Guitar Hero 2 vs Guitar Hero 3
Unfortunately in the past little while, I haven’t been as productive with the sheet music as I’d like to be.. This can be narrowed down to 3 very simple reasons:
1) Guitar Hero 3
2) Guitar Hero 2
3) Buying GH2 and GH3 pretty much at the same time
Having played a real guitar for a while, transitioning those skills onto these games has been pretty smooth. I got the games a few weeks ago and I’m working on the last batch of songs on Expert Level on both games now, which is about as fun, frustrating, and time consuming as you might suspect.
A lot of people criticized GH3 for being too similar to it’s predecessors, but playing both games simultaniously you come to the realization that there are some key differences in the gaming engine.
GH3 is very very forgiving in the timing of your notes compared to GH2 and 1. If you strum +/- one-sixteenth note of where the note should be, it will still register as a hit note. One sixteenth note is 1/4 of a quarter note, so 4 of them fit into one beat. When the notes start flying at you, this can be quite the handicap; sometimes it feels like I’m just going nuts on the clicker/strummer button, and running my index finger up and down the 5-button fretboard, which works somehow. I don’t die and I pass the level and feel marginally better about myself.
To make up for this, in GH3 when you start to slip up, you slip and fall and die really really quickly. At times it’s almost like the yellow range doesnt’ even exist anymore. I’ll be well into the green and playing, miss a few notes and somehow find myself just about to enter the red, at which I’ll hit Star Power just in time to die and get booed off stage. What good is Start Power if you die too fast to use it?
It feels these tweaks were made to open the door for more extra-ridiculous solos that you now have a fair chance of faking your way through, assuming you don’t slip….which isn’t necessarily a bad or good thing. Just a …thing.
Still, at the end of the day, it’s the same game you’re playing. Both games have some songs that are hard for very stupid physical reasons, leading to frustration and hand cramps. However, for every one of those tracks, there is a song which is both fun to play and challenging that you find yourself going back to once in a while just for kicks.
Just….please let me finish these games so I can get on with my life.
Oh wait, but there’s still Rock Band.
Dammit.
