I done the whole game, but not with five stars all the way through. That would be TOO intense, although having said that, GH2 is going to be set at a higher difficulty. Also in multi player there is the option to play bass parts as well as 2 different guitar parts.

I have never played Guitar Hero, but would like to.

However, I have played the original arcade game that it ripped off....Guitar Freaks

the neck only had 3 buttons, but after 2 years of playing it, iw as fucking awesome. Think the last version I played was 5th Mix, which incidentally, you could hook up with the drum freaks game and play as a 3 piece.

ahhh, the days of being a teenager living in Abu Dhabi.

The learning curve on the first game was very smooth i thought.

Of course you will be shite on the hardest song on the hardest level if you dive in there first.

If you work your way through all the songs from beginning to end on easy then through the difficulties, they've done a great job of introducing slightly harder licks then speeding it up a bit then chucking in harder buttons as you go through slowly bit by bit. Am currently half way through Hard and its not nearly as bad as i thought it would be when i had my first stab at it.

No need for the rant really, its was just one of the main things that struck me about the first one that it's learning curve was very organic.

I cant find a release date for the 360 version on any website. Is it the same date as the PS2 version?

I dont want to have to wait ages but i will just for the downloadable content.

The 360 one is only pencilled in for Spring so far. No news if it will be same tracks as the PS2 GH2, a Xbox360 'best of' of the two, or brand new. I'm going to be a sad bastard and buy them both!

This is out tomorrow (Friday 24th November). There is some shitty songs in it, but as you get further into the game it becomes more interesting. Also the co-op mode is the best thing ever. One gets to be lead guitar and the other either bass or rhythm depending on the song. Loads of great unlockable songs including tracks from shadows fall, and all that remains, and even buckethead!!!
