I played "War Pigs" at Best Buy last night. The game feels very similar to the first one, but that's certainly not a bad thing.

I've played through the whole career mode on Medium...and 5 starred all the songs on Medium too....I'm gonna go through a new Career on Easy, and get more money to buy the rest of the stuff I need.
it is a kick ass game though...my faves are "The Beast And The Harlot" "Laid To Rest" and of course.....Free Bird.

Surprisingly, I dont like Free Bird very much. I mean, I love the actual song, but in game, its pretty boring to play. So far, my favorite and least favorite songs to play are:
Favorite Megadeth - Hangar 18 Dick Dale - Misirlou Reverend Horton Heat - Psychobilly Freakout Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine Lamb of God - Laid to Rest Anthrax - Madhouse
Least Favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knockin' Iggy Pop and the Stooges - Search and Destroy Stray Cats - Rock This Town
The ones I mainly like are the faster songs that provide more of a challenge. The ones I dont like are either just plain boring to play, or have some really annoying parts in them.

Bought it yesterday from Best Buy and apparently you get a copy of Waynes World the movie with purchase, which I found pleasantly surprising.
Overall, the game is great. People over on the GH forums are bitching about the setlist, but I like II's setlist way better than I.

I don't think you can earn money in Easy.

I've never had as much fun playing a game as I do when I am playing "Sweet Child O' Mine". Seriously, that song is so damn fun to play on hard it isnt even funny.

I'm so close to beating it on Expert (I always start the game on Expert). Last song left - Free Bird. On Expert, that song is in tough in the 4-5 note hammers. Like, gah, it's hard to explain, but it's defiantely tough. I love YYZ. It's probably my favorite. It's so fun to play, along with War Pigs, Sweet Child O' Mine, Beast and the Harlot, Woman, Killing in the Name, and Free Bird (even thoguh I can't beat it lol). Institutionalized is in HARD. But ti's a damn good song. Same goes for Hangar 18. Miserlou was pretty easy, wasn't as hard as made out to be. Guitar Hero is my favorite video game series (tied with Metal Gear Solid). EDIT Oh, I forgot. Last Child is the sheez.

Actually no, in this case you're wrong. Pretty much every game store in the nation has it ready for sale next week. They cants ell it however because it isnt in their system. They dont control when it goes in, it's controlled by a higher authority. I would know this cause a friend of mine works at Gamestop, another friend at Hastings, and another Wal-Mart, they all said the same thing. They can have it in stock, but if its not in the system they cant sell it...legally. They have rules which they have to follow, let them do their job and quit being a dick about it. arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/10/26/5761If they can't do it, then why were they? Sucks being wrong doesn't it? They can sell it, but they get fines for it and can lose the ability to sell ps2 games. There are HUGE fines associated with selling games , dvd's and cd's early. And no, the customer isn't always right.

This game kicks ass the song I had most trouble with(I'm playing on expert), is the Beast and Harlot. However Hangar 18 and Sweet Child o' Mine have to be favorite songs to play.

Infact I think that Carry Me should have been in the final tear, and Institudionalized should have been moved down. Going by how hard they were to me. The biggest surprise on diffculty was Were Gonna Rock This Town/

Indeed Carry Me should be moved up. I cannot, for the life of me, get five stars on it. Its the only one I need too. And yes, Sweet Child O' Mine is also my favorite song to play. The intro just kicks so much ass.

Note To Self: Buy several backup controllers for solely this song.

100% on "Heart Shaped Box" on expert.
My damn hand hurts. This game is going to give me carpotunnel at a very young age.

i'm stuck on Free Bird STILL. I've practiced that song up and down. Still love the game. Haha, Dethklok is on here. That gave me a kick. Oh ya, BulletV1, you're right, Carry Me was tough, and should be in the final tier, NOT Misirlou. I beat that song first try. "Six" by All That Remains is one of the hardest songs I've played yet. I am in love with this franchise. (Remember I've only played on Expert so far)
