I heard that during Strutter if you flick the guitar neck with your tongue when you tilt it up for "Star Power" you get super bonus extra points. .....well at least at my house you do.

I don't know how they intend to have people play War Pigs and not jmp straight into Paranoid afterwards...

Here's a video of me doing 'Infected' when I first got the game. I'm kinda sucking, but it gives you an idea on how the game works. And as bad I am sucking on this vid, I still got a 5-star rating... It's on normal difficulty. That "SPOOINK" sound you hear is when I miss a note (and there are quite a few of them)



Guitar Hero - Infected

People who have not played Guitar Hero deserve no explanation- they should simply feel as silly as they rightfully are and be subjugated into going out and playing it to see how foolish they have been for missing out on the experience.
seriously.
Just like with #1, I'll put up with a few songs I might not like that much for the overall awesomeness that the thing provides.
-We all probably figured they'd try and hock a new peripheral with the new release, and it will totally fucking work, which is just so much of a shock considering how historically unsuccesful games built off of customized peripherals have been in the past. And these guys are going to to do it twice.
I've been resisting getting a second guitar for a while, but now maybe I'll actually get a full version with the flying V when GH2 comes out so I can get the sequel and a uniquely different 2nd controller at the same time. Congrat-u-fucking relations to some seriously brilliant designers.

Am I better off playing the game or actually, y'know, playing my actual guitar...?

I do both.

There's something that's just fucking great about being able to blow the doors off the living room with Cowboys From Hell and Bark at the Moon with perfectly tweaked sound, a full band in the background, and a crowd full of digital
people throwing devil horns.

It's sort of crazy, but the game's so good that while playing Guitar Hero isn't a real substitute for playing guitar... playing guitar isn't a real substitute for playing Guitar Hero either.

Huh. Wow.

Fo' real, that sounds awesome. Let's have a Guitar Hero party.
