Being a Guitar Hero in '08

[Waveburner]

I just invested money into a guitar for PS2.
I hope these games still are coming to the PS2 platform.
I mean, thats where guitar hero started. Also, the only other console I own that GH is for is Wii but I have no guitar for my wii :(

No offense, but I hate that logic. Whenever a new game comes out, and there's a risk of it only being on newer systems, people always use the argument that the game started on "such-and-such" console...but take a minute to think about how stupid that logic is. If games only remained on the consoles they were originally released for, we'd still be playing Mario, Zelda, etc on NES. We never would have had the 3D MGS or FF games, and tons of other series would have been ended before they even began. I feel your pain. You payed for something that you might now have no use for...but take a minute to think about how little sense it makes to say that a game should be released on a system just because it originated there. :|

ok, I don't care if activison releases it for other consoles, I agree that it should be for other consoles, but, they'd lose a lot of money if they didn't release it for PS2 because the GH fanbase is the most prominent on that console.

I don't believe that. If it's coming for Wii and 360, I doubt they'll need a ps2 version. I'm surprised they even made one for Legends of Rock. Don't expect them to keep it up.

They can't get the rights to AC/DC songs and Led Zeppelin songs because of heavy copyrights made in the 60's and 70's.

Four games in one or two years? Jesus Christ.

Whoever thinks Aerosmith isn't good enough for their own game is wrong. Get Your Wings, Toys In The Attic, Rocks, and Draw The Line are four kickass albums that would be great for a Guitar Hero game. But as much as I love Aerosmith, a Guitar Hero game with only Aerosmith may not be that good of an idea...

Eh. I'd prefer a game that focuses on the 60s or 70s like folks have stated above. They owe us that for making a game called "Legends Of Rock" that had music from AFI, Slipknot, and The Killers on it.

Or even better: Guitar Hero: Southern Hellraising Edition. Containing some of the best blues and southern rock songs ever, IE, Lynyrd Skynyrd- That Smell, Ted Nugent- Stranglehold and Stevie Ray Vaughan- Little Wing. That would kick ass.

^ The Hendrix version of Little Wing is better. (Just sayin')
