Guitar Hero II: Owned.

Post by Falco Girgis »

Eric got Guitar Hero II 4 days ago (Marcel got it last night for his birthday). We owned the entire game in 3 days on expert mode.

Sound easy? No. We played for 8 hours straight one day and basically all day long the other 2. It was a group effort of 4 people (Aaron, Ian, Eric, and myself). We shed blood and tears, we laughed, we cried, and after all the hard work and complete effing rocking--it has been owned.

Guitar Hero II makes I's expert mode look like hard mode. It is THAT hard. I don't think any of us could've beaten it on our own. It was our skill put together with all of us slowly taking out songs that let us beat it.

Eric had the honor of beating Freebird last night. The ending of Guitar Hero II is so epic.

So now I get to talk about the game. It is in every way, 100% better than the first. Hammer ons and Pull offs are now doable (they fixed it up), the soundtrack is even more rock-ass than the first one, the practice mode is nifty and fun as hell, the unlockables are better, new costumes, and at least half of the characters got cooler on Guitar Hero II (some of them downgraded).

If you own the first Guitar Hero, or even semi-liked it at all, you owe it to yourself and your PS2--nay, to every rock generation since the 1960s to buy this goddamned game.

Time to go play some GH2.

It must be awesome if it dragged you guys away from PSU.

Is the Eric you're talking about Shickle?

I was gonna say, Shickle leaving his house for 3 days? That'd be a sign of the apocalypse.
There is no signature.

Who is Eric Bond?

So is your PSU obsession gone, or just on hold?

On hold, definitely. I'm going to try to play a lot more.

Eric Bond is one of Tyler's friends. He's as good as I am at Guitar Hero.

Read my other topic, looks like I'm going to have no life this month.
