Anyone play this? I don't play any instrument at all and I think it's very addicting and fun. I borrowed a friend's PS2 and bought the $85 guitar and game today just so I could play. lol

I just played it last night -- me and my friend 5 star everything --- but I'm only on hard/medium & the occasional expert, he can 5 star almost all the songs on expert... shock

Does this actually teach you how to play a guitar? I've been thinking about getting better with my guitar that I spent $300 on a few years ago. lol

According to my friend who plays guitar, if you don't know how to play guitar it doesn't help. But if you know how to play guitar fairly well, it will help you a lot with your finger agility once you get up to the hard/expert songs.

What's the amp for? ? Basically what a regular amp would do? Geez, Joe, you are good. I'm just starting out and I'm barely 5 staring the easy ones. lol

Yeah I read about that last month, most likely we will get that one too, lol. I jsut worry about TAC making guitars for the 360 since they dont like third part anything.

That's what the GameStop guy told me but I said I couldn't wait to play so I'm just going to get it now. lol I can't wait until they have it for the 360 though, I'm definitely going to buy it.

I can't wait for this game for 360. Definitely one of my most anticipated games. FREEBIRD AND KANSAS = God game.

Hah, that's the same guitar they were giving out for the Gears of War Emergence Day tournament, just without Gears of War logo.

If you like Rock music or just guitar in general, you will love this game. It's a music rhythm game to licensed (mostly good) music where you play the guitar/bass notes. The solos can get ridiculous and it's just awesome because of the controller. Check it out here

Be sure to watch some videos to see this crazy shit in action.

You don't necessarily have to like the guitar nor rock music to even like the game. I've never really tried to play a real guitar and I really enjoy this game. It's just fun to play because you have to hit certain buttons at certain times and it's all color coordinated. It's fun to have like a tournament or challenge your friends.

I am a big rock fan, especially classic rock when the amount of amazing guitar solos was just astounding. It's so hard waiting for the 360 version...I am so tempted to get it for PS2 but eh, Gears should keep my busy for a while...

I only played it once, but now I am seriously thinking about buying a ps3/2 and the game/controller just to play it.

Heh, I've been playing it all day. lol

does anyone know if they are re-releasing this for one of the newer consoles like ps3?

No. And why don't you just run it on a PS3 if you have one? Backwards compatibility isn't recent technology.

O yeah i forgot about that lmfao! haha thanks

GHII doesn't work on PS3. When you start up a PS3 with a PS/PS2 game in it, you are required to press the Playstation button in the center of the controller. Since the GHII Guitar SG controller doesn't have that button, it doesn't work. shrug

And it's coming out for the Xbox 360, matt.

Yeah they are on eBay but I really don't need a wireless controller for mine. However, they are a decent price.

I would love to buy this game.

Though, I've been spending my money on real music equipment recently, so I don't have spare cash for it. (

Guess I'm stuck playing Frets On fire[=http//louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/uv/fretsonfire/]Frets On fire for now.
