I'm still playing this game trying to improve my scores, but it's not really getting there. I'm trying for all 5 stars on hard, but I can only do it up until Take Me Out. I haven't been able to really improve any of my expert ratings either.

The other night I was playing. I had 43 5 stars on Hard, 31 5 stars on expert.
I was playing a song on medium that I had already 5 starred to determine exactly what score was needed for 5 stars so that my wife would know what she needed to get. I finished the song, hit continue and then apparently turned off the game while it was loading the song list. My wife came in later, turned on the game and apparently our save game was corrupted. It's times like these when I really hate consoles and their lack of HDs. I'm not even sure I want to even retry anymore after all the hours I poured into it.
Pretty dang depressed about the whole thing.

I ordered from newegg way back when and I never got it. The game disappeared from their web site too. I contacted customer service and they said they didn't even have the order in their system but that it was sold out anyway. Sorry for any inconveniece and all that. No problem. No harm, no foul, I picked it up at Best Buy before X-mas.
Don't ya' know I get an email saying that newegg has shipped the order and charged my cc.

Even if it had an hard drive, wouldn't the save be corrupted if you turned it of while it was saving?
Just damn depressing

I got this for Valentine's Day(awesome girlfriend x10)
Easy was, well, easy. Medium is kicking my ass. The notes are moving faster and faster. I'm sure it'll be like DDR, where the more I play, the better I get, but jeez, what a big jump.

The other night, my wife said she wanted to see me fail a song. So I tried ThunderKiss 65 on expert. It kicked my ass. I have a lot of practicing to do still. I'm making my way through hard right now, but the guitar solos are extremely difficult with all of the hammer ons and pull offs.
I never would have thought that a song by Boston would be my favorite to play on guitar hero.

I just picked this up late last night, and the girlfriend and I were up for hours playing it. So far I have everything unlocked in the normal difficulty. I did a few in hard and tried to bump up to expert and I couldnt get passed 62% or so in the megadeath son. This is a really fun game though, I wish I would have bought it earlier.

Well, it certainly looks like Guitar Hero was enough of a success to warrant some future installments...

All-around awesome news. Not only do we get a full sequel, but also single-genre expansions, all in the next year and a half.

New interview with John Tam (from RedOctane) about GH2 over at IGN....
The hightlights:
- New multiplayer mode where one player plays the lead guitar part, with the other handling rythm/bass/etc.
- Each player can select a different difficulty in multiplayer.
- Practice mode where you'll be able to loop a particular section of a song. No mention if you'll be able to slow it down, though.
- They're aiming to have 40 licensed songs, up from 30 in the original.
- The indie songs may be from more than just the in-house bands. They'll also be running the Be A Guitar Hero contest again.
- They've been talking with some of the artists of the new licensed songs, and there have been a few mentions of using the master tracks from the songs, so there may be a few less covers this time around.
