I was lucky and quick enough to get in on the Circuit City "broken street date" fiasco so I picked it up on Saturday. Nothing unexpected since I played the first game all the time and had a few hours in on the PS2 sequel, but this one is still worth every cent. Not buying a second guitar until a wireless one comes out, though.

Bring on the nickel-and-diming downloadable songs. For once, I am at the complete mercy of the Marketplace.

This Game is awesome. Glad I had it reserved at gamestop. Only problem is the same one everyone has....No Wireless Guitar.

I picked it up this morning at Circuit City for 69 dollars. They didn't have MS points cards so they gave me a discount :) I wonder if taking the receipt to Best Buy would yield a price match?

I don't get everyone's insistance on having a "wireless" controller for this game. For me, playing an electric guitar means plugging into an amp. So instead I have to plug into my Xbox no biggie to me.

I played this game for the first time on Friday at a BestBuy Xbox 360 kiosk. I was immediately hooked. I got the hang of it relatively quickly. It must be because, as my wife put it, I'm "really good at air guitar." I went to Walmart last night at midnight to pick up a copy. Now I'm just counting down the time until I'm finished working so that I can go melt some faces.

I'm currently playing it and Gears (gears to rest my hands inbetween sessions) I am loving this game but then I did beat the original on expert so they already had my money for a GH2.

A must buy in my opinion. As IGN said, the 360 has too many shooters and not enough of basically every other genre. Bring on GH, platformers and RPGs!

I had not played any of the Guitar Heroes until earlier today. I called in sick to work so that I could get mine as soon as Gamestop opened and played it for several hours. Only reason I stopped was because my wife came home...

I preordered mine from RedOctane and it arrived yesterday. Got my first five achievements before street date. Oh yeah!

Rock off with your socks off.

I picked it up a Fred Meyer this morning. I went there on Saturday and talked to one of the clerks, they said they had 5 copies already in the back. Unfortuately, I had to go to school at 7:40, so I could only play one song...then i had to go to work (where I am now), can't wait until I get home. :)

As stated numerous times, this game is a must have. The lack of wireless controller kinda sucks, but a wireless one should be out sooner or later and it's not like anyone has never used a wired controller before, so it's only a small "issue" other than that, it rocks 100%

Picked up my pre-order at gamestop. I did all the songs in easy, have gotten a few achivments (they come at weird times, and have started medium. Absolutely great game. Nearly perfect. Although, like everyone else, I am bumed the guitar is not wireless. But, even I can live with it.

Yeah, it definitely looks like a must-buy. However, one question is whether or not GH2 is regionless? Does anyone know yet? I have a japanese 360 but am back in the states for a week and will be looking to purchase it before returning home as long as there's no region lock on it. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks!

How long is the guitar cord? My 360 is in a closet and is a good 10' away from where I sit. Is it long enough?

From reading about the game, I don't quite understand the allure... But EVERYONE says the game is awesome... But nobody can explain why. I might have to try it out at a kiosk. :)

The guitar cord is around 8-9 feet long. I sit pretty close to my TV so it isn't a problem for me. This game is amazing. The songs are great. I am not even a rock fan and I'm still hooked. I don't mind the wired controller because if feels more realistic with a wire. My only complaint is that there is no ACDC, Metallica, or Jimi Hendrix. This isn't RedOctane's fault because the groups wouldn't allow them to use the songs. Hopefully, they'll be in Guitar Hero III. This game is a must buy for any 360 owner.

I have never played Guitar Hero and don't really see the appeal. I guess I could try it out at the store but if I do really like it I would have to spend $90. So I guess I am happy to be ignorant. That and the wire is a big deal for me, I have a 22 month old son.

"What say you fanboys, is it worth it?"

Yes. Seriously, there were doubts about that? :)

To be fair, this is my first real experience with GH, having only played at a Best Buy kiosk previously. But after playing for a few hours yesterday, I'm totally hooked.

Now bring on the downloadable songs already!

I have still yet to play the game but I might consider picking it up, especially with how well received this game has been as of late.

Curious:

Does anyone else experience a "treadmill" affect after you play yours? I say "treadmill" affect because it is almost similar to me as being on a treadmill for a while then getting off and feeling like the foor is moving. I get that with my eyes for 10 seconds or so, it looks like the screen or any object is moving, was just curious if anyone else had this happen to them. I get why they bugeyed guys is on there now, really fatigues the eyes.

I canceled a pre-order at gamestop and only paid 40 bucks for mine. The whammy bar is a little sluggish but that just means i have to rock harder =)

@ Big Bird

I had that happen to me once last night. I played for a few hours and after about an hour I guess I had focused really hard on a song and I looked around the room and everything was moving upwards for about 15 seconds. It was actually kinda cool once I realized what had done it and that I wasn't losing it.

Didn't happen to me anymore that night after that though.

You're not alone.
