- underthelinux, on 11/09/2007, -0/+35Frets on Fire is great alternative as well.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25"My son got that game. I was watching him play it and I said "Why don't you just get a real guitar and learn how to play the songs for real?"
"Coz you're a cheap bastard, Dad." - Aaronichi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Screw GHII, learn how to play guitar!
YEAH! and screw Street Fighter, learn karate!
Madden 07? What? You can't learn to be a pro football player, loser?
Totally screw Burning Crusade! Just go out and learn to be a level 70 Blood Elf Paladin, you lazy ass! - joeuttaro, on 06/06/2008, -2/+23Yeah, and it throws an error.
- shout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21I guess you should have submitted something if you thought it was cool. Help make Digg better if you know of something cool.
- jull1234, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19I play guitar, and I love guitar hero. Eat it.
- tokyopimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I am so sick of Guitar players calling this game gay... do us all a favor and STFU about it. It's a game, a ***** video game thats fun to play. Why on earth every time there is a story about Guitar Hero do you insecure guitar players have to come in and talk about how it's lame because the real guitar is so much harder. The best guitar hero player in the world isn't going to take over for Steve Vai anytime soon, it's a rhythm music game thats extremely fun to play. I'm sorry that it's hurting your ego that so many people enjoy it.
Jesus Christ... never join a band with more than two guitar players, or more than one for that matter. They are the most insecure people on earth, and don't dare mention your favorite guitar player in front of them, unless it's his or her favorite to, or your going to here about how much "SO AND SO" is so much better. - fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17It teaches you to press a combination of buttons while flicking a switch, this may be useful to someone somewhere.
- infl00p, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Grab it here http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/uv/fretsonfire/
songs here http://keyboardsonfire.net/ and on your favourite torrent sites. - darkamster07, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15dugg for use of "totally metal"
- rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13brendon small rules
- ophilye, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Dugg solely for this line:
"While the original poster in the "How-To" thread claims the process is idiot-proof, I beg to differ. It requires eight separate freeware program downloads, involves a 12-step process that makes my head hurt just looking at it. You'll also need a PlayStation 2 modified to play "backups." Eye of newt, virgin's blood, and horn of unicorn are optional."
FABULOUS!! - hockey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13All the songs are played in the key of rock though.
- nathanwalker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13No. Its really..... really dumbed down.
- Takfam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12EDIT: Whoops, wrong replied. This should be @camg188.
I said the same thing to my brother when he was playing Call of Duty. "Why don't you just get a Sniper Rifle and learn to shoot for real."
Time to learn to play Freebird well on Guitar Hero: About 20 minutes
Time to learn to play Freebird well on actual guitar: Months if not years.
God forbid people have fun doing in a game what would take years to learn in real life. Maybe I should stop sitting here Digging and go get a shovel and start digging. - Renolc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Plus you can import your GH and GH2 songs easily.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12It always makes me sad to see just how hard Metallica rocked back in the day... Now they suck... The suck so hard in fact, that I have a hard time believing it's the same band! I'd like to know where the aliens put the real members of Metallica and I'd like to know when they plan on returning them and taking back the craptastic Metallica they left us with.
- deathhand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I'm still waiting for the Electronic Supersonic song from Zlad!
- megashaun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I want an all-Dethklok Guitar Hero. And one hundred beers - exactly.
- Pyroteq, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11So if I like GTA, why don't I just buy a REAL gun and start running over REAL pedestrians in a REAL car?
You're a ***** idiot. - nelsonuwp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Jesus christ, it's easier to play master of puppets on a real guitar
- jbpico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9More like "Dropped D Revolution!!
....am I right??? ::crickets:: - gamerage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Get over your baggage and try it. The game is fun. The rocking feeling is what it is about, not how hard it is to master.
- Tallon29, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16Any Mars Volta?
- shredomatic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yep, Thunderhorse.
- eclipseyue, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I disagree. Actually as a guitar player I find guitar hero quite hard! Take the ever-popular buckethead song 'jordan' for example. I can play a good amount of it on an actual guitar but the on guitar hero i can't even pass it *expert of course*.
- blahtastic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Well he should, but as a guitar player I'm really excited about the upcoming 360 release of this game. Have it pre-ordered actually. Lots of guitar players love this game, and some songs are actually harder to play in the game (Monkey Wrench on expert is harder IMO, for example). Also it inspires many non players to pick up the hobby.
If you really think he should be playing a real guitar, I have two words for you. Birthday Present. Musical instruments are expensive toys. Get to it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Brutal.
- hydrosnowman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6they need to become alcoholics again
- TheUngod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Definitely not dildos
- PacoDG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Just make sure your Title and Description is good enough, as I submitted this, without any dupe coming up, yet someone has already posted a comment either above or below this one, with a link showing this is a dupe from a couple of days ago. It was news to me, and obviously news now to everyone digging it.
- ZackRabbit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6This Dragonforce song looks crazy!
http://www.digg.com/videos/gaming/Guitar_Hero_Dragonforce_Through_Fire_and_Flames_on_Expert - fnaqzna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5My next door neighbor is a guitar player. I am not. We play this game all the time.
It's not a music simulator. It's a game. - cbbspike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Should have reply to you first:
There is a nice Hacked version .ISO on Newsgroups.
alt.binaries.cd.image.playstation2.dvdiso
alt.binaries.alizee - threemagic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5but is he your .... Guitar Hero?
Thanks.. I'm here all week!
Try the Veal! - floridiot2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Awesome! Would love to play Master of Puppets on GH2.
Equally as awesome is TOOL - Stinkfist - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEjRFjQueDA - Lososaurus, on 10/12/2007, -14/+18I hope not.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No kidding, lol... Chill, guitar players!
- bills534, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I would have to agree with you on that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4For a Gay video game, it's a hell of a lot of fun to play. I now own 2 Flying V freedom controllers. My GF and I rock away on this several nights a week. She's as good as me and we love it. This is the longest video game I've ever played continuously.
- jamsea, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6:P but its cooler to play it on guitar hero.
- viperman5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've been waiting for DragonForce songs for forever. It's about time.
- thekronz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I got really pumped about this until I read you can't do it if you own a Mac.
Racist! - PacoDG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Confirmed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_hero_ii#Bonus_tracks
(also they got Strongbad in there, plus Buckethead!) - Chongo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I bought the game plus 2 guitars just for thunderhorse....
140.00 later... It was worth it
//MUSTA... KRACKISH - gamerage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It may seem pointless to you because you miss the point completely.
- SteelChicken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3arrogant twerp
because its fun and you dont have to spend hours a day for years to get good at it
and because the crappier you play (esp when drunk) the funner it is! - Renolc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@lbermude
I don't see why not. I know they have PS2 -> USB adapters so it should work like with any gamepad. - smoothoperatah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i think i just peed a little.
- Lownin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes. You can use a SmartJoy adapter with the official Gibson SG guitar hero guitar with Frets on Fire.
I've done it =) -
