My guitar has survived two forum parties, being hurled across rooms and the constant usage of four different people at all times of days. Its a tough cookie.

Had no problem with Slash or Tom on Hard...still facing off against Lou on Hard.

Tom on Expert - easy (you get all the combat powerups first, he goes down fast)
Slash on Expert - ow. ow. ow. Unbeaten by me atm.

Took on Fire and Flames on Hard Co-Op the other weekend..surprisingly easy. Must remember to check it out on Expert at some point, difficulty was not that hard in Co-Op compared to solo Hard mode.

This is caused by the looseness of the contacts and the motion of the detachable neck against the body. To fix, I wedged some paper in the neck of the guitar (I was originally using two guitar picks for "coolness" factor, use whatever ya like really)

Yeah same problem with mine... i'll try the paper in the neck thing!

cheers man!

Here's a video review I consider to be fairly accurate.

Nae bother from the old wireless guitar on the PS2 thus far, which has been a pleasant surprise, since I expected it to be fairly glitchy.

Ok, you're right

I tried TTF&F in the practice mode on Expert...hit 48% of the notes which was just sheer luck. Aced Raining Blood on hard (well, I only got like 80% but I still managed to finish it), just took me a while to figure out the solo (or whatever the fuck it's supposed to be).

New convert to this, PS3 version.

Undecided as to whether or not being a musician is a help or a hindrance or makes virtually no difference whatsoever.

I bet non-musicians don't scream "FUCK OFF, HE WAS PLAYING ANOTHER NOTE THERE!" at the telly half as often.

Made my way to the slipknot/disturbed section on HARD at the moment.. which is further than i thought i would manage. Can manage some of the easier songs on expert.

Got a plectrum jammed in the neck

Some of us are so rubbish at the game that we've already lost by that point.

I run into that problem on lower difficulty levels, especially with songs I know how to play on guitar, or when returning to lower difficulty levels from things I've mastered on Expert/Hard

Stem · 18th January 2008, 6:43pm

Finally managed Knights Of Cydonia, Before I Forget and Stricken on Hard. Just need to do 3's & 7's to finish that stage!

Phantom Limb · 18th January 2008, 6:57pm

Good luck with that, 3s & 7s sucks. It's a horrible song. I was stuck on that for a few weeks on Expert, then vanquished Cult of Personality in a oner. No sweat. Final tier now, not even gonna attempt them shits. This game is no fun.

Stem · 19th January 2008, 8:27pm

I'm going to find the guy who made the flashing lights prison level, and I'm going to kill him.

Ferkle · 19th January 2008, 9:50pm

My neck, arm and wrist are fooked from playing this bloody game so often! I'm at the European Invasion bit on Hard, think it might take me a while to get any further though...
