^so this is not a windows based game

It does, there's 2 versions of it, one is the Mac, one is the PC.
Obviously the TS posted the Mac.

Still, this game is awesomely fun if you can get your hands on the game guitar.

lul the gameplay is abit same as the other music games right?

hahaha O2JAM with guitar at least way better than all lala songs in O2JAM

Nope... Those are system requirements for Windows.... Doesn't support 64bit... Only support 32bit OS...

Original comes with bundled GH2 guitar..... But dunno how much onli..... Just released in the US... Hav to wait n c.... At the moment, onli Xbox360 guitar controller supports it.....

Waaa for the PC also got now.. ..btw this guitar hero is not like 02jam..its actually really like playing a real guitar but it teaches wat note to press....sumting like 02jam but not cipalang type like that..u take a real guitar and the hero guitar and u press the same note it will make the same sound..Aiya, i dont know how to tell la..but its a good game..fun

review out already. although score not high but 4 those who like 2 spend a lot of time on music game, this is the game 4 you.

is it possible to buy only the guitar?... does the guitar work with PC frets on fire?, juz my friend ask me, he said that he saw this guitar sold around kl, PS version i think, and he tot maybe he could play FOF with the it.... if it possible to connect the guitar to PC and work with FOF...

Concept of both gameplay are same but O2 Jam are more to kids, while Guitar Hero are more to adult cause most songs we play are from rock music genre.

thats why i say GH is way better than that kids game. in fact all online games especially DOTA is kids game but i dont understand why a lot of people like online kids game very much.

Nope... The Xbox 360 standalone guitars are not for sale until 2008..... If u hav Xbox 360 guitar controller, it will work with this game.... Of coz can work with FOF... All u need is just the drivers.. For PS2 version of guitar controller, saw on the forums stated that it might work but the whammy bar is a bit of a nuisance coz u need to map it according to keyboard layout.... For safer side, get the 360 guitar....

And btw, Guitar Hero 3 on PC works with Vista 64bit.... Just tried mine not long.... Quite entertaining with keyboard as well.... Might get the guitar also...

Overall, this game is damn addictive.... Can't stop playing....

Hmm sound like nice, but if my E6320 + 2GB ram + 7900gs ... ok to run ah ? look like very high spec pc to play it.

I'm sure u can play it.... Refer to the system requirements above....

Although I'm not good in this kind of game, but just want to try

I dunno how to play a guitar at all.... Even worst.... But it's quite easy to play..... The onli thing is u need a guitar to get the full experience....

eh one question~

is this game release in malaysia yet? i already look at ebay, their sold with guitar package RM300 something ~_~

hahaha guitar simulation is like that ma just like racing simulation need momo wheels 2 race

U can try ordering from ur local games store..... But for me, I'll get the Xbox 360 version of the game and u can use that guitar on the PC.... I dun like wired controllers.... Scared I'll trip.....



Very true.... This is even more fun than racing simulation.... Damn addictive..... If dun wanna buy the guitar, u always can hold ur keyboard in a manner where it simulates a guitar..... just like in FOF... the onli bad thing is u can't do whammy.... onli if ur keyboard is on ur desk, then can do whammy coz u need a mouse to do it......

i've played before GH with the guitar on Xbox360..damn cool!!
but the guitar itself cost 100++USD for one
just wondering how much it will cost for PC version

It's sold on ebay for around RM330....

Wait what? min 7600 for nVidia but X800 for ATI?

so expensive how we gonna buy and use it??
but i believe sooner or later someone will come out with cheaper version just like the dancing pad..

For PS2 got la... That's original mah... Of coz it cost that much.... The bundle comes with the original Xplorer guitar from GH2 from Xbox 360 leh.... I think it's quite reasonable but a bit expensive already coz on ebay they mark it up during the holidays coz everywhere also sold out.... Just be patient......

I'm sure they will... It's just a matter of time....

i just shit my pants when i read it.
will trying it out on my Geforce Super Duper 4 Series.

hey, o2jam is FUN! you guys dono how to play

I know how to play O2Jam la.... But dun quite like it..... Prefer this and Rock Band...

o2jam is 4 kids and LCLY lala chai/muis only

I second that... Hahaha!!!

Wonder where can get the guitar cheap cheap? But i heard can buy ps2 ver guitar then use convertor.

I have to agree with you.

btw, can u add ur own song to play?

This thread keeps reminding me of the Guitar Hero episode of South Park.

woot, just beat easy mode lol.syok la....

more syok dan O2jam

sadly no if there is such feature, then i would add the final countdown song in the custom playlist already

orly? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShSkbXstcNA <---can u explain this for me?

haiyah so easy no challenge at all thats why O2JAM sucks cocks and will never be better than guitar hero any time

^
Talk in cheap, bring on the heat.

aiyoh, easy? on o2jam i need to pratice 6 months to play Hard songs and still abit suck at it.
guitar hero only a week can finish the whole game ady no challenge. accept for TTFOF

ttfof is fukken insane. but raining blood is more insane.

eh, is that on hard?

whats TTFOF anyway..?

haha..try the xpert mode..dang cannot meh, press all 4 buttans simultaneously using keyboar make me

need to purchase the guitar next year..

through the fire and flames, as made famous by dragonforce.
bonus song after you completed career mode.

TTFAF la dey, And starts with O pulak,

The fun starts when you start playing in Expert.

The songs start to get insanely hard and with the addition of the orange button, your finger's will die screaming due to excessive stretching.

im doing it wrong. ttfof..

what makes this game so high requirements wan?

According to news articles, why it requires so much is bcos it is a direct port of Xbox 360....

Expert mode ar?? Haihz... Can't play that unless u hav a guitar... If use keyboard, might as well u go jump down from a building....

Added on December 4, 2007, 9:50 amJust bought the bundle package for Xbox 360 yesterday.... It's easier to use the guitar controller to play GH3.... Been playing non-stop till 4.30am... LOLZ!!!!

Damn... It's so addictive.... Just makes u wanna play more.....

yeah man!!!! woohooo!!!

rock on baby!!!!

Much better than O2JAM. That one was a freakin' joke.

Can't wait to get an X-Plorer before Christmas- getting my 2900XT to do TV-out and jamming whole night long...

this game use real guitar note or like o2jam and the guitar izzit sold in msia?

if using keyboard on expert mode, maybe i'll karate the keyboard into two.

not karate, tang su do the keyboard.
