Guitar Hero II - official.

As much as I love this series, the developers really need to consider changing the strumming mechanic at some point, as the current strum-bar setup makes it nearly impossible to perform accurate tremolo-picking—an essential strumming method in many speedy rock/metal songs. Simply changing the strum bar to a single "string" that can be picked/plucked like a regular guitar string would do a lot to expand the types of songs that the Guitar Hero control scheme can handle. Additionally, I’d like to see the inclusion of “open” notes--i.e. the note a string makes when it’s strummed sans fretting--in the next game, as it too would make the entire playing experience a lot more authentic and musician-friendly.

Meh, I think the strum bar is fine. But I'm with you on the open notes. They also need to incorporate tapping...pressing fret buttons rappidly with two hands alternating and no strumming at all.

They link to an interview with DragonForce and stuff about them playing the game. grsjkgfgdgf this better be leading up to an announcement that DF songs are going to be in the game :(

If DragonForce is in this, FFIX, Xbox 360, and the Wii all get placed down the list of prioritized monatary waste in favor of GHII.

Hell, I'd buy two of them if i'd have to.

I just got the original Guitar Hero, and it's rocking my shorts off. Can't wait for the sequel.

Ah man. Check out GameSpot's front page, and play the video. They just revealed a new track in GH2, and it's fuckin' GNR. Sweet Child of Mine.

And the cover band sucks. :(

AWESOME!

My original controller is broken (stepbrother must die...) and it's apparently a pain in the ass to find a single controller for sale. Our EB had one, but it turns out they were called by Red Octane and told to open it up and smell. There was a moldy shipment, and most of my area got moldy single controllers they had to send back. I was gonna buy GHII anyway, but now I really want it for the bundle.

buy the bundle for GH1 then return it with your broken controler.

noob.
