8 days from now, on November 7th, Guitar Hero 2 will be released. I am sad that I will not be rocking out on this guitar that day. It’s not that the extra five buttons have any gameplay effect, but it is simply cool to choke up on the neck to play solos. That said, I do wonder if the smaller buttons will make playing actually harder.

As a fellow Guitar hero fan all I have to say is *drool*
I think the smaller buttons might help a bit though. Maybe it’s just my dirty novice hands but there are times where i’ll just clip the wrong fret and throw my game off.

The little buttons will definately be way difficult to use. One of the benefits of playing quick solos high up on the neck on a real guitar comes from the fact that the distance between the frets are a lot shorter up there, the controler could simulate that part of reality by putting the “high frets” half as far appart as the lower frets.
Looks like doing those pinky slides on the new fancy buttons will be rather difficult
