cant beat Bark At The Moon on extreme.. extremely frustrating after failing around 15 times today.

my goal is to get 5 stars on every song up until the last 4 on extreme.. not sure if ill ever have it in me to get 5 stars on Texas Flood, Frankenstein, Cowboys From Hell, Bark At The Moon.

still confident that this is the best game ever made.

dont you think Scheme is a bit long for the game? i was trying to narrow it down to shorter tunes.. Spunk would also be great.

Funny this thread should get bumped, I just saw and played the game for the first time yesterday at Best Buy. Sweet concept! As fun as it was, I gotta believe it would get boring watching the little dots come streaming down the screen over and over. For my first song I got beat up pretty good by Crossroads on easy, but then inexplicably owned face on Frankenstein medium, finishing with a "You Rock!"

Breakfast song of choice would be Puppetry.

Rather than play all the original solos, there should be about 24 buttons on the thing representing 2 octaves of notes. Your solo is judged based on how well you stay with in the chords, and building to crescendos, etc.

Great party game. Move over monkey ball!

finally beat Bark At The Moon on Expert. not an easy task and quite frustrating when you fail at 97% complete four straight times.

yea, that\'s different though, there\'s no need to make the guitar wireless except that you\'re a nerd and need something to do

as for frogger, I used to own that game on atari when I was a wee-lad, now, well, yea, I suck. I did tear up the bowling game though after 4 mediocre games, one 10-pin short in the 9th frame of a perfect game. baseball stars on the other hand, no dice.

Guitar Hero to encore

Those of you tired of us banging on so much about Guitar Hero a month before you can even buy it in the UK (April 7th remember!) will be pleased to hear that we ought to be banging on about it for at least another couple of years, as Kelly Sumner, CEO of publisher RedOctane, has told MCV we\'ll see a further "five or six" titles by the middle of 2007.

"We are working on Guitar Hero 2, which will have 40-plus new tracks," Sumner told MCV. He also confirmed that genre spin-offs including Country Rock for the US and a Metal edition are on the cards. He even pointed to further possibilities for the peripheral, adding, "you could absolutely do a plug and play version".

The first edition of Guitar Hero, which is a PS2 exclusive at the moment, is largely rock and metal focused as you\'d expect, with everything from Bad Religion and Ozzy Osbourne to David Bowie, Queen and Queens of the Stone Age. Dunno why I picked those five, but I did.

And in case you\'ve not been keeping track at all, Guitar Hero is a game with a slightly scaled down Gibson guitar peripheral where you have to hold down frets and strum a bit of plastic that tilts up or down to simulate the string movement, all the while music plays and little prompts tell you when to strum, when to hold notes and so on. As you get better, you use up to five frets, and combinations become ridiculously troublesome. Having been going a bit mad on the US version, we\'re expecting it to be a big deal when it hits the UK next month for ?50 including one guitar. Were you to have two of course, you could play together. Rocking.

so, wouldn\'t it be easier for them just to release new games with new tracks (is that what they\'re doing? or are they releasing gh2 with new guitar to buy too?)

im sure its going to have both options.. the first game had an average price of $75 for the full package and like $50 for just the game.

great news dave! cant wait to see a new track list.
