Guitar Hero 2

Have you completed it on hard?

I did recently. I took three tries on Free Bird before I nailed the bit that kept tripping me. Right at the end as well! There's not a chance I can do it on Extreme, I barely got through Hard.

Surely this game must have grown in popularity by now. If you play guitar it's still fun and a bit tricky to get used to (I still hate the strum bar a lot) and if you don't, then try it. Makes a great party game if you're prone to silly theatrics (which must be done, surely). I'm also pretty sure I've improved my fingerwork technique a little in playing the game.

Being a bassist myself it's also pretty cool to see you can do the bass tracks on a lot of songs as well as unlock some different bass guitars for co-op play.

What are people's opinions on the songs obviously having heard and played them now?

I think the strength comes through sheer number as there are a lot of good songs in a wide range of genres, but then there are too many dull metal songs, probably only chosen for the solos. I'm not too impressed with the 'bonus' tracks either, except for TROGDOR! of course.

And, who is your favourite character and what is your favourite guitar?

I like Eddie Knox in his suit because he's got that cool Rocket from the Crypt-type look and I give him the Cherry Red SG.

Sorry, if this is long/late/ranty but I'm bored.
