what screen do you input the code on?

There's a "Cheats" screens under options. You have to strum each chord/note for it to work. Note that this code unlocks all songs, not just co-op.

It's also saved and permanent. You'll have lots of extra cash afterwards.

Question from a GH newbie here.

I don't own any of the games.

I have a PS3 and a Wii. I also have a PS2 but it's not hooked up.

I'm trying to decide what system to get GH 3 on. I would like to be able to play the older versions too, but I've read you can't play any of the older PS2 GH games with the PS3 controller.

Does a PS2 GH controller wired into the PS3 via adapter work with the older games? I have the 60GB PS3 which should have the necessary backwards compatibility.

Next question:

I've read some stuff here and there that suggested the PS3 controller has some lag issues. Has anyone here experienced this?

Thanks in advance...

Pretty much. We've been having an on and off relationship since 2005.

Ugh. I downloaded the Velvet Revolver and Foo Fighters packs and am really disappointed. The Foo Fighters songs all feel like variations on "Monkeywrench" from GH2, and the Velvet Revolver songs continue the trend of Neversoft making difficult note charts just for the sake of making them difficult. Heck, in one of the songs, there's one riff you play for quite a while, and while it doesn't change at all, they change from single notes to weird chords just to make it harder. Also, the VR songs all sound a bit lower in volume or something, like they weren't mixed correctly.

I'm not disappointed with the packs...but they sure made the note charts difficult on a few of these... 'This Is A Call' on hard is KICKING MY ASS... it's not even that hard it's just the weird progression, my brain doesn't want to cooperate... even the VR songs are pretty tough even in medium but I love all 6 of these songs, so it's worth it to me.

Got the meet your maker achievement randomly on live and spent another solid 45 minutes losing to Lou on hard... I always seems to get the shitty 'amp overload' powerups and he always gets double notes to throw my way and then in one fell swoop, I'm out.... they shouldn't have bosses in GHIV IMO.

Looks like we're getting the Boss Battles for free, which is the least they could do, seeing as the note charts are already in the game.

Thanks! I think I'm going to wait till they release the separate guitar so I can unlock everything though. Must be the OCD kicking in lol

I would think that they'd release the extra guitar before Christmas but who knows wth they were thinking...

Right there with you.

If Neversoft develops GHIV, I won't even rent it. They get a pass on GHIII because it's their first time out, but now that I've tried Rock Band, GHIV will have to step things up in literally every department to even get on my radar, let alone warrant a purchase.

I've gotten more and more frustrated with it. I am not a great player by any means, but I loved GHII and did really well on easy and normal. Hard was too much for me though I could pass some of the early songs.

Things are totally different with GHIII. Easy is just way too easy and not much fun and normal seems much harder than it should be. I just can't get the flow of many of the songs.

GHII seemed like you were actually playing along with the songs. They paced out the songs well and there was a flow you could get into.
GHIII just seems like a puzzle game. They just seem to want to toss random shit at you to trip you up. I won't even get into the boss battles that I can not stand. I can pass the songs on normal, but don't feel like I'm doing more than just surviving them. Definitely not the fun I had with GHII by any stretch. I'm seriously considering selling it and buying Rock Band for PS3.

I just FC'ed it... #2 overall on the 360 boards. My favorite song in the game since I'm a fan of Smashing Pumpkins I didn't mind playing it over and over again. I just don't understand how #1 got 528K. There's not many places to activate star power (I did a star power path of 2-3-2-5)

Finally got it last night. Played all the way through Easy as a refresher and to get a feel for the new guitar/note playing. 5 star-d every song but Raining Blood. Got a couple of 'perfects.'

Missed one fucking note on 'One,' had a streak of 491 when I missed it.

I didn't mind the guitar battles, but that probably has more to do with it being on easy than anything. Don't hate it, but don't really like it either. Just a roadblock to playing more songs.

I added you and Joe Molotov in last night. If you guys could add me in that'd be awesome as I'd like some other Wii peeps to battle. My code is 352301911176.

I'm about half way through easy too. It's a bit too easy IMO. I managed to perfect about 10 songs on GHII, and I think I've perfected about 10 songs halfway through this, and I was only about 1 note away from another 5 or 6.

One thing I noticed is there are hardly any syncopated beats or anything. Nothing has really tripped me up.

Yeah, easy is definitely easier than in GHII. I'd say on every song I didn't get perfect I was under 5 notes off. More often than not, I only missed 3.

I also felt the difficulty ramped up by tiers a lot better in GHII, as far as teaching, to get better at the game progressing to chords and eventually Blue notes in a few tracks at the end.

I've seen that mentioned on the scorehero site. Can someone explain what is actually meant by star power path?

I don't usually get the highest scores. When I build up enough star power, I usually deploy it pretty quickly after getting it. Unless it comes at a time where there are no notes, then I'll hold it until the notes start up again and deploy it.

Not sure how to join the tour group.

PS, how do I find out my wii code.

My GHIII code I have.

Very nice! My highest Ranking is #13 on Rock you Like a Hurricane and I was damn proud of that.

I've been trying to beat Cartman and you this morning and not always having the best luck. However, this will make his blood boil:

Miss Murder:
Mordred Score 312,869
gonthegh 312,704


Took an FC to do it and I didn't activate properly at the end (still had a good quarter SP left when the song ended) but I'm happy

Edit: Just saw that's actually #11 on the Wii boards, so that beats my RYLaH score!

IMO This is where the game goes to a new level and the gameplay really gets deep. When you're trying to get the very best scores, the only way to separate one perfect run from another is activating star power at the most productive point - i.e., the area with the most notes but without stepping on other star notes.

A path of 2-3-2 for example means in a song that has 7 sets of star notes you pick up 2 sets of star notes, activate, pick up 3 steps of star notes, activate, and 2 sets of star notes then activate.

I fucking hate the guitar battles. I have problems enough getting star power on Hard, but I've been steadily beating the songs anyway (just at 3 stars, occassionally 4.)

But the fact that you have to complete specific runs of notes multiple times to win a battle (and even then it's a crap shoot) adds an unneccesary amount of tension to the game. I beat Tom Morello on my 360 and have continued on, but watched a friend battle Slash on the Wii and it looked like no fun at all. If I can't beat him after a few tries, I'll just do the unlock code. I have better ways to spend my time.

You guys know that you can refuse the boss battles and still move on, right?

Ok, that makes a bit more sense. So, in your 2-3-2 example, as soon as you hit the second set of star notes in the 2 of the 2-3-2, you activate the star power? Or do you wait until another point? I guess where I'm getting hung up in my lower scores is not knowing exactly when to activate the star power I have built up.
