lol my bad i didnt read the whole thread, thats badass if they can pull it off it would be really cool đź‘Ť
 
I forgot to mention how awesome the co-op is in this game. You get to pick to be either bass, rhythm, or lead on most of the songs. With surround sound you can hear the left person on the left and the right person on the right and the audience in the backround. If the left person is playing bass then you hear the bass through the left speaker. Same with the person on the right. They hear their style of guitar. Its really cool how they did some of the songs with this too. Some of the songs she would start in on lead then I would join in with rhythm or bass. We also have to do the star power at the same time.
I was also thinking drum hero would be cool. Even set up some pedals on the floor so you could pound out double bass in some of the heavier songs. :)
 
Now a Drum hero game would definately be awesome! :D Imagine doing some of the crazy kick pedal patterns from Lamb of God. :drool:
 
My sister is getting into this game now.... She's on easy, still trying to get past the 3rd one.


She won't let me play... :(


Time to go kick her off! :dopey:
 
I'm almost done on easy, but once I complete it I'm going to go back and get 5 stars on a couple of the songs I got 4 on. I would like to get that achievement.

What did everyone name their band?

Mine is Drywall.
 
Last night I finally bought some music from the in game store. I was surprised that there was actually at least 6-7 songs in there that I liked. 5 of them were quite heavy too!! I also have to say the bonus songs are much harder to play. I had about $3,500 and spent it all on songs. Does anyone know how to unlock more guitars in the co-op? I unlocked 3 or 4 bass guitars but I cant seem to unlock any lead guitars.
Currently I can play almost every single song on medium. Some are tough but most I can get around 90%. Still having a hard time with the blue and red at the same time notes.
 
You only unlock bass-guitars on co-op. Lead guitars you have to buy on the store.

Yeah, the bonus songs are usually harder. They're not covers also.
 
Some of the cover songs are terrible, Carry on Wayward Son made me laugh at how poorly it was sung.

Really? I liked this one a lot, close enough to the original in my opinion.

I didn't like the vocals on Sweet Child O' Mine though.
 
Wait till you guys get good enough to mess with Expert, thats when the games gets really fun. Hardest song in the game is "Jordan", a bonus song. "Six" is hard too for the first few times. I dont like the feel of the X-plorer. To used to the SG.
 
Well I just beat the easy, time to move on to medium. I'm not bad at medium but I need quite a bit of practice to get it 5 stars on each song.

Anyone else get a spinning TV when they play for to long?
 
So is every happy with this game? Surprises, disappointments?
 
The only complaint I have (bear in mind I only have the PS2 version at the moment, and I've only played the 360 demo at Best Buy) is that the whammy bar is loose and it hangs down. I don't know if this is how the real controller is, or if it was just broken because it was a demo product. My only other slight gripe is that the neck is thinner than the the PS2 controller, but I'm sure it's easy to adjust to.


Pako: I just saw your sig, :lol:
 
There has been issues with the controller if you look on the xbox forum, I haven't had a problem with it and I just think it's because some people abuse their stuff.

Is the issue the hanging whammy bar? (hahaha :D) I personally like the design of the 360 controller over that of the PS2 version. The body is slimmer and that makes it more comfortable to strum.

We have been absolutely loving this game. Especially on co-op. I have been playing on medium she has been switching from easy to medium and I think I am getting good enough to start trying expert. Its just so much fun having the stereo cranked in surround sound ripping out song after song with my girlfriend. Its very rewarding when we both finish in the green with over 95%. Especially on some of the extremely fast paced songs that have you just ripping away on the guitar trying not to mess up. The heavy songs are awesome!! It really gives you the feeling that your playing a real guitar at times Because if you mess up you can hear the errors through the surround sound. If I am on left I can hear my left guitar. If its bass I hear the bass. When she is on the right and ripping out solos my left speaker goes silent and she just ripps away. Then as I join back in with bass or rythym the song combines the speakers and the croud cheers in the rear surround sound speakers. Its very exciting and I have even yelled out in excitement when I survived a couple of the surprise tough riffs that they throw at you. I even nailed my first 100% song last night. :)
Plus you get to buy clothes, characters, bass guitars, rythym guitars, songs, lead guitars, and encores with the money you get from playing gigs. We are extremely happy with this game and it really lived up to our expectations. Now she even found out how to make the wammy bar work for her as a lefty so that makes it even more fun. đź‘Ť đź‘Ť You should check it out for sure bro. I bet you get hooked right away especially after you find a couple songs you like to play or if you play co-op with someone side by side. đź‘Ť
lmao at Pako's signature.
 
Picked it up myself yesterday and i had a hard time going to bed... so primed up and stuff. The game is great!

As far as I can tell, yes. I haven't had a problem with mine but like I said I think a lot of it comes from abuse of the controller.

I like the PS2 controller better, the shape of the guitar on the 360 is a little weird since I play sitting down (yes I'm lazy).
 
@CAMAROBOY69,

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to check out Best Buy today and see what all the fuss is about. :)

My wife will poop a brick when I tell her I bought a new guitar, but the $80 price tag is more palatable than the $4599 bass I've been looking at. :D
 
lol, im going to buy it when i get the money. Is there any more lamb of god or any more metel songs (cradle of filth)?
 
Only Lamb the have is Laid to Rest and its was a surprise to me when i first played the song because i had never heard their music but i knew who they were. I fell in love with LoG after that and i even made "Descending" in the game frets on fire for pc since i like that song off of Sacrament.

Only Cradle I'd like to see are Lord Abortion , All hope in Eclipse and Devil Woman.

Start playing standing up. You will improve a lot faster. I used to only play sitting down, but I started to stand while playing I have seriously improved a ton in just a week. It makes it a whole lot easier to alternate pick the really fast parts*.


*See the song Six on Expert.
 
Thanks, I'll give up the laziness and see what happens.
 
id kill for "the black goddess rises" and there cover of iron madens hallowed be thy name. I looked on gameinformer and thay said there was i bit of iron maden that was exclusive to the 360? Wich songs?
 
Camaroboy, are you seriously thinking about switching from medium to expert? I suggest some work on hard if you are still on medium. It took me a long time on hard to be able to play on expert, and even then I have to use star power through the solos of several songs.
