I don't know man...I mean I'm not saying I don't like the setlist, I'm just not sure I like it as much. I also don't really like the fact that certain songs are only available in cooperative play. Also, what's up with "Slither" by Velvet Revolver being in the commercial, but not on the game (or at least that I see)?

Haha, I'm sure it will grow on me. Basically I just hope that eventually they combine all of the previous songs (from all of the titles) and put it on one game but with the good hammer-on pull-off system.

I was under the impression most people, fans and critics alike, felt the GHII setlist was "easily forgettable".

Haha, yeah that's what I'm hearing. I dunno, maybe I just like it because I've played it so much.
