Gamespot just threw up a new preview to Guitar Hero 2 (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/puzzle/guitarhero2/news.html?sid=6159308&autoplay=6159314&tag=topslot;action;3&om_act=convert&click=topslot) and it looks awesome so far, some of the other videos of the songs on there look insanely hard, "Mirsirlou" by Dick Dale looks fucking insane.
-
That video of Mirsirlou is only hard mode though. It seems doable without too much work though, expert might be a different story. I can't wait for this game.
-
For any of you interested, the November PSM has a demo of Guitar Hero 2 with 4 songs. You'd need to have a Guitar Hero controller to get full use out of it though.
-
How well (if at all) do these games control with the standard Dual Shock 2 controller? I've been trying out Gitaroo Man Lives! on the PSP (surprisingly liking it), and I watched that playback of Misirlou like 5 times. I just cannot see me holding a guitar-like accessory in front of a PC screen, and going wild. It's just not me.

The game works fine with a Dual Shock 2 controller, it just isn't nearly as fun as using the guitar controller. You use the R and L buttons along with some face buttons and you use the analog stick for the whammy bar if I remember correctly. The guitar contoller isn't all that cumbersome either and after awhile it feels natural, you should give the game a try at a place where they have a demo of it set up like Wal Mart or Best Buy.

It's not worth playing it with the controller. It does work, but it's not fun. There's always a kiosk at futureshop or best buy here where you could try it. Playing a song on easy difficulty will there will show you roughly how the game works.
