Guitar Hero 2[views:11693][posts:63]_________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 9:06am - thegreatspaldino ""] Anyone else like this game series? I bought 2 monday at midnight and played the fuck out of this game. its pretty fun to play with a bunch of friends. Musically all of the songs are recorded very well and sound amazingly like the original. the vocalists on some songs, like the Lamb of God song, are kinda... out of place and shitty, but whatever. the game overall is much harder than the first and that also makes it fun. its funny because more than half the songs i could probably play on a real guitar and bass but have a hard time passing on Hard mode (not even Expert!). |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 9:14am - FuckIsMySignature ""] I bought GH last year and almost beat it but the disc malfunctioned and wouldnt play past the 2nd to last song. I tried to exchange it for another one but they were out of stock for months so i just took the cash. Cant wait to play GH2. LOG is on this one? Thats badass. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 9:35am - thegreatspaldino ""] LOG is on it, as well as Shadows Fall, All That Remains, DethKlok, Strongbad (trogdor obviously), Anthrax, Megadeth, Voivod, all sorts of stuff. the career mode this time around is slightly different. you play 3 songs and then you are asked if you want to do an "encore". do it, you get a sponsorship for a ton of cash everytime. the final encore is hilarious. |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 9:37am - FuckIsMySignature ""] TROGDOR!!! Burninating the countryside! |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 9:42am - thegreatspaldino ""] that song on hard is actually really hard, haha |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 10:12am - KillerKadoogan ""] which anthrax and voivod songs? i also heard there was some Dick Dale afoot. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 10:20am - FuckIsMySignature ""] Dick Dale owns |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 10:44am - thegreatspaldino ""] yeppo... Dick dale i think is the hardest song in the game. Mirislou i think it is. Anthrax = Madhouse (one of my favorite ones) and the Voivod song i dont remember... its off their newest album. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 2:44pm - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] Playing it now, just going through the motions to win all the cool guitars on Easy and Medium, and then going to fly through hard and onto expert. Should be fun, and the game is a blast with drunk. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 2:47pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i definitely wanna check this out. i played the original one for the first time a couple weeks ago and it's definitely a good time. it is funny how it's harder to play songs that you already know how to play(i lost to a kid who doesn't even play guitar but just plays that game religiously) he was playin behind his head and shit...it's like the new ddr or something |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 3:41pm - xanonymousx ""] i heard everytime i die is on this as well.... as an unlockable. atleast they are putting out what is sorta going on in today music community rather than just rock/pop rock |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 3:55pm - i_am_not_dumpface ""] TROGDOR!!!!!!!! NIIICE!!!!!!! |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 4:23pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i think guitar world has a lot to do with this game and they're pretty on top of their shit when it comes to up-and-coming bands |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 5:13pm - xanonymousx ""] my ps2 works now i might just pick this up |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 7:11pm - thegreatspaldino ""] everytime i die is on this... but they are fucking terrible... its from their new horrible cd... and by that i mean their new cd is even more horrible than they already were. avenged sevenfold is also on this. its so fagtastic. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 8:54pm - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] My favorite song to play so far is either "Message in a Bottle" by The Police or "Thunderhorse" by Dethklok |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 9:04pm - SlavonicIdentity ""] What Megadeth tune is on it? |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 8,2006 9:29pm - thegreatspaldino ""] hangar 18 |
| _____________________________ [Nov 8,2006 11:15pm - Dar ""] Yeah, I ' love these games. I was outside EB games waiting for them to open yesterday so I could play before class, hadn't done that in yeeears. This one has a lot of really gay songs on it, but Anthrax rule, Megadeth rule, Freebird totally fuckin rules and I love that they put a couple hair metal tunes on...Cherry Pie is a favorite, wish it was a better Van Halen song though. I think it's gonna be a while before I can beat some of these on expert, they really made the difficulty pretty satisfying. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 8:54am - SteveOTB ""] I loved the first one. Playing "Bark At The Moon" on medium alone was an absolute song of a bitch, "Peace Sells" was probably my favorite to play on the first. I definately need to pick both of these up. |

The solo to bark at the moon was fuckin ridiculous...but once i got shitfaced for some reason i was then able to beat it. ahhh booze. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 11:05am - Blasphemy ""] Local boys Graveyard BBQ are on GH I and their track is the best on it. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 11:12am - FuckIsMySignature ""] Blasphemy said:Local boys Graveyard BBQ are on GH I and their track is the best on it. i thought i recognized that name |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 11:28am - Blasphemy ""] Yup! They rock, probably the best song on the game, i dont know bout II though! |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 7:21pm - thegreatspaldino ""] i've been playing that shadows fall song a shit ton... im really close to getting atleast 99% on hard on that song. the all that remains song is harder, still getting about 90% on that song on hard too. i think Madhouse is unneccesarily hard on expert though. that song itself is really easy to play except for the solo (because i havent ever played a guitar solo, ever). |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 8:36pm - CrimsonBladeDrummer ""] first time thorugh the game i played on expert and the only songs i couldnt beat and still havent are institutionalized by suicidal tendencies, hangar 18 an freebird, dick dale and avenged sevenfold are a bitch too. Thunderhorse was difficult on expert but nothing a good guitar hero cant get down first try |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 9:10pm - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] Institutionalized is fucking nuts on Expert. I tried forever, but just gave up. Thank science for the new practice mode. Makes learning parts so much easier. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 9,2006 9:56pm - xanonymousx ""] i played this game today how much is it with the guitar controller? |

But yeah "Symphony of Destruction" was probably my favorite to play. |

| _____________________________ [Nov 10,2006 8:36pm - Dar ""] Hangar 18 on Expert is my new favorite, it's so fuckin killer all the way through...I love the way they made the hammer ons and pull offs a little easier on this one, it feels much more natural Haven't beat it yet, I get like 90% every time...same with Institutionalized (which has got to be one of the dumbest songs ever written) and I don't think I'll ever beat Misirlou |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:20pm - xanonymousx ""] this game is addicting |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:28pm - cavboredatwork ""] GH2 is the best video game since mike tysons punch out for nintendo |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:50pm - xanonymousx ""] i went crazy and beat easy and medium bought all of the songs played through them i am 1/4 way through hard |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 3:02pm - thegreatspaldino ""] 250k with one star power on Light That Blinds. im the same way with Hangar 18... i get to 90% and i poop out... |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 27,2006 9:00am - FuckIsMySignature ""] this game gave me carpal tunnel syndrome. i can only beat one song on expert....SHOUT AT THE DEVIL!!! |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 27,2006 7:28pm - xanonymousx ""] damn i am on hard right now and can't get past the encore song on the second stage... i think i am going to do three songs a day or i will try. and i agree with you this gave will give you carpal tunnel faster than playing a regular guitar. does anyone else get dizzy when playing this game? |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 27,2006 7:31pm - xanonymousx ""] TROGDOR! |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 27,2006 9:33pm - i_am_not_logged_in ""] 5-starred Thunderhorse on expert. After like a week's worth of effort. Still haven't gotten through Jordan or Hangar 18, although the latter wouldn't be a problem if star power would actually WORK when I use it. I pulled off Institutionalized today after a few days effort, and Misirlou on the first try (Fuckin' hard, but I did it) Still gotta 5-star most of the other songs on Expert, though. Then I have to go back down to 5-star hard, and then play through medium...why do I have to play backward like that? |
| _____________________________ [Nov 27,2006 9:42pm - Dar ""] Yeah, I finally beat it like a week ago. If you're stuck on a song like Hangar 18, I suggest using the Hyperspeed "code." It makes the game scroll faster, so you play the exact same way but the notes are spaced further apart, which may or may not make it easier for you on the songs with crazy solos. Personally, I think it makes the solo-crazy songs a LOT more fun simply because you can actually tell what you're supposed to do, feels more intuitive. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 27,2006 11:22pm - Kevord ""] I bought it tonight cause of all the positive comments in this post. It's fucking awesome. But after a couple of songs my hand fucking hurts. |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 29,2006 11:21am - i_am_not_logged_in ""] Six is a fucking workout on expert. I can still only 3-star it. |

I found on certain tracks it makes it alot easier to tell what to do rather than just pulling pud and going on instinct. On Hanger 18 on expert? The solos are fucking tough on that one but I'll give it a shot. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 4,2006 8:32pm - xanonymousx ""] carry me home is currently kicking my ass its funny since if i get past the intro i make it 90% through and if not i just mess it up i have $10,220 in this i have all of the songs what should i buy? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 4,2006 8:36pm - xanonymousx ""] and where do you activate hyperspeed mode from i know its a code but where do i put that in |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 4,2006 8:54pm - hung_to_bleed ""] I thought guitar hero was cool until my girlfriend convinced me that it was gay and that it was much cooler to shred a real guitar. Maybe if I liked smacking my dick a little less than I do, I'd find the time and $$ to pick this one up. Until then, I'm going to stick to SOCOM and Call of Duty. |
| ____________________________ [Dec 4,2006 9:04pm - Dar ""] activate it from the main menu where you pick career/quickplay etc |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 5,2006 7:56am - thegreatspaldino ""] less talk more rokk is really really gay... but its soooooo fun to play on expert. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 5,2006 9:15am - babyshaker nli ""] thunderhorse is my favorite song to play on this game |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 5,2006 10:33am - FuckIsMySignature ""] FREEBIRD!!! fuckin GH3 better have Stairway To Heaven on it or i'm gonna be wicked pissed. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 25,2007 12:09am - xanonymousx ""] I'm still stuck on crazy on you expert. i got 91% today then i but my fingers on the wrong place and failed it i almost threw my controller through the tv.... i can beat the songs that come after it its just that song i hate it. thunderhorse is one of my favorites to play its like my warm up song haha |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 25,2007 12:37am - y_ddraig_goch ""] I love Miserlou such a good song |
