Guitar Hero II

Anyone here ever played it? I get drunk with my college friends and play it all the time. I'm pretty sure it'll make you a worse guitarist, but it's fun as hell. Like Dance Dance Revolution for musicians.

    Ha funny you say that. I first played it with a girl and she goes "You should be really good at this because you play guitar". It was pretty embarassing when she was bangin' out "Texas Flood" perfectly and i was struggling with "Iron Man"

    I kick ass at it, better than I can actually play! If anything, I think it hurts my playing. Its so fun and addicting that I play it instead of the real thing!

    I was at a friends playing it and I sucked. Everyone laughed so I picked up his guitar, put it behind my head and FALWLESSLY played the Alive solo. Everyone got really quiet as I handed the controller off...the game was pretty quiet after that.

    It was pretty baddass. Didn't really help that later that night, I fell down the stairs and I wasn't even drunk. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

    yeah! i tried it at best buy once. i wanted to break that guitar in half. i;d try it again though, as long as no 13 year old video game wizards aren't around.

    wow. why would you lie about something just to impress strangers? you must have some devolepmental issues..

    or you were actually telling the truth, in which case that'd be cool, but......
    they call them fingers, but i never see them fing. oh, there they go

    I'm a decent real quitarist, but I suck at guitar hero.
    Then again the only times I've played it I was piss drunk.

    That's the funniest thing I read all night. I've laughed about it several times. It totally sounds like something I would do.

    I fall down all the time. I attribute it to wearing too high of a high heal. But I can't help myself because I'm so short.

    At least you have the high heel excuse, I just suck at walking...and standing..

    Broke down and bought GH2 last night. I figured I'd be a great party game. Just gotta get another guitar controller. It's funny playin songs you know front to back because your pick hand wants to do the same thing as on a real guitar. War Pigs was throwin me for a loop! I got almost all the way through the game (I think) on medium in about an hour and a half. I tried Heart Shaped Box and expert just to see how bad it was. Only made it through 25% and got booed off the stage:( Oh well I've only had it a day. I'll get it! Oh and thank god they put the option to switch the controls for us southpaw players:D

    Edit: I just realized there's over 50 songs so getting through the game in an less than two hours would be impossible :P Oh well. Should have it beat today. Then I move on to Hard..

    I'm wanting to get this for Christmas for my family. I have kids who are 7, 10, 13, and 17. You think the younger ones will be able to play?

    GH is awesome fun, but if you're playing it through a TV with a seperate sound system (ie, through an amp into home theatre style speakers) the slightest delay spins you out.
    I found out the hard way. Turns out I wasnt JUST drunk.... I was ALSO drunk.

    I believe you, but it would have been more convincing if you hadn't mistyped "FALWESSLY".

    Hang on, isn't Kalamazoo a joke name?? You must be making shit up then.
