Guitar Hero II

Im suprised at how late bit is, my friend beat it on expert a week ago already.

Ots a good game when your hanging out, its usually out all night until we cant stand someone trying to beat freebird for the billionth time.

 

Well bit-tech isn't very big in comparison to the huge game review sites like IGN that, well, do games and thats about it.

It's also only recently come out in the UK.

Quite a few sites have news on the non-wireless 360 guitar, although it shouldn't be a problem at all really, all they need to do is stick thier own wireless stuff in a USB port like they do with the PS2 version. Not as steamlined as many would like but then it still beats having a wire. Does that mean MS are the only ones who make wireless controllers? Not wireless third party stuff?

Would be great if the speakers were of a better power, 5W aint that great, although for a tweeter it might be ok, I dunno

lol biggles!

 

I was expecting him to look like his avatar pic. Greatly disappointed

 

Whats an 'uber geek' ? Every week the bit-tech staff use the word 'uber?' Am I an uber geek for reading bit-tech. Are uber geeks different from the run of the mill geek? Is the use of uber geek an attempt to separate yourselves from the main stream run of the mill geeks?

 

I guess its ok then.

 

That's because the PS2 offers effectively no online feature. And no company is going to code one on an essentially "dead last gen" console. You can sure as hell expect the 360 will have the option though. You'll probably only get a half dozen tracks on the disk and you have to buy the rest.

 

Played it last night round at a mate's. Definitely underwhelmed by the lack of killer tracks but otherwise was having great fun. But last night wasn't really about fun, we were practicing for tomorrow when we're taking on Dragonforce in a video interview!! I'll report back with the results.

 

Heheh after thoes videos i want one

 

Noo... not again... i want to sit down and play my games... not jump around like an idiot..

 

Anyone play this left handed? Im having exceptional difficulty with this game. The normal way around (right hand strums) doesn't feel logical to me, but reversing it means the the green-red-yellow keys are back to front to the screen and my brain can't reverse it fast enough but it feels far more natural

 

meh :/ id rather play my Strat than a controller...

 

RTFM Lefty Flip for massive damage.

(You love it Bindi)

 

I didn't have the manual, it was someone elses PS2.

 

ahh well, one of the options is lefty flip, it mirrors the notes for you. Stops you goin mental.
