Gitaroo Man appreciation thread

[CurryKitten]

This was always on my list of "If I ever get a PS2, then I must get this game", well my wife got me a PS2 for Xmas, and I think i picked this up on boxing day

Funny how diffenrent people find different bits hard, I played through the games pretty quickly, and managed everything first go except the skeletal blokes, the the last two stages. I found the last stage in particular really tough.

I think this would be a lot easier if the ps2's stick gave an indication of where it was (the GC stick has notches in each of the 8 directions) A few times I thought I was holding the stick upwards, only to fall out of the line - a glance at the stick showed me it was just off centre, causing me to go off the line.

Master mode is a bitch isn't it, I've gone back in an attempt to get all A ranks in normal mode first... managed the first 7 stages so far.

Love that song on the accoustic guitar, that's lovely, and quite a nice easy one to play though... you can relax with that one instead of being stressed as you go into defense mode

I found the last stage shockingly easy.

The organ stage had me for ages, though.

Freind of mine did the second level on masters setting the other night, quite hard i thourght.
Me, i cant do ben-k on normal setting (im sh"t at action rythom games)

[Moodmon]

I went back to it the other day, and while still getting rubbish grades, absolutely caned it. Even Ben-K was beaten, and I managed the skeleton and piano one dead easy. Must have engaged 'l33t' mode on my left hand.

Old thread revival

Just bought this game and it's fab-u-lous

[Darwock]

I've been on masters mode since before this thread was started, and yep.. I'm still on Bee Jam Blues on masters mode.

[Nijo]

Mmm, reminds me to pull it out again. I think the spaceshark was the hardest for me - after that the levels fell after one or two goes, excellent fun (especially the ones with the girl).
I just hit a brick wall with masters mode though - that's damn hard!

[Moodmon]

I had one go at the first stage in master mode, then gave up. God knows what the drum and bass button bash fest would be like on that.

[Ben-K]

I too am stuck on the second level on Master Play. Could have something to do with the fact that I only pull the game out when I'm pissed and feel like a challenge.......

[Reef]

I couldn't get passed the shark level on master mode - I can however complete the game without losing a life on normal mode

*which makes me smile*

it is a bizarre game as once you crack a level once you will always do it - even if you have a 3 month game between plays. Like riding a bike I guess.

[fishbowlhead]

what ever happend to the creator. I heard he went missing and was never seen again after he finished it . Or am i just talking out my arse

[ItsThere]

Oh yes. The mexican level when puma is kidnapped at the start is AMAZING. And then a run in with Justin from the Darkness, can there ever be a better music action game????

[fishbowlhead]

No im not talking about a level in the game. Im talking about the person who made it. Apparently when he finished the game he dissapeared and hasent been seen since. Can anybody confirm this as true? or was it just some weird lie.

[Jusatsushi]

Just got this for ?15 after reading this thread! Looking forward to it

Justin from The Darkness?

Did you play the same game as everyone else??
