I hate it cause its nothing like playing guitar and it makes playing an electric guitar seem easy... which it is not. (Ive been playing for over a year)

Unfortunately, I hate to admit it, but I play it because it took me like 3 weeks to learn 1 chord on guitar, and I don't understand most of it. So, I can at least waste my time playing with an easy guitar.

That sucks xD Fortunetly, Im pretty gifted when it comes to instuments... and nothing else but being a klutz lol So its still not easy, but I learn fast. But for those who arent interested in acutually learning guitar, or suck at it, I guess its a good game. xP

I just recieved my ordered Guitar Hero II in the mail today and I played for three hours straight. My wrists are killing me, haha. Even though I suck at easy, it makes me feel cool when I'm playing it, lol.

I have it (Guitar Hero 2), and since Christmas I been able to complete songs on Hard, but I'm not really that good.

Also, comparing it to real guitars is silly. It was never meant to take place of a real guitar.

No, it probably wasn't. But I still have fun playing it, even knowing that I'll never be able to play a real one.

I got it for Christmas too and I am just going slow. I beat all of Easy with 5 stars so far.

I need to do easy mode (to get the guitars). I'm trying to get all 5 stars on medium, and then trying to get past Career on Hard

"Carry Me Home" and "Institutionalized" kill me as far as getting 5 stars go on medium. D: I think Hanger 18 does too, but I'm not quite sure.

We have Guitar Hero II, and my god its so awesome lol. I get really frustrated with it though cause I cant grasp the orange button yet. And then when it comes to going back to my real guitar I freak out cause I forget it doesn't have buttons lol.

I can't do hammer-ons and pull-offs, and they're extremely important once you get to Hard difficulty (and Expert). You get all of these notes bunched together, but I hammer-ons and pull-offs never work when I do them. >_>

OH GOD I LOVE THIS GAME.

Our family friends got Guitar Hero 2 for Christmas... I was playing for like 2 hours straight.

Expert absolutely killed me. I got pretty decent at medium, and a few hard songs, though.

I know, when I was first introduced to it in summer 2006, I couldn't stop. You just want to keep playing it until you beat that last song.

I like to call these games 'DDR with a fretboard'. Because, when you think about it, that's what this is.

While I think it's cool that there's a popular game based on music out there, I still prefer my bass guitar. *snuggles it*

I've had the game for about a week... Of the 40 main songs (not including the bonus tracks) the only one I can't get 5 stars on medium is also "Carry Me Home".. It's damn nigh impossible. 4 stars with a score of 107,000 is the best I've done.

And to anyone who claims "I'm not that good, I can't beat *all* the songs on hard".. don't worry about it-- my honest opinion is most players will never get good enough to ever pass career mode on hard. (I'm not there yet, I can only beat select songs on hard so far...)

Hard and Expert modes are for the elite select few ultimate gamers... which is why they made all the songs unlockable just by beating the game on Medium, because Red Octane knows most people will never do it on hard. (I do hope to eventually beat it on hard tho, with practice.)

I am especially proud of my 300,000 + score on Freebird on Medium tho

Also, there have been a lot of wrist injuries due to the game.. I watched a news article the other day-- one of Red Octane's staff said (this is paraphrased) "I know it's not really something our rocker clients want to hear, but everything in moderation-- if it hurts, take a break." Besides-- I find it I play a long session till it begins to hurt, then take a 24-48 hour break to let my wrist heal + strengthen-- next time I play I'm that much faster on the frets and strum... I basically beat the game on easy on one long session, took 2 days off, beat it on medium on the next long session, took 2 days off, then made it my goal to beat all 40 main songs with 5 stars on medium... got 39 of the 40..

. Now I'm on hiatus again to let my wrist recover.
