Bought it yesterday (a bootleg, for about US$2.00 kekeke piracy ftw). Beat it. And now my left arm feels like it’s going to fall off. That last boss battle against the Devil (playing The Devil Went Down to Georgia) was fucking insane. And that was just on medium difficulty. I’m not even gonna attempt to beat it on hard, much less expert. Mostly because i can never really hit that fucking orange fret well enough to beat songs on those difficulty levels.
Beating the game on medium though, unlocks a Dragonforce song, which, if you can believe it, is even MORE insane than The Devil Went Down to Georgia.
My arm feels so sore right now. Kinda like when i first played Samba De Amigo on Dreamcast (RIP). I don’t think i’m even gonna be able to fap!
VERDICT: GH3. Better than GH 80’s, just as good, if not better than the first two GH’s combined. Better than Rock Band? We’ll see. The guitar battles with Tom Morello and Slash are pretty cool by the way. Buy it. Or bootleg it/download it if you’re a filthy pirate like myself.
Maybe your arm wouldn’t hurt if you bought a legal copy. … Foist?

I made custom GH2 discs, with the most hardcore dragonforce songs..
The timing was fucked, but it was pretty insane.

Justin, I bought it legal but early, and I’m telling you right now to NEVER EVER try it on Expert. I swear to god I will not be beating Raining Blood or One anytime soon, and I don’t want to cop out and beat it on Hard just to get TtFaF. My arms will be falling before yours I wager.

where i live, it’s actually impossible (if not almost impossible) to buy legit PS2 games. they’re just not sold in stores. only pirated copies are sold. so it’s either i buy a bootleg, or just download the game and burn it myself if i want it. oh, i got the PS2 version btw.
for what it’s worth though, all my 360 and PS3 games are legit!

#5 –
Pirated 360 games = No Live
Pirated PS3 games = Blu-ray
Those factors dampen the appeal.

Anyone that can beat Fire and the Flames (DragonForce) on expert either:
A – Is one awesome mofo!
B – Has entirely too much time on their hands and should seek help
C – Cares little for the well being of arms and fingers, as they will surely drop off
Those guys are insane, they play so fast, beating it wil lbe an accomplishment.
PS: On a side note, a dude at work said he will not stop playing the game till he does exactly that, I told him, enjoy playing forever =P

Expert is easy. Cant wait for GH3, but I am saddened they left my band out of it. So I burnt my own copies of GH2 with all my own songs on there.
