Long-time community member TuxedoJericho sent in an excellent top five list. They are tips to playing Rock Band… and will work for Guitar Hero, as well! Both of these games are a lot of fun, with varying skill levels. The DVD graphics for this game are simply amazing, as well as the clarity.
- If you have any type of pitch control and know how to control the pitch of your voice, then the singing is just for you. You do not need to say the words, or even in the tempo of the song. Just hit the correct pictch and you are golden.
- Drums are hard for anyone that is not used to drumming on a set. You have to get the timing with both arms and the feet down. You can not turn off the kick pedal like the demo systems in stores. If you need to, use the guitar or mic to unlock all the songs and then practice the drumming on the difficulties to learn the rhythm for the songs, and then progress to learning what each limb is supposed to do. Also, during some songs, most noticeable in the guitar solos, the singer can whack the mic to represents hit on a tamborine or a cowbell. Even if you are off tempo, or just ignore them all together these do not count against you. Nor does it count against you if you do, or say anything when it’s quet vocal times.
- Guitars are very similar to the Guitar Hero games. The only differences in the guitars in this game from the previous games are they have a “pitch/tone selector” button like most guitars. When you go into “overdrive” (which was the old STAR POWER system in the older games), you can select a different pitch/tone by moving the selector. you can different sounds with FLANGER, ECHO, Wah-WAH, and CHORUS. Also, they have added smaller frets farther down the neck. This is great for kids, or people with smaller hands. It also represents the fast picking of some guitarist when they do a solo.
- Multiplayer is fun. I have done this on the demo system at a local Best Buy. One person can control the guitar, drums, and voice out of the special edition box. If you have Guitar Hero II or III for the 360, or Guitar Hero III for the ps3 and get the special edition box, you can even add a fourth person as a bassist.
- Practice. You must practice Christopher-San. Sorry, had a Mr. Miagi moment there.. But practicing the songs help. you can attempt the songs on higher settings just to see what you could do… without the crushing defeat if you fail out of a song.
