Yeah, yeah, I'm the first to reply to my own thread.
But HOLY SHIT! Check this out. Looks a tiny bit harder than Cowboys From Hell on GH1:

[NapalmGrind]

that was cool watching. never heard of the game, i'd suck at it, but that was cool to see. and how does that song stack up to others in the game difficulty wise?

This makes me proud - turns out the guy who took over the review site I founded got quoted in one of the reviews on the product itself. Look for the quote on the box from Jason Warburg from "The Daily Vault". (I'm assuming it's there; Jason told me the artist informed him of it.)

I may not be directly involved anymore, but it shows me that nine years' worth of my life finally paid off for something I dreamed up at the dinner table back in 1996.

That's awesome! I'll check it out. I'll be purchasing GH2 ASAP on Tuesday.

some wal marts have accidently put it on the shelves already. go check your local one.

EB Games and GameStops have it in already too, but they're pretty good about letting their employees know not to sell it before street date. However, that doesn't stop former employees (me and my roommate) from getting it yesterday from a friend who still works for the company.

BOOYAH.

they should have used the track that's before madhouse on "spreading..."

shit... what was it called?

 

[Seance]

shoulda used Gung Ho. people would be breaking off that "pick" lever trying to play fast enough

 

[ThraxDude]

they should have used the track that's before madhouse on "spreading..."

shit... what was it called?

YES!!! That one song. Best song on Spreading the Disease...
If they put that one on, GH2 would've been the best videogame EVER (besides Ocarina of Time of course).

So did you see Jason Warburg from "The Daily Vault" on the box?

This game is sofa king awesome! Carry On Wayward Son is a lot of fun to play.

YouTube - Guitar Hero 2- Jordan Expert Passed - 4 stars

Man that is crazy! I could only do that Buckethead song on easy mode. But I just played this game for the first time a couple days ago, a guy I work with bought it. It is pretty hard but a lot of fun. With a bit of practice I might be able to play on hard difficulty, but I don't know about expert....

 

[aliasp]

Can't believe Dethklok is on that game

HAHAHA!!!

I am buying this game for the sole reason to unleash it on my friends at my farewell party this weekend (moving back to my home town of Adelaide early next year). Can't wait!

 

[Bass Fellow]

Wow! Sword is on there too.

Hey that'll be 3 Adelaidians on the boards. Sort of anyway, haven't seen ThraxSA here in ages - where is the guy?

 

[Bass Fellow]

I just saw that bass and rhythm gtr is on there too!

 

[Whiplash402]
