On a side note: The solo to Symphony of Destruction is EPIC with GH2's HO/POs. Fucking epic.

I have a really hard time with GH1's HO/PO system. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of a few choice GH1 songs on Xbox Live so I can play them with GH2's system

A lot of the songs are just ridiculous with GH2's system. Take a close look at Cochise's HO/POs. I end up strumming once every eight seconds for most of the song.

Bark at the Moon is a bit more fun. A lot of problem parts become much easier, but the solo is still a bit ridiculous. I haven't practiced it (or even played it more than three times), but I'm sure it's doable now. The ending solo of the song is fucking ace though.

Surprisingly, CfH is still a bit stupid. Thenagain, it was never a fun song to play to begin with. Godzilla becomes a lot easier, and much more fun. Texas Flood as well.

Tripolette is jawsome with the hyper-speed code and new HO/POs. I hope they released it for 360 users.

I can't HO/PO at full speed. This is why I suck.

Also, no strikethrough here? Or the command is changed?

Only thing I give a rats ass about is how fast I can play the new songs.

Are they unlockable or what?

Also, yes GH1 songs in GH2's engine are absolutely retarded. 98% on Crossroads first try. (From a hacked version of PS2 GH2, not 360. Don't have that yet.)

If by absolutely retarded you mean practically orgasmic.

There are so very few things more fun in videogaming than Ziggy Stardust, Crossroads or Texas Flood with GH2 HO/POs.

Indubitably. A lot of those songs in GH1 were awesome to listen to but horrid to play because of the system they were in.

They are fun, but it's a whole hell of a lot easier.

What you talking about, Willis. There shouldn't be a wireless controller. $60 is in fact true for a wired though.

Roughly 8 feet.

You could always get a USB extension cable, though.

They're sprinkled all over the place. Wikipedia has the full comparison.

My biggest issue so far involves most anything where I have to hit red and blue or green and yellow at the same time. Take Woman (on medium) for example -- it goes GY into RB and i mess that up every time.

Tips?

Practice. It does get easier, though it's frustrating earlier on.

Mr. Fix it on expert has a lot of GY/YO transition chords. And Monkey Wrench on expert goes from two sets of just orange to orange/blue and down the scale to orange/green and back up again. Heh.

Star power fucks me up big time.

Every time I use it, I miss a whole series of notes, fucking my multiplier and effectively making star power totally useless.

Some people find it easier to hit Select with their pinky than to invert the guitar to activate starpower.

Those people do not deserve to rock.

Maybe the 360 controller is different, because select is way the fuck out there

I started using the neck strap and it seems to help.

I've finished all the songs under "opening licks" on medium with 4 stars each now.

This is a whole lot harder to do with the 360 controller than it was with the PS2 controller. I find it hard to hit pause even if I stop trying to hit the notes. The button is tiny and hard to find. It does, however, alleviate any possibility of accidently pausing.
