Well, everything ran smoother and it looked pretty good. Technical aspect, a little better yeah. Don't think they've gotten their shit together with tabbing things yet.

i think the reason its done like that is that guitar hero wants to maintain the fact that its a harder game, and so also make sales to those who want a challenge.


either that or their retarded, and neversoft has made some decent games, so i'd say its the former.

A lot of good party songs here. Also, having both Freezepop Guitar Hero songs(especially Get Ready 2 Rokk) makes me smile.

Wow, Audioslave is the only good band in there. And Godsmack and Rage.

Rockband has good variety though. I mean, out of their 800 songs, there's something for everybody.

lol'd

It's funny 'cause it's actually believable.

i'm pretty sure its not, guitar hero arent the ones that rehash songs every week :I

um









explain yourself

Played RB: The Beatles today.


If it was a bit harder (i 100% most songs first go on expert) i would consider buying it.

but it just didnt do it for me.

Well

They're Beatles songs


Beatles weren't face melters, they were just really unique and trend setting


It's not supposed to be hard. Unless you want them to add in random notes that weren't in the song, like Guitar Hero.

Quote: the fact that its a harder game

yeah,

no

@fret:

sometimes you could honestly hear the chords and they just put single notes in it really annoyed me.
its a decent game but really underwhelming.
