I'm down as long the song quality remains as good or better than "Get Ready 2 Rokk" since there isn't a single bad moment in it aside from the silly 'Sabbath tribute at the end.

Hell, as long as the bonus tracks aren't just a bunch of songs from the developers' bands and some Boston locals it'll be a step up from the first game.

What-the fuck-ever, Gett Ready 2 Rokk was one of the catchiest songs on GH.

I just played the OPM demo, You Really Got Me is fun and YYZ made my goddamn wrist hurt. I beat them all on expert on the first try except YYZ.

Have I mentioned this four times yet?

THE HAMMER ONS AND PULLOFFS ARE A LOT EASIER NOW.

Please tell me what you think of this. Happy? Sad? Angry? I know Cheebs was calling for stricter timing and they went in the opposite direction.
Personally, I think this makes it easier to rock out, IE jump around and not watch the screen so tightly, so I am all for it.

I like it, I always had a hardtime with hammer-ons and pull offs.

I like the easier hammer-ons \m/

The thing that really bugged me about hammer ons was that if you did it even a split second BEFORE the note, it would register as a fail. If you were off a bit BEHIND the note, everything was fine.

As long as the sequel gives a small window before and after each note, I'm happy.

I hated the hammer-on's in the first game. I played them as two notes every time because the timing was wonky

pls. see score thread.

Ditto.

Specifically, songs like "Cochise," “Frankenstein,” and “Texas Flood” are a lot harder to combo effectively then they really should be because of the aforementioned awkward timing.

Aside from the strum-bar limitations, I think the hammer-on system was probably my biggest beef with the Guitar Hero gameplay system, so it’s nice to see that they’ve apparently fixed one of the game’s two major issues.

Had the mag/demo in my hand today, put it back because I don't wanna spoil the experience.

As far as hammer ons and such goes, I wasn't a fan of it, I tried just playing every note. Seem like it was more of a hassle to learn the system and its timing.
