thoes wii guitar features sound cool. hope you like the game ben! i was thinking after playing the zelda theme on band brothers and the halo theme on guitar hero 3, if they get the downloadable songs sorted for the wii (will this ever happen?), they could do a zelda or mario theme or something for guitar hero, which could be mighty fine :rock:

i'm finding this a lot harder than previous guitar hero games, really stuck on the last few songs on hard its the sort of game you just get better at without realising how though so hopefully one day i'll just be able to do it. also its a good game but it doesn't seem as good as gh2 to me there's just something missing.

even including people who like the game i think most probably agree that level 8 is pants. and i quite liked the flood level from the first game

apparently halo gave us the limited weapon carying thing too? anyway i have to stick up for it because i love it yeah cod4 is good and they are quite different online so it's hard to compare but i think halo is brilliant how every encounter with the enemy is like a battle of wits and if you're outgunned but positioned well you can usually retreat to fight another day. in stuff like cod4 you just shoot someone and they usually die pretty much instantly, unless they shoot you first, then you die, (not even mentioning the stupid airstrikes/helecopters and pants/non existant matchmaking) seems pretty boring to me compared to the battles you get in halo i can see why people might like cod4 more though as it's a different style of play.

Ben - played it more since saturday? - anymore impressions? RetroEd wrote: yeah, a bit, if you play it a lot, not as much as a real guitar though. seems like this isn't supposed to be as good as guitar hero 2, i'll still be getting it on friday though and will enjoy it no doubt anyone unsure if they will like this should maybe try out amplitude or frequency (preferably both) on the ps2, brilliant rythm action games, basically guitar hero without the guitar controller.

after downloading this asap, i've only just had a propper go on it last night, great fun it is but the controls are a real mind bender, finding easy mode to be pretty hard despite the shed load of continues you get just because of the controls. also it seems a bit like a 2D shooter but in 3D :S anyway, great game, hope to master it one day (or at least stop runing into enemy bullets because of pressing the wrong button) do the controls just click with time? or are any of the alternative setups worth a try? (edit - should have read the first page first, guess the controls are tricky and it's not just me!)

thanks for the welcome

Hello err i play games a lot. i've listened to the podcast a few times (i know Ben and he sort of told me i should!) and found the one about posing about non nintendo games really interesting as i sort of have it the other way round being part of an xbox live clan i'm often posting about nintendo stuff (and 2d shooters) and mostly get ignored! so anyway, thought i'd sign up - party on everyone.
