For the record, I haven't actually played the game, I just know that they gave Judy Nails "jiggle physics." You'd think they could put that money towards some quality control.

I sucked it up and bought it last nice, GH2 Xplorer guitar and everything.

My guitar is defective. But I got 100% on Even Flow and School's Out my first try on medium. So I'm of mixed feelings.

The Devil Came Down to Georgia is INSANE! On medium it is kicking my ass. My friend couldn't beat it on hard, and he played Expert on GH2.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #53 on:** 31 Oct 2007, 19:18 »

Seriously?

I had no trouble dealing with Lou. Slash kicked my ass a few times, but Lou seemed pretty tame.

Through the Fire and Flames is ****ing absurd, though.

Renalia · « **Reply #54 on:** 31 Oct 2007, 20:43 »

I hate Raining Blood so much.

It's like noise with some notes thrown in.

Cliffs of Dover is fucking amazing though.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #55 on:** 31 Oct 2007, 21:03 »

that is kind of the point of Through the Fire and Flames, it is supposed to be pretty much impossible to do

Thy Dungeonman · « **Reply #56 on:** 01 Nov 2007, 09:16 »

I can beat Through Fire and Flames on Hard, but I can't get past 1% on expert.

That is the general premise of Slayer in general.

How did you even get it? I bought GHIII today and the song wasn't in the store. Do you unlock it at some point in the game?

I've seen the opening riff; as a tip, keep your index finger held down on the green button the whole time and use your other three fingers to hit the other notes.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #59 on:** 03 Nov 2007, 15:39 »

You unlock it by beating career mode. You play it during the credits, but aren't rewarded or anything based on how well you do, AFAIK.

SilentJ · « **Reply #60 on:** 03 Nov 2007, 15:52 »

Then this shall be happening tonight! Thanks.

I stuck my cock in line and got it at work before it sold out.

I took it home, then had one go at Jordan to say that I cleared GHII for personal satisfaction before I started on GH3.

As I did this, the graphics flashed and turned really blocky. I restarted the console, only this time I didn't get polygons. In fact, I didn't get anything. The video was completely shot.

It is now being repaired and will return to me in "up to 60 days".

Believe me, that's what I do, but my other fingers can't move fast enough. Or I haven't played it enough to know when to hit which button. I should try it a few more times.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #64 on:** 03 Nov 2007, 20:40 »

I've almost 5-starred all of Medium now, only missing Knight of Cydonia (don't know why I can't do it) and Raining Blood (fuck Slayer). I'm over halfway through Hard now, too. Same Old Song and Dance is messing with me and I fear the Slash battle afterward, because Tom Morello kicked my ass over and over.

Cire27 · « **Reply #65 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 16:48 »

I just want to know if they fucked up Holiday in Cambodia.

Xerostyle · « **Reply #66 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 17:20 »

I still like GH1 the best, but 3 definitely has a better tracklist than 2 or 80s.

None of the songs were frustrating, but some of them were really hard.

Raining Blood was stupid hard, but now I beat it without any Star Power.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #67 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 18:04 »

HELL YES.

I just five-starred all of Medium. Raining Blood took, like...15 tries, but I nailed that bitch. My left arm hurts so much now.

I also got to the Slash battle on Hard and was promptly thrashed.

No, it's done pretty well, guitar feedback intro and all.

SilentJ · « **Reply #69 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 20:59 »

So I was misguided in my arrogance.

Raining Blood and One on expert are hard as shit. I am stuck.

Cliffs of Dover was hella tight, though. I wish I'd heard this song before I played the game.

Gressory · « **Reply #70 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 06:49 »

When they are showing people during the credits, one of the guys has an "Evolution Kills" t-shirt on.

Thy Dungeonman · « **Reply #71 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 12:09 »

Raining Blood on Hard is hard as shit. I've passed every other song on Hard, and that includes Dragonforce.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #72 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 14:09 »

The problem with Guitar Hero is that I'm such an obsessive compulsive completionist about games I like. When I got it, I told myself I wasn't going to play Easy. I don't care about the achievements. I don't care about the guitars.

...

That lasted a week, I guess. Easy is painful as hell. Soooo sloooooowww.... But at least you get money in this one. Not too much, but enough that I've completed my Outfit/Styles collection and should end up with enough by the end of the career for a new character or a few guitars.

Heh, I'm the same way... I spiced it up this time by playing through mostly Lefty Flip for that acheivement, but when I was doing it in GH2 I actually 4 starred Freya when going through it because I dozed off in the middle. To be fair, I was really tired, but still, not supposed to fall asleep during Guitar Hero.

I finally 5-starred Hard last night, Knights of Cydonia is such a stupid song to 5 star. Now I need to bust through Medium for some more cash, and then I get to throw my head against Raining Blood Expert until I beat it.

does anyone know if it's been released here in the UK yet?

I got a 4 Star on Barracuda because the notes were so damn slow I could not time it right

Ozymandias · « **Reply #77 on:** 08 Nov 2007, 09:52 »

I started playing Easy with only two fingers to make it more interesting and give me more practice moving my fingers around for Hard/Expert. Not too bad after that.

just-another-andy · « **Reply #78 on:** 08 Nov 2007, 17:31 »

I still play GH II on hard/expert with 3 fingers.

It seems to work out well for me oddly enough.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #79 on:** 24 Nov 2007, 11:46 »

Alright, I hate to necro threads, but I have a question for you folks.

I bought the 360 Guitar Hero III bundle for my woman for Christmas. I intend to get Guitar Hero 2 as well and I was wondering if I should just get the Bundle for 2, or if the guitar for 3 is enough better thats it's worth the few extra bucks to get it separately.

dennis · « **Reply #80 on:** 25 Nov 2007, 00:18 »

Well, the GH3 guitar is better than the GH2 guitar, in my opinion (speaking from the 360 perspective). Wireless, and the feel of the fret buttons is better. Also, the GH2 Xplorer is oddly-shaped, and a lot of people find it uncomfortable to use sitting down.

just-another-andy · « **Reply #81 on:** 25 Nov 2007, 07:10 »

GH III was just released here a couple of days ago!

Played it twice in two local game stores in just as many hours. hehe
It's so much better than II and a helluva lot harder or so I found.

After that I went round to a friend's house to play it on his ps3 with HDMI tv.
allll night

He'd bought the game soley for Through the Fire and the Flames and when we finally got there we started jumping around like kids.

They still never got the drummer physics right but everything else seems to be 100% improved.

I'm happy with it ^ ^

pistachio_love · « **Reply #82 on:** 25 Nov 2007, 08:42 »

I'm not too keen on the set lists for Guitar Hero III... Then again, the previous two versions I wasn't that hot for either... *shrugs*

just-another-andy · « **Reply #83 on:** 25 Nov 2007, 09:04 »

I find I develop a taste for the songs after a couple of listens. I then download ALL their discographies.
Except freezepop.
Never freezepop.

just-another-andy · « **Reply #85 on:** 25 Nov 2007, 13:24 »

hearing your friends play less talk more rokk for 2 hours straight trying co-op Hard mode is grounds enough to wish they didn't exist.

Johnny C · « **Reply #86 on:** 25 Nov 2007, 15:10 »

Guys I don't really care for GHIII as much. It feels like they've gone for trying to cram in as many notes as possible instead of making you feel like you're actually playing the song.

Why would you do this

Apparently, a lot of people, as this is the most common complaint about the Xplorer controller.

I entirely approve the previous few posts. My friend likes to rock out like he's playing a sitar.

And yes, he is Indian.

Freezepop ripped me off.

That said, I love the song just like I love any children I might have regardless of whether or not they were kidnapped.

Knights of Cydonia is kicking my asse so hard.

Raining blood is just NO.
and Through the Fire and the Flames is making me cry like a baby.

i played this (on easy) yesterday afternoon and it was quite fun, especially when stoned! for those of you who've played both this and rock band, which is better for solo players (or at most 2 players)?

Long time waiting but Guitar Hero is simply better for solo or 2 player. Much cheaper too.

A friend's buying Rock Band when it's officially released over here; We have about 4 eager players all pretty seasoned from guitar hero who'll be up for that.

The vocal and drum elements for Rock Band giive a better multiplayer appeal to the game.

I'll let the thread die peacefuly now.
