lol i picked up RB2 last night, but heck for $5 i'm down.

Man if I can find them for $2.50 new it's practically worth it just to replace the cases of games that have sticker marks from GS used (or new in some cases)

a couple of (gainable) achievement points are better than nothing (plus it's 5 bucks). Nice find CheapyD. I'm gonna go and get the game sometime this week.

I don't understand all the hate for this game. I saw it at BB for $5 as well today, and while I've only been able to play it for about 30 minutes so far, it's a decent game. Can't really compare to Rock Band as I've never played them, but as far as GH goes, I'd say it's on par with at least the older ones in the series. For $5, a good deal if you ask me. Only complaints I have is that all the songs are unlocked from the get go (or at least appear that way going through the list in quick play) along with how the notes come down the screen. Outside of that though, those are pretty minor complaints IMO.

I played this game a few months ago. It's pretty bad when compared to Rock Band or even to GH, but it's not *quite* as bad as most of the reviews made it out to be. It's far from good, but not the worst game ever made. I managed to get 580 achievement points out of it, and that was only playing the guitar parts. I think there are a few more achivements I could get if I completed a drum career, and then a couple hundred that I can probably never get because I'm not good enough on expert. I wouldn't recommend this if you were spending a significant amount of money, but for 4 or 5 bucks worth of trade-in credit, well...

By the way, I've never seen a game with a $4.49 used price before. That's the 360 price, the PS3 used price is $3.99. Weird.

$5? By one measure, I've heard bad things about this game. By another measure, I do have some experience with Guitar Freaks and I'm a whore for rhythm games. Count me in.

Problem: that's the DS version of the game. I've played it. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about the DS game beyond the fact that it doesn't break your DS. It is an absolute failure. Avoid at all costs.

If taking the game from them gave you a $5 off coupon for a future purchase, I'd think about having this in my house.

It's gotta flip somewhere for more than $5.

Thanks op. Will buy on Monday at lunch. Gamestop near work lets me get this games without breaking a sweat.

The highest GS according to a 360 achievement site I looked at is around 600 by our own flamedliquid. After seeing the difficulty of the expert level I was curious if anyone could get an expert achievement on that game. Anyway, for $5 it's worth it to me if you don't mind not getting all achievements, if you don't mind covers some of which are lacking and some do sound like the real deal, if you love other guitar games and you need more cause you've played them to death. Basically it is inferior, but it's not as bad as advertised as there are some aspects that are actually better or a fresh take on the typical gameplay.

Agreed. I bought the game a long time ago when it first dropped to $10 and it really isn't that bad. A lot of the covers are better than some of the GH covers from the first 3 games. There's actually a very impressive cover of Breaking Benjamin's Diary of Jane. It does require some getting used to as the notes come straight down, but it really isn't that bad. Most people slamming this game probably have never even played it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I enjoyed the guitar game in RR more than the guitar game in GH4. It's nothing compared to RB2, but it's more fun than the notecharts in GH4.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again

This game doesn't look to be worth even 5 bucks in my opinion.

Anything that improves System Of A Down songs is totally worth it, what are you talking about??

yay?

Bill Cosby's Jewish brother doesn't make any song better...

And no I am not talking about Wombat.

I'm slightly ashamed to say I might buy this.

So true.
I absolutely agree. It's getting so old!

It's like everyone has to get their own say.

I bought this game for $10, and got about 10 minutes of play time out of it. It really isn't very good, especially if you've played RB or GH.

I might run over to Gamestop today and buy a copy of it.

This isn't even a good derivative game, as the awful covers kill any chance of it being worth playing alone.

Hmm ... footlong sandwich or Rock Revolution. Both may leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I'll probably be done with both in about 10 minutes, so it's a toss up.
