Guitar Hero II (Xbox 360)

[Myth]

Has anyone noticed that the D-Pad is all buggered, the up and down are back to front. Try writing a text message with that !

I thought it was meant to be like that, when holding the guitar down is facing down. I found it fairly easy myself.

how do you "combo" through a song then in order to get the gold stars?

gonna try and finish hard tonight, then go through easy!

Don't miss any notes...

[AaronBekir]

I can't believe people play this on extreme, to be honest I can't believe people are even playing it hard...

This is a game where the difficulty warrants the name "insane" I can tell ya.

The frustrating thing for me is that because the songs are "covers" they've lengthened some (heart shaped box) which means on the songs I do know, even them I have to re-learn!

[Keith]

Not all of the songs are covers, but yeah, there are some where the differences are pretty noticeable.

My whole upper body is aching - been playing this all day!

how do you get an encore? I haven't even ventured off easy mode yet

Loving it so far but can only play in short bursts as as I can't get comfortable holding the guitar

[AaronBekir]

once you complete all 5 songs on the set, after the last one you will be asked, you can accept or decline.

You only get encores on difficulty settings above easy. Had a bash on hard and don?t think I?ll ever be able to manage it

You gotta believe!

Medium difficulty by about gig number 5 is the same difficulty as the first gig on Hard. The extra button is obviously the main stumbling block but it will suddenly 'click' into place within a few tries.

It's well worth making the jump up to Hard, the game really opens up.

One of the Achievements involves refusing an Encore. Presumably you still unlock the song to play separately though..?

Yes

[roobarb]

so to reiterate an earlier question.......... has anybody tried using a PS2 guitar with a PSX-USB adapter yet?

[Jebus]

So what's the point in an encore? There is no achievement for doing one, only refusing one! Wierd.

I still don't like the fact that so much is off-limits to easy players, my wife will NEVER get above easy, I think it's unfair to limit her gaming experience because she's not as good as the game as me. There's at least 10 (or more) tracks she'll never get to play because she can't access the shop to buy them.

If i remeber once tracks are unlocked they are playable on all settings in quickplay mode.
