit last week and I tried it out. I must say that even though I have absolutely no musical talent and I have never once picked up a guitar in my entire life, this game was extremely fun.

1/15/2006 3:34:31 PM

The people who play DDR at the mall have BO like wowzers.
