Weekend Catch Up Fighter II Turbo X

Well, it’s whole week really, not just a weekend. I have recently played these: Guitar Hero World Tour (360)Meh. It’s very Meh now. And Meh isn’t good. Some of the tracks are OK, but very few are excellent. And what’s with all the country and western? Pah. Street Fighter IV (360)I’m rubbish. Really rubbish. Even on Easy I’m having difficulty beating Seth. And El Fuerte is the most ridiculous to control character ever, Ever! Scribblenauts (DS)Still excellent and hilarious. Funny …

Guitar Hero World Tour (360)

After I dropped off my broken Wii at the post office yesterday, I went next door to Blockbuster and accidentally bought Guitar Hero World Tour and Street Fighter IV in a two for £30 deal. And? Well, it’s Guitar Hero. Only with a pants setlist. Also, I know that it’s now a full-band title so some tracks will be better for guitar than others, but tracks like No Sleep Til Brooklyn actually allow the guitar player to sleep through. It’s …

Guitar Hero: On Tour (DS): COMPLETED!

Well, hand cramp or no, I completed it this afternoon. It had to be done in three sittings as it hurt so much, but eventually I managed it. So, yeah. Not a bad game, just not really suited for the DS. And the track list is, aside from a few songs, somewhat worse than other Guitar Hero games. But I only paid £12 for it, so I’m not going to complain too much.

Guitar Hero: On Tour (DS)

It’s Guitar Hero! On the DS! With added hand cramp! That’s right – hand cramp. It’s pretty much all the DS version brings to the game, actually. No matter which way I hold it, I get cramp on my little finger and wrist. Not that my little finger is of much use, as I can barely reach the blue button with it, meaning I have no hope at all with the harder difficulty levels. But I persevered with it, and …

Guitar Hero III (360): COMPLETED!

“Lou” was totally impossible yesterday. I couldn’t even come close to beating him. And yet, for some reason, I managed it on my first try today without realising I was almost there. Amazing. You have to “finish him” after that (which is basically just finishing the song), and then it was credits time – complete with another track to play over (or, more literally, under) them. With that all done, I went and bought all the rest of the bonus …

Guitar Hero III (360)

So I beat Slash and made it up as far as Satan. Sorry, Lou, not Satan. Pff. And he’s impossible as the notes are completely random and move far too fast for mere humans. Which is probably why he wins, what with not being human and all. It’s a shame, because I’d managed to 4 or 5 star every track leading up to him without too much difficulty. I even mastered hammer-ons and pull-offs, but only for one track, but …

Guitar Hero III (360)

Rock! Again! This arrived yesterday, but I was out all evening so didn’t give it a play until this evening. I’m not really sure what to say, actually. It’s just more of the same. Sort of. Of course, there’s the new track listing, but I’m finding it somewhat lacking at the moment. There haven’t been many great songs (yet) – no Bowie, nothing like Bark at the Moon or Surrender, and lots of those available I’ve never even heard of …

Assorted 360 Demos (360)

Four game demos tested today. Three were new on the downloads and the other has been there a while but I haven’t played it until now. Anyway – the games! Battlestar Galactica:Crap. It’s basically the same game as Wing Commander Arena, which was also crap (and by the same people) with slightly different graphics. Rubbish. Guitar Hero III:AMAZING. But then, that was obvious, yes? Exit:Would be great if it ran at least three times faster than it does. What idiot …

Guitar Hero II (360)

OH. MY. LORD. Not only did I manage to complete a track on Hard mode, but I then went on to complete FOUR more afterwards! To you rock gods, this is like walking and talking, but to me it’s like flying and shooting lasers from my eyes. Amazing! And I also completed a couple more bought tracks on Medium, finding them alarmingly easy in the process.

Guitar Hero II (360)

“Jordan” on Expert is impossible. I would just like to make that known. I mean, everything on Hard is impossible (for me) anyway, but I though I’d just have a try of Jordan on Expert as it nets you an achievement if you beat it. 3% complete. 4%. 5%. Then 3% again. Not a chance in hell. So I tried practising it. On the slowest setting. And still I couldn’t really progress without nine out of ten notes being somewhat …

Guitar Hero II (360)

It seems I gained another achievement today, for buying all the guitar finishes. Again, I haven’t actually bought them all, but I got the achievement anyway. Also tried a few of the “bought” bonus tracks, including Trogdor (which was a bit bloody hard). Played through some of the existing tracks as well, to bump my stars and scores up a little. Psychobilly Freakout is still impossible, however.

Guitar Hero II (360)

With all the tracks on Medium now done, it was time to start going for 5 Star rankings on them all, and bump myself up the leaderboards a little. In fact, there’s not much bumping up the leaderboards I can do, on my friends list at least – I’m first, second or third for almost every track, and am second overall for the career. Aces! Anyway. I have at least the first 24 (of 48) tracks now 5 Star ranked, …
