Kudos to CheapyDad and CheapyMom for being on the CAGCast, it was an honor having them on.
As an existing PS2 Guitar Hero 2 owner I have to say that I could not be any less excited for the 360 version of GH2 and was taken aback at the way CheapyD and Wombat were gushing at the new version as if it were a brand new release. While I understand their reasons for being excited here are a few reasons why in my cheapass opinion the 360 version of GH2 sucks compared to PS2:
- $10 more than the PS2 version, new features arguably not worth the extra cost (graphics, extra songs)
- No online play at launch (leaderboards don't count)
- Early defects with some 360 guitar models
- Still not better than GH1 (best song list by far)
Bottom line I feel that the 360 port of GH2 is too close to the PS2 version and that what they really should have done is release a signioficantly enhanced version (aka GH1+2) so they could offer something of value to the faithful PS2 fans.
