Gamespot has a feature on the latest build of Guitar Hero 2, due out November 7th in the US, today. (Subscription required I believe.) They have a bunch of gameplay videos from the build as well, confirming songs like:
* Sweet Child O’ Mine (we already knew that of course…I was disappointed, however, to hear that the singer covering Axl is not all that convincing.)
* Jessica - Allman Brothers
* Surrendur - Cheap Trick
* John the Fisherman - Primus (using the master track from the song, meaning actually Primus, not a cover)
* You Really Got Me - Van Halen
* XYZ - Rush
* Freebird - L.S.
News that got me excited from this feature was that Harmonix doesn’t even have the song list finalized yet because they’re trying to cram songs in up to the last minute. Apparently there are also multiple songs for which they obtained permission to use the masters.
November 7th will be a day of joy at Casa de Matt, with much competitive and cooperative rocking out in place of working.

*twinkle* Yeah, my whole floor at Uni are excited for the 2nd to come out… we’re planning on making it a floor activity to just jam out to it.
Which we’ve already done, but hey, can’t go wrong with guitar hero can you?
Anyway Matt, was wondering if there was a project we think would benefit Achaea, how would I go about advocating for this and who could I take these ideas to?
Cheers!

I just got a chance to play GH a few weeks ago and it hooked me in under 2 minutes. I can’t wait for a second.

Um, that’d be “YYZ” by Rush.

4 of us are playing the demo right now and ya…it’s nice. Alot harder too. I’m just starting into hard on the first but it looks like I’m going back to easy with the second. I may just have to stop playing Achaea for a few days when this comes out…dun dun duuuun.

Ooer, the demo! I’m jealous. I’m glad it’s harder though, as the only songs that gave me a challenge anymore were the last 5 songs on expert. Still haven’t beaten Bark at the Moon on expert though. *grumble*

Oh you’re in for a treat then. Strutter on EASY was giving me problems.
