Guitar Hero 2

is really fun. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/777/777444p1.html definitely an addictive party-type game, the graphics aren't that impressive but that ain't what it's about. the first time you nail "Woman" by Wolfmother or "You Really Got Me" a la Van Halen it's a great feeling. I still suck at the game, tried to play "Message In A Bottle" by the Police and got booed off stage pretty quickly.

anyways, I highly recommend this game.

Oh, and, the technical term for when you butcher the song is to "McFly the shit out of it." as in Back to the Future, when marty's hand starts disappearing and he can't play guitar for shit.

I completely agree. It is the entire reason I am trying to buy PS2.

we have 2 guitars at my house, and pro face off is the greatest thing ever. You think message in a bottle is bad? Wait till you hit YYZ and Hangar 18.

I've been hooked on this one for a while. It's hilarious to see someone who's usually pretty reserved hit the zone and get right into it.
Some crazy vids on you-tube.

I bought the game for my step daughter for christmas and it wouldn't work with our old beater PS2. I found some info in a few forums about peeps having similiar probs. I need to get it out of the closet and get it going. It's only been 5 months.

I used to sell the software that they used to make Guitar Hero.It's AutoCAD and I met the team from Cambridge that designed it, they were in for some training at our office in Watertown about a year ago.
Red Octane got bought by Konami, or something like that. Now, they have the big juice $$$ to really market and distibute the game. It's one of the BEST vid games EVER.

Why don't you try Amazon or Ebay?

Are you the one that loves metal? or is that someone else?

Anyway, being able to play "Six" from All That Remains, or "The Light That Blinds" by Shadows Fall is pretty f'ing sweet!

"Six" on expert is just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

It's also featured at this year's Defcon, fwiw.

Jordan on expert is probably 1000 times harder than playing the song on a real guitar. Supposedly, it has never been done at 100% on expert.
