Bumping because this game is so awesome and you all need to get it. It'll be the best 80 bucks you'll ever spend.

Also, how good are you if you play? I'm alright, I can get through about half the songs on expert, but I'm not really much of a hero yet.

played it the other night at a friends, it's just absolutely awesome.

for anyone that doesn't own a PS2, or doesn't want to spend money on Guitar Hero, you can try out Frets on Fire which applies the same concept to a keyboard.

The songs I know on GHII are better than the songs I knew on GHI.
But the songs I don't know on GHII are worse than the songs I didn't know on GHI, so I'm finding it hard to be bothered to go through a load of rubbish songs I don't know.

Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You, Freebird, Sweet Child of Mine and Bad Reputation (I'm sure they could've picked a better Lizzy track) almost make up for it but it seems to be a case of 1 awesome song piled in with 4 not so good ones.

I need to rest my wrist at the moment following a sprain from playing a real guitar, then I'm going to totally rock the Spinal Tap song (which I'm sure isn't in the first group, though that may be because my sister was playing on easy).
