Has anyone bought it yet?

i've been up playin it for 8 str8 hrs...sick

I still don't get why people love that game.

game gives me an excuse not to lose money at poker for a few hours.

Same reason people love karaoke. The joy of thinking you can do something that looks easy but really isn't.

Well now I don't get either one. I thought people loved karaoke because it's fun to get drunk and make a complete fool out of yourself. Or, in some cases, because they mistakenly think they can sing well enough to entertain others.

Same thing. It's all about fantasy, my friend.

trust me, my fantasies don't include people playing pretend guitar or singing...



unless they're all naked, of course.

I do it for the hotty fan chicks that stand and scream in the front row .... u know they want to get it on after the show.....

I thought that myself till I tried it. I've only played the 80's version, but it was kind of fun.


And karaoke.... bleh.

It's an updated version of simon says.

With a little DDR thrown in, which is a game I really despise.

Awesome. I played it all day yesterday. Song selection for this round is grrrrrrrrrreat.

This pic reminded me of one of my favorite jokes.......

How do you know when its closing time at the bar..........

































When the big hands on the fat girls butt.

i rattled through hard and on to expert i go

I've beat every regular song on expert except Raining Blood by Slayer and the 8th Encore. Raining Blood is just ridiculous.

My friend is a Guitar Hero fanatic. He went to Wal-Mart a few hours before its release to wait in line.

80's version is okay...but it's the worst of the 4.

Also, music games are fun. For me, DDR -> Donkey Konga -> Guitar Hero. I think DDR's still the king though...since it's actually exercise and has decent potential for improving coordination. Unfortunately, I have a super fast metabolism and delusions of gaining weight, so I stopped playing.

Finally, just got GH3 tonight. Been playing through Easy...which is quite boring. Just doing it to earn the cash, to reinforce good habits, and for completion's sake.

going thru easy is by far the hardest thing to do just because it seems to drag on and on and on and.....yeah

Finished Easy with enough cash to buy all the bonus songs and videos with a little left over. Some of these bonus songs are quite catchy...and I'm impressed with the overall setlist...probably the most of any of the series.

I'll play naked just for you tonight big boy.

cot dam, son. granted i'd only played GH2 a couple times prior to this weekend, but i was definitely struggling with some of the later songs on hard, and i play guitar!

the solo for cult of personality is insane. <3 vernon reid.

YES! pics, obv.

i play alot on hard cuz its fun to not suck every song

We (8 guys) karaoked "Do you hear what I hear" the Thursday night before break. Brought down the house, it was pretty funny.

But do I get GH3 or RockBand?

That's the real question. Seems to be much more bang with RB. Drumming looks fun.

Is the game worth getting if you can't play guitar?

whenever you think you are good at GH3, watch this 9 year old then go cry in a corner

http://www.break.com/index/9-year-old-beat...hero-level.html

yeah he owns.


and NO you dont need to be good at guitar to play GH. i am absolutely ATROCIOUS at playing a real guitar.

and as for RB vs GH...im pretty sure i am getting RB for xmas, i'll let ya know on the 26th which one is better.

no strumming at the beginning = something fishy

I call BS

nope. they are called hammer-ons. the whole 1st section is one hammer on. just like you can strum a guitar and just slide your fingers for notes chahnges on that string (am i right?) you can do the same on some parts of GH.

the whole beginning is just one longgggg note basically

to be able to do that for THAT many notes is just ridiculous (but very possible)

yup, hammer on and run offs, there is a tutorial section on how to do them in the training section of the game. if you are going to pull off sections like that you have to be able to do those otherwise it is impossible.

Got GH 1, 2, and 3 for Christmas today, as well as a wireless controller.

The easy levels are pretty easy, but I took a whack at Talk Dirty to Me on Medium and it kinda kicked my ass, haven't had the opportunity to play the harder levels yet.

I know now what I'll be doing for the next six months.

that is an AWESOME gift!

i was hopin i'd get rock band for xmas, but i ended up gettin $130 worth of gift certificates instead, so i'll probably go buy it anyways.

6 months? try 2 years!

Eh I just recently borrowed GH1 and I just got 2 songs left on expert to beat, and I can't hammer on or anything. Played for maybe 20 hours total to get to this point, just got Cowboys from Hell and Bark at the Moon left, although I can't beat either without improving myself.

My son got a PS3 for X-mas & Guitar Hero III for the PS2 with 2 guitars. He is already on the 7th set of songs on expert & just beat Slash. He is 12. I hate him. JFS!!!!

beating it isn't the hard thing....or the long part. its the fact i can play thehm over and over again with alot of enjoyment. plus GH3 has online mode that never gets boring.

i got the Guitar Hero Rock the 80s for Christmas today and 5 starred every song on medium the first time going through it, that totally sucks. Shouldnt be that easy. I am working on hard now. I still havent got the orange button down yet, but getting there.

Two months? Try two weeks!

Yeah!!!

that is just sick.

My eyes can follow it easily enough, but try getting my fingers to do that...

I played it in Sears a few days ago while taking a break from Christmas shopping and I absolutely sucked on Medium. I can't coordinate my fingers with the rhythm, and holding the guitar is awkward for me.
