LOL @ "Thunderhorse" by Dethklok!!! (Adult Swim FTW!)

ROFL @ "Trogdor" by Strong Bad!!! (Homestar Runner FTW!)

[Hulud]

i might actually pick this up, everytime i die, lamb of god, shadows fall, nirvana, GnR?

fuck yea!

[HyPer50]

i read the review and it seemed cool, only thing is it cost a bit doesn't it? whats the final price on it with the guitar and all that mess?

[Hulud]

prolly 70, that is what the first one cost i believe

[HyPer50]

it plays similar to like the DDR style right? kinda like once the certain button appears on screen you gotta hit it, except it's on a guitar instead of pad on the ground? lol

[ShooterMcGavin]

yeah, another beat/music oriented game.

[Bishop]

oh shit....the first one was hard enough for me lol

[Maverick]

shibby!!! and yes i used that word, deal with it

[GTScoob]

Damn they're actually going to have some good songs in the new one. War Pigs should be fun to play along with the cock-rock songs.

I think I'll wait for my roomie to buy it but then I'm not going to be able to play GT4 for prolly 2 weeks until he's beat the whole thing on expert.

[GTScoob]

Yeah, imagine air-guitaring along to Freebird but you're actually holding a guitar with fret buttons, a whammy bar, and a little pick button for strumming. Its a very addicting game.

[Ran]

Comes out tomorrow! Hells yea!

Also, for those who have no idea what "Trogdor" is. Watch this vid.

"TROGDOOOOOOORRR!!" :lmfao:

[Tarzanman]

I already beat it on medium with my roommate on Friday. Played co-op with 2 groups of friends on Saturday and Sunday

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^how'd u get it early?

[Sport1.3]

^^^how'd u get it early?

i call BS!...cuz i dont have it yet :no:

[Tarzanman]

No BS, I have the game and so does a friend of mine. The Target in Kennessaw broke the street date last week. They sold a few copies on Thursday by accident. I also read a few posts by people around the country who got it at their local Wal-mart stores a few days early.

I'm not the only one to have gotten it early... there are a few people who claimed to have beaten it on expert already. I have played a few of the songs on expert and hard.

The two new multiplayer modes are fun (co-op and pro face off). The only problem with co-op is that the bass lines get pretty boring after you've played a couple of them.

My favorite songs at the moment is Monkeywrench (really tiring on your strumming hand because the entire song is 8th notes). I couldn't beat it on expert until I played through it two times in practice mode at a slower speed.

[ShooterMcGavin]

lucky bastard, oh well, i'll have it soon enough :goodjob:

[Ran]

This game is awesome. A lot harder than the first too. I got 73% thru Freebird on Hard and my hand cramped up. Good stuff! :goodjob:

[Sport1.3]

Beat it through Medium...way better than the first... more metal=better

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

played it at work.. hotness....

sidenote: game release dates are different from movie release dates

there a no penalties whatsoever when letting games out a week/days out before its initial release date

I don't know why, but you can sell them

dvds, if you sell them before their release date, you can be PENALIZED

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^pretty sure retailers still prohibit releasing games early. i know target does for one.

[ShooterMcGavin]

This game is awesome. A lot harder than the first too. I got 73% thru Freebird on Hard and my hand cramped up. Good stuff! :goodjob:
damn, i'm only like through 4 or 5 sets on hard, my hand started to hurt too :D

[Sport1.3]

Lamb of God on hard is fucking insane.....this version is definitly way harder than the 1st...though the Hammer ons and pull offs are much easier for some reason and using select for the star power instead of shaking it really works better for me

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

they might be "prohibited"

but their not penalized for leaking it out early

[ShooterMcGavin]

^^^yeah well i don't expect anyone to send employees to the chopping block for doing it, just saying it's definitely frowned upon :D

[ShooterMcGavin]

using select for the star power instead of shaking it really works better for me
didn't know that, but that'd only be cool if u can disable the shaking activation altogether, cuz i hate it when it activates it when i don't mean for it to.

[Sport1.3]

see i have the opposite prob...i have to shake the shit outta the thing to get it to turn on and it always fucks me up....seriously on the first game i would violently thrash about to turn it on...or just say fuck it and not use it...now its sooo easy just to click select with the pick hand

[Ran]

seriously on the first game i would violently thrash aboutTrue story. Fun to watch too.

[Tarzanman]

[slideordie86]

yea i bought it the day it came out the songs on this one are alot better, im working on beating it on expert right now, i have a few more songs to go. but ive been playing guitar for about 4 years now so i have a lsight advantage. my mom even plays it.

[GTScoob]

A history of guitar actually makes the game harder according to everyone I've seen. SPort20, you could hit select in the first one.

Finally borrowed it from a friend yesterday, my roommate beat the entire game on hard in 5 hours. Lotsa good metal in this one.

[ShooterMcGavin]

5 hrs??? holy shit...hard wasn't that hard in my opinion, only song i had to play more than once was freebird (took the 3rd try to beat that one :P)

[devinwebb907]

someone explain this to me please. i can play guitar, but how do you play this game. do the tabs show up on the screen and you play as it goes along, kinda like DDR? or what? dont call me an idiot, im not big on video games these days.

[ShooterMcGavin]

yep, it's ddr w/your hands and a guitar.

[candy2082002]

Yep so I love this game my Fiance got through freebird on his first try he rocks at this game. I am getting better, but not as good as him :(

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

I wish I bought it a week ago at Toys R Us..

for those who don't know.. theres a WIRELESS GUITAR for the game now.. called the axe or something.. its hot shit
