[quote name='Mojimbo']Yah.

I haven't checked the number but my whammy bar only starts to recognizes input when you push it in about 1/2 way in and star power usually doesn't activate until after I stand it up and bring it back down. It's not that bad IMO but it's not as good as my beat-to-shit PS2 guitars. RMAing it will probably be a huge pain in the ass as well.[/QUOTE]

That was a way to check the version but some people are now saying that the Guitar that's in the box doesn't always match the version number that's on the back, or there are stickers that cover the original version # with a newer one and the Guitar versions don't match.

I'm personally going to wait a few weeks until the defective ones get cleaned out of the retail channels. Hopefully RedOctane does something so we can know which ones are the "fixed" ones.
 
[quote name='Richlough']My Circuit City got this back in stock today , so I finally got my copy .

And stop the press , my wife wanted to play it .

That never happens .[/quote]

My girlfriend liked the game, until it hurt her wrist. She actually saw a picture of the game while at work and said "OH! I wish I was at home and playing that."
 
[quote name='cyrix`']anyone else watch the end of the credits?

pretty funny[/quote]

I took some umbrage at that, if you're refering to the Detroit Tigers bit. (We really wanted that World Series...) :lol:
 
[quote name='SpecTrE3353']Same.

905055 on the box. 95065 on the guitar.[/quote]

I was just about to post the same thing, as I just checked two minutes ago.

I checked because I noticed last night that I was blowing some notes when switching from Yellow to Green, but I thought it was just because I was tired...until I read that someone else has a sticky yellow button. I may test it later some more...
 
has ms said when a wireless guitar is going to be released..or are they just gonna keep us in suspense and entice me to go pick up a 2nd wired one?
 
I suck at this game. I can only play the easy versions of songs (4 button ones)

How long does it take to get better?

A few years.

That's alright, though. Since you're 12, and all.
 
Has anyone else bought all the finishes and not had it to register the achievement?

Edit: WTF IS ENGLISH?
 
Picked this up today courtesy of my VGD post. Mine says 55 on the box, but the UPC is covered by a 61 sticker. Anyone have a box like that?

EDIT: 65 indeed. Buttons seemed ok, I'll give it a test drive on Monday.
 
I heard so much about Jordan, so I figured i'd buy it from the ingame store and go into practice to see how bad it really is on expert. I was not disappointed, good lord thats alot of notes, can ANYONE 5 star that? If so, I want proof. Maybe we can get a giant guitar controller, have 6 people, 5 for frets, 1 to strum and do it, that'd be sweet.
 
[quote name='LiquidNight']This game is destroying my hand. And I love it.[/QUOTE]

Indeed! I got to the point yesterday where I literally couldn't go on any more. Brilliant stuff, though.
 
[quote name='derder']Has anyone else bought all the finishes and not had it to register the achievement?[/QUOTE]
It seems you have to exit out of the store and go back to picking a song for these achievements to unlock. At least, that's how it worked for me.
 
[quote name='Mattte']Wooo..finally got the 1000 note streak achievement after playing the same song for an hour (kicking its ass with 1139!).[/quote]

What song? I still don't have the 500 note achievement... I've broken the 475 barrier FIVE freaking times on various songs and messed up before 500....1,000 seems like a ways off for me.
 
[quote name='derder']Has anyone else bought all the finishes and not had it to register the achievement?[/quote]
Did you purchase all of the guitars first? No idea if its the same for the guitars that unlock when you beat all 4 modes; but once you buy new guitars, new finishes unlock as well.

Mine has a 55 on the box and a 65 on the guitar also. It was working perfect for the first day, but late yesterday the whammy stopped registering. Now it's working only about 25% of the time...I guess it's back to CC for an exchange.
 
In case you guys are interested, here's the code to unlock everything in the game

At the main screen. It's really tough, so do it quickly. It took me a good 5-7 times.

try playing "message in a bottle" on medium difficulty for your 500 note streak. It's really easy, i got on my 2nd try.
 
In spite of numbness in my left wrist and fingers, I clobbered the last of the easy songs on Guitar Hero II this morning... five stars all around. Feeling smug, I decided to try my hand at Expert. fuck that. I'll probably be able to five-star medium, but that's as good as it's gonna get for this li'l buckaroo.

javeryh -- you can get the 500 note achievement on easy on a couple of songs. Can't remember off-hand which, but I think Jessica was one of 'em.

anonymous, rabbitt -- since you guys have tried the unlock cheat, does it award the achievements for getting all the stuff? I would hope that it wouldn't because that really cheapens it for those of us puttin' the time in and diggin' it out.

What song did you use for the 1000 note streak?
 
[quote name='screwkick']What song did you use for the 1000 note streak?[/QUOTE]I think you can do it on Free Bird on medium (if you don't suck like me though...).
 
i cant remember them eithe rbut their are a couple 500+ easy songs.

for those who havent tried, this game co-op is a blast.

I thought the defective guitar talk was over-hyped...until my guitar controller just died mid-way through 'Them Bones'. I hadn't missed a note and...it just stopped working. after unplugging and re-plugging, off and on (you know, all the troubleshooting I'm willing to do with it), the only things that work now are the red button and strumming upwards...guess this is going back.

It's funny, I was reading the stories about people's whammies not working with the 95055 number, and that's what I had. After 3 days of playing I was convinced my guitar was fine, then the whammy started not working on a practice run through Strutter, then I had to start holding it up and shaking violently to activate star power, and 2 songs later the whole thing fuckin buys the farm. Lovely quality control, Red Octane. fuckin Bravo to you. Lovely. This one is going back to BB ASAP, and I hope the one that I pre-ordered from Red Octane directly (that still hasn't shown up, fuckin bravo to your shipping department too, RO) doesn't suck too.

Did it on X-Stream on Hard. Its not really a tough song just constant strumming pretty much. Got the 400,000 points one too on that song.

Nothing beats shouting out, "ROCK! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ROCK!" when your buddy won't hit that star power when you want. ;)
 
Nice! My girlfriend is also been playing it a ton.

I've never had so much fun sucking at a game before. :D

[quote name='thrustbucket']So what exactly determines whether you get to do an encore or not? And why don't you get to keep the song?[/quote]

You do an encore once you beat the songs on each tier (3-5 depending on which difficulty your on)

And you get the keep the song as long as you beat it.

You can get the 500 note achievement on Heart Shaped Box on Easy.

Does this unlock the achievements too, or does it ruin them for you.
 
A bit overrated. Song selection was better in GH1. Vocals, and all the covers in general, suck balls.

Some of the fret maps on the tracks seem completely random and not thought out at all, just a mash of buttons, which ruins the fun of jamming along.


Not to say the game doesn't rule, but yeah, just wanted to air the grievances.
 
I've been hitting 5 stars on medium on almost every song on my first play through. Feeling pretty good. Until Pschobilly Freakout... I just start laughing at how fucked my playing is once I get off. I can't imagine this on the harder difficulties. I'm hitting 4 stars, but after about 4 tries that's as good as it gets.

Stop and think about what you asked, then you'll have your answer.
 
man, i got 5 stars on every medium song except free bird, war pigs, and that one avenged sevenfold song. Im stuck and it's driving me nuts

Psychobilly Freakout on Hard is pretty much the biggest cockblock in the game if you ask me. Next worst is Freya on Expert.
 
[quote name='Dante Devil']Noob question, just started yesterday. How do you unlock the star power?[/QUOTE]
try the star power tutorial.
