    oh, so the demo allows a second player?
    Yeah, all ya need is two guitars ;D. Bass in YYZ = God. Gogo Geddy Lee.
    Oh god is XYZ so good. It's pure brilliance.
    XYZ?! That's on there TOO?

    So there is a 10 song in-store demo floating around out there and I was able to get my hands on it today.

    Either I'm a fucking god at this game, or it's simply not as hard as the first one... I'm going with the latter. I have a feeling I'll be able to EASILY pass all of expert on my first playthrough... Psychobilly Freakout is on the 10 song demo and I pretty much raped it my first try. Only a three star, but I didn't fear failure at any time.

    I hope the bonus songs offer more challenge. I'm pretty close to being able to 5 star YYZ already and PF, the song that was deemed to be just a bunch of random notes, is not that hard. Video of Freebird on Expert proves that it certainly doesn't deserve the top spot.

    Maybe Hangar 18 will be impossibly difficult. Lets hope so.

    Really? I read the big GH2 article in EGM a couple months ago and it said this one is supposed to be a lot tougher than the original.

    I heard that the 10 song demo was the same one that was on the Warped tour early this summer, so they could have changed a lot since then. I really hope so too. My only gripe with GH is that the difficulty was too easy. I was hoping for GH2 to have the same kind of insane difficulty that's in the Bemani games like DDR and Beatmania.

    I'm pretty sure the relaxed / corrected HO/PO's have made the game what it should have been in the first place, but made it even easier. Don't get me wrong, getting Guitar God on expert is still going to be one hell of a feat, but I think I'll be able to do it this time (40/47 expert 5 stars in GH1) with the HO/PO's fixed.

    Buckethead - Jordan?

    They couldn't pick a song that he doesn't exclusively play live as well as not strum a string the entire thing. Just hits the custom kill switch the entire time. It sounds cool but really convoluted. Binge and Grab would've been a godsend. I do love Jordan's riff though:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pytlmRmxZkA

    I've heard there's a new 10 demo song list out there somewhere. It's apparently being sent to best buys but our store has nowhere to put up a display. If I see it at work, SNAGGED.

    It already exists? The text in the unlock shop says that he composed it exclusively for Guitar Hero II. I guess that means it's going to be a version of Jordan that's unique for the game. Should be interesting.

    Hey you're right, that's kinda weird, maybe it is a modified version. It makes sense though, since he has never actually recorded it, this would make a first since it's always thrown into his live shows. I've very often seen him play it A LOT during live shows, sometimes he'll even repeat it as an intermission between different songs during the shows. Hopefully there'll be a kick ass solo added ;D.

    At my best buy they switched out the PS2 kiosk and put in the 10 song demo. I closed tonight as well as tomorrow so I won't have a chance to stay and play it until Wednesday. I watched a kid come in and play Shout at the Devil on expert and then he tried Psychobilly Freakout which DESTROYED HIM at about 15%. It looks crazy fast, but mostly pulloff and hammerons.

    It already exists? The text in the unlock shop says that he composed it exclusively for Guitar Hero II. I guess that means it's going to be a version of Jordan that's unique for the game. Should be interesting.

    I was excited to see that someone over at the scorehero forums did a bit of digging with the 10-song demo and actually got 19 extra songs playable.

    And one of them is Bang Your Head by Quiet Riot, which isn't in the final retail version.

    Looks like the full ISO of the final game has been leaked today. Got the game on pre-order but I'm downloading it anyway. Can't wait 'till next week to play it. :P

    Just finished playing the full retail release and this game fucking rocks. Love the extra stuff they added to it like the stats page at the end of the song and the new practice mode. Did a lot of cool little extra things too, my favorite being that the band naming screen is on a SAT test sheet and the letters are spelled out in the little multiple choice circles.

    Targets and Walmarts all over the place have sold the non bundle version early. Lots of people already bought and beat it ;D. There a video of Buckethead's Jordan...man the added solo looks like PAIN:

    This guy 4 star'ed it...but yeah, that solo looks absolutely vicious. I don't think I'd ever be able to play that, even with practice.

    Oh God yes. Anybody concerned about the game being too easy should visit YouTube. There are videos up (complete with annoying voiceover before and after the song) of Jordan, Hangar 18, Freebird, and Thunderhorse. Those, plus Misirlou, leave me no doubts that it'll be a little while before I finish this game.

    ....that, and I played Psychobilly Freakout on the new demo and died at about 29%. It was on the damn chorus! That RB to YO and back chord switching destroyed me!
