No there is no career mode in co-op (which is ashame because that would be awesome). However, you get scores and ratings in co-op for the songs and there are 8 bass guitars that can be unlocked by playing songs in co-op mode
I had the same prob!
go to the practise screen and practice the sections that you have trouble with, and if im right it is the bridge and solo's
another trick is save all your start power, and use it at the hard bit, so the notes you hit increase the score by alot, and you dont need to hit as much notes as you would without star power
hope this helps!
I didnt have much of a problem with it, btu im going to recommend not to dopractice mode, its alot easier to do it at normal speed, even if it is in practice mode. but practice mode doesnt give any motivation, since you cant fail it. I only use it for certain solos, and such.
A way to beat woman on hard is if you keep practicing and keep practicing you will probably be able to finish the song if you get better at the game with practice mode
Same problem here. When I started playing guitar hero my buddy just told me what to do and I aced all of the medium level songs. Then when I went onto Hard in my career I just couldn't get through Woman. I went back to the practice area and still couldn't do it. Then I went back to 'lessons' and actually sat through the three different lessons. Lesson 3 is the key - hammerons and pull-offs will get you through Woman. I think its the first song you really need to use these on to get you through to the next stage.
I'm struggling with this one too. In case you haven't figured it out already, play most of the song in the second hand position (index on red) and use HOPOs for the bridge and solo. Also, that fast G-R-Y-B, G-R-Y-O section at the end of the bridge can be played better (for me) by sliding my hand down so my ring finger hits the blue. Then, if I need to hit orange I can just set my pinky on it.
Actually its like a real guitar and how you get better with it. electric guitar legends didnt get on the computer and ask. Everyone who is great has put in there time to be there. I remember when I got to the hard section and I realized that I wasn't thinking about the notes anymore. it came with practice. now im pro. good luck.
Ends on your playing style.
Mainly the best tip I can give you is to memorize your fingerings on comand. Try playing with the lower possition ( first finger on the 2nd button) and just stretch your first finger to hit green. Unless your hand is really small it should work without any problems.
I don't suggest going on practice and slowing down the song because you'd have to practice every song that would be hard for you.
2 thing to say 1) get the guitar..more fun. 2) yes it is. try holding down the L2 button or L1 and then enter the code. im not to sure what L it is so try them.if they dont work try the R ones.
You can enter cheats, but the dual shock controllers have a delay with games like guitar hero and time crisis and other not pad-style games, so it makes it much harder to enter the cheats fast enough
You get stars based on note percent AND score. Make better use of you star power, try to use it on sections with alot of notes and when you have 4x multiplier.
U have to play it on at least medium and its not percentage cause me and my friend played tonite I'm gunna rock you tonite and both got 100% and still only got 4 stars you have to get a certain amount of points.
The whole star system has absolutely nothing to do with the percentage of notes you get correct. The star system is based solely on your score. Each song has a set point range for each star rating. Sorta like: 30k-65k = 3 stars, 66k-99k = 4 stars, 100k+ = 5 stars. I have scored 5 star ratings for songs that I only made an 86% on. And on some songs, I get a 4 star rating even though I nail 96% of the notes. It's all about the score. Getting a 4X multiplier, then jacking it up to 8X with star power where there's a lot of notes.
If you want to get 5 stars, don't worry. just make a huge combo. Trust me, I 5-starred Free Bird on Expert with 83%. No joke! I just didn't mess up the slow part and the 1st part of the solo. All you have to do is just not mess up on stuff you could do.
Its not about the score or the percent, its about the average multiplyer. >2.0 for 3 stars, 2.0 for 4 stars, 2.8 for 5 stars.
no joke. I played several songs to figure this out. I got 2.7 on different songs and only got 4 stars. when I got 2.8 or higher on any song I got 5 stars. as far as I know this only applies to single player. co-op im certain is score related.
The third answer is totally bogus.
It's % and pts. According to "pts only" there's no way to get more than 3 stars on many of the songs (they are very short and with their highest possible score, using star power throughout, you can still only get about 55,000 pts. And that's definitely not fact, because I've gotten 5 stars SEVERAL times on short songs with
The 3rd answer is right.
It's about the points.
EACH song has a set range of points to get each star rating.
Keeping a good combo going is a good strategy to get a high score. Using star power to further higher your score is extremely helpful.
Ok look in co-op you will need both percentage and score, but they must work together. Like if one person gets 50% but the other gets 100 you will get 3 star. not only this but the scores must be good unless you both get 100 percent and dont use star power. Star power also counts, the less you use it the more stars.
I am going to have to go with the assumption that the song you played was Tonight I am Gonna Rock (Tonight), in any case, there are some songs that simply require one of you to be doing Hard mode to aquire enough points to achieve the rating. For ex: if you play TIGRT both on easy and both get 100% of the notes with no foul up s and using all the star power phrases in the correct point, you will still only get 4 stars. If you think I am wrong guitar gurus, try it yourself.
- its points not percentages that get you the star rating (with exception to five gold in single player)
You can sit there and not use ANY Star Power and get 5 stars... you have to get a high enough percentage on EACH SECTION OF THE SONG. To check how you did, go to "More Stats" after you finish the song. There's a cutoff percentage, and you have to get at least that much on EVERY SECTION to get 5 stars.
WOW! in Guitar Hero its all about your score. % has absolutely nothing to do with it. There is a certain score you need for different amounts of stars. You can get 60% on a song and still 5* it as long as you have a high enough score. If you think i'm wrong look at scorehero.com
I got a 98% on one song and only missed 5 notes and I still only got 4 stars! But then I played it again... and got a 95% and got 5 stars!1...yea thats crazy huh?...the video game makers come up with some bogus stuff! haha
Ok, hopefully I can end this whole chain of answers right here. the GH2 starring system is ONLY based on score. believe me, im about 5 songs from getting 5 stars on all expert songs. the percentage is just to tell you how you did, and where your strengths are. There is an exact point value you have to reach to get five star. I swear, some of these people are such noobs.
It's all based on points man...go to scorehero.com and it gives you the total score to beat for each song. If you do that then you get the amount of stars it says next to the score. I know people are saying stuff like its multiplyer and stuff but the truth is you probaly need a good enough multiplyer to get the points...but overall its points
On the Xbox 360 there is a way to download songs onto your console and play them through it; however there is not a way to do this on the Playstation 2.
Well, you should check if any of your friends or family know how to mod or hack before you do anything. If one of them can, you should definetly (sp?) ask him/her to mod the game for you. They will probably know how, too.
You have to check ur ps2 to see if it's modded or not, if it is you will see a special chip inside it. you also need GEX (guitar hero explorer) on your computer. it's long process but you can do it and it takes a little luck.
Ya G Ex is a thing on your comp that lets you put custom songs on GH2,me myself dont know how to do it...but I would like to find out and epecially get some AC/DC and Ramones,and Clash on there.
A2:
Gex (Guitar Hero Explorer) can be used on either guitar hero 1 or 2, Guitar Hero 2 is just plain easier to modify though.
This program will let you open the files on your disc via the dvdrom tray on your computer, Note must be the original disc not a copy YOURS NOT RENTED NOT STOLEN OR BORROWED MEANING BUY THE GAME AND THEN YOU MAY USE IT FOR YOURSELF AND NOT FOR SALE OR INFINGEMENT OF ANY KIND. If you can find a way to do that then your good. Anywho when you have the gex program open you should see a file button in the upper left hand corner press that and select Archive> copy from dvd (the dvd rom drive that you have YOUR game in). This may take a little while, then you go into the songs folder on the left hand side. You will notice a litle plus press that to open the folders when you get to the song you wish to replace you will see that there are more files then one? thats ok how do you think they make the star power sound different different track that is linked to it. just find the main vgs file
Ex. ftk.vgs NOT Ex. ftk.voc, ftk._p50vgs, ect
Just the main one some of the songs are a little different but once you get it well its easy.
Right Click on the vgs and hit import (select a mp3 or wav ect) and it will replace the song that was on there with the selected one. Well now that you got the song you want to hit the notes right?
Find the mid file next to the other files in the song folder (these mid files are listed at scorehero.com or can be made by you) and right click that you will choose import and find the corresponding mid file that matches your vgs that was a song you wanted.
Note you may find that the song and the notes do not match up this is due to the fact that people modify the songs when downloading the song or ripping it off of the cd they have, so the blank part in the begining may vary. If this is so then reimport the song but befor chosing the channels for the sound (left options are left channels and on the right is the right channels pretty simple) right click on the song and it will give you some options choose properties and you will see the option box with OFFSET in it, next to that you will see a box that you can fill in. These numbers are mesured in miliseconds so you have to kind tinker around you can go positive to bring the vgs to play later IF THE NOTES COME TO LATE or negitively IF THE NOTES COME TO SOON. Adjust that and the song should line up.
After you have finished you can just close the gex it is a program that modifies in real time so there is no saving just editing.
Now you have choices to make
-If you have a Ps2 hard drive (FFXI Game comes with it or at least search for a compatible one and format it using WinHiip) you can make an Iso using many programs (I use UtraISO it is simple) then open WinHiip and copy that to the hard drive that you connected to your computer and formatted. Select the Hard Drive it should say PS2 next to the option NOT PC. You will see the gray options blacken and then you press add you can just copy it via the game to the hard drive or from your made ISO, in this case your custom game is NOT ON THE ORIGINAL DISC so pick the ISO you made and it will add it to the hard drive in PS2 format.
When your done, shut down your computer and remove the hard drive and insert it into the ps2 slot in the back (there is a removable spot in the back of a FAT PS2 the thin ones have another method of achiving a softmod with a USB HARD DRIVE but the Ps2 Fat does not go well with the USB so stick with INTERNAL HARD DRIVE. This option is best cause you don't waste dvdRs and it will not get scratched or lost (by the way to connect the hard drive to the ps2 you will need the 10 dollar eathernet connection piece for the back.
-Burn it to a disc, pick your ISO and burn it to a DVDR when you do this use QUALITY MEDIA I mean the dvdr should be a compatible one not
Ex. Imation or other cheap ones but Ex. Sony and others are good.
These things take some time to learn from modifying your PS2 to making your songs, a lot of reading will help you but unless you know what you are doing your not going to get very far... Look throught the internet for answers they ARE there just search for them.
My ps2 was doing the same thing and throwing the music off beat... my disk was brand new and had no scratches... I ended up taking my ps2 appart and cleaning the laser lense... be careful when doing so though... dont touch the lense with your fingers... use 2 q-tips and isopril alcohol... use one dry q-tip to hold down the laser and the other (with alcohol) to clean it...
Your ps2 needs to be cleaned and sometimes if you leave your disk out of its case and its not IN the ps2, dust will get on it and leave scrathces. If there are a lot of scratches on your disk, try putting alcohol on it and wipe it off with a Q-tip
Sumthing might be wrong with your ps2 or your xbox 360 , or your cd is scratched .. it does the same thing to me sometimes , but when it does that , it means you'll have to get another ps2 or CD
Well one of my 360 games has messed up before and I took my friends advise and I will pass it to you. put some normal toothpaste on your disk all around in the silver part,NOT the clear center.then what you do is rince off the toothpaste in warm water.pat dry and then try to play.make sure to use colgate or something like that because some toothpast will just dammage the disk.Rock on my fellow rockers! -Answer by:asqurttgun
Hold the guitar as you normally would, but to hit the blues you NEED to use your PINKY. cant do half the songs on medium or hard without the pinky...practice the pinky, padawan...
After awhile of playing medium using the pinky will come so naturally that even the hardest songs on medium will be as easy as 123. It took me awhile too. Now my concern is playing on hard and expert which I suck at, but hard is getting a little easier.
You don't need to restart the PS2, but you're in the right menu. You may have entered the code incorrectly. Try again, but this time, enter the code faster.
Are you sure you're not using the correct version? cuz there are two versions of the cheats.......for the regular ps2 and for PAL ps2! (i think pal is modded [the fat one])
There are many different cheats for the same things what you need to do is go to main menu {just the main menu} search for other codes for the same thing.
Its at the main menu heres some to get you started horse head b,o,o,b,o,o,b,o,o,b hyper speed b,o,y,o,b,o,y,o and my favorite performense mode y,y,b,y,y,o,y,y
It happened to me. For some odd reason, when I tried a Performance mode cheat from the Cheats section, it made my fret section, score, and rock meter dissappear so I hjad to guess what notes I had to hit. -Answer by:BobDoleRulz
Use practice mode. Start on the slowest and do the parts proceeding the part you are bad at AND the part after it. Once you figure you are doing better, move up to the next fastest speed. Make sure to use Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs.
This one was hard for me too, you need to practise the parts in the beginning hammeron pillof section, and make sure you get all the starpower notes the first 2 times it comes up, then you can use the power quick and limp through the song lol
For certain notes, you don't need to strum all of them. If there's a string of different notes coming up, you can strum just the first one and fret the rest. That only works, though, on some notes: if you look at the white thingamabob on top, some of them will have a ring around them. The ones without the ring you don't have to strum. For the rest, though, like on Misrlou (sp?), you just have to go up and down really fast. =)
My preference is to play it like a bass guitar with index and middle finger. Always always IMIMIMIMIM. I taped a cut piece of straw just above the pick guard for a thumb rest. I just picked up GH 80's a week ago, started on expert and I've got two songs left to finish expert. Of course, GH 80's is easier.
Move the strum bar up and down(that means to alt strum) really fast if the notes are close together. If that doesnt work just try to strum really fast.
You just practice. it's that simple. I'm 16, got the game two weeks ago, and have beaten Hard already. don't take the fun out of the game, just get better and feel good about yourself :)
Say that you are playing and a red note appears then an orange one after that.... move your first finger to the red instead of your second finger and then shift all of your fingers down one so that you are ready for the upcoming orage one!
I got 3 words for you my friend. USE YOUR PINKY,USE YOUR PINKY,USE YOUR PINKY. I know its hard but YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR PINKY IF YOU WANT TO BEAT THE GAME OR TO PLAY FAST IN RAL LIFE. trust me I play guitar in a band and I know how hard it was for me to learn to use my pinky but TRUST ME USING YOUR PINKY IS THE KEY. GOOD LUCK
Yeah man use your pinky ,... but you use your pinky on medium, so you should be able just to shift your fingers down, what I did was I just played medium until I knew I was up for a chalenge (when I kepts geting 5 stars and 98 %) good luck bud
Study songs you absolutely can't pass. for these songs, just keep your fingers starting on red. you can press green notes with the edge of your pointer, easily.
Lol, to the responses above me. on some songs there r orange notes on medium, as well as power chords. these r mainly to bonus songs, but I think there might be one song in which theres an orange note on medium. anywa,s they key is to learn how to put ur pointer finger on red, otherwise u will [bold]never[/bold] beat the game
It depends on the song really, but I find it's easier to keep your 4 fingers on the higher notes, and stretch your index to cover both the red and the green button.
Put your index finger on the red button middle finger on the yellow button etc. put a rubber band on the green button so u dont have to stretch ur finger over to it u just have to strum when there is a green note.
Put your index fingers on the red button. Then if you have a G-Y chord stretch your index finger to the green while keeping your middle finger on yellow. Of course you can't do this for a G-R chord, but if you absolutely must move your hand down, try to get it back asap
My way is when yuo see an orange note slide all your fingers down 1 fret then when you see a green go back up.... after you do it for a while it gets easy
Try it again try it slower until you get it down in your mind then you can do it faster to do it or if that doesnt wrok then double check the cheat or its not a cheat -Answer by:probasketball28
Ranks
One star Get 64% or less of the notes correct.
Two stars Get 65% to 76% of the notes correct.
Three stars Get 76% to 88% of the notes correct.
Four stars Get 88% to 96% of the notes correct.
Five stars Get at least 96% of the notes correct.
Gold five stars Get every note correct on a song.
That is false information. I played a song and got like something around 90% and I got 4 stars. Then my brother played it and he got higher score than me but around 86-88%. I missed a few notes with gaps and he missed a couple of more but at the same time so he could keep his x4 multiplier most of the time. I got up to like x3 and then I missed one over and over again. Once again, He got 5 stars, I got 4. I had more %, he had more score. Since all songs have different ammount of score to achieve, there's no "score for 5 stars".
It might not be the propper cheat ...
but if you REALLY want to get all of them I reckon you should start practising ... for me , well its easy coz my handz are very addicted to it .. HEHE :P
Its on number three or a hack witch I saw on youtube have a file for guitar hero 2 put it in your computer there is a pop up click on it and put it on tell your friend from cheat helper not realy a helper
Alright dudes master of masters! ok really now it took me 2 hours to beat Jordan, its all about you getting into the song and just be with the beat, before you even think about trying it go to Traning and practice solo A B and C first keep practing until you can accomplish at least 73% after that do the other half and then the whole solo but try it on slower then slow then full speed. thats all I can say now I can do most of the time jordan 99 to 100% percent just go to youtube.com and check for five star on expert song Jordan! peace Rock on dudes
You need to put it on your game as a custom song. go to youtube and type how to put a custom song on guitar hero 2, but first you have to find the song and learn how to put it on. or go to scorehero.com it tell you how to put song on there. just to want you thogh you need to download about 3-7 thing on your computer in order to put a coustom song on your game, but score hero tell you every thing you need to download there. oh yeah I forgot to tell you, you need to burn a copy of guitar hero2 for this to work. I hoped I halped you in any way
You have to play the game on Medium, Hard or Expert to earn the all needed money to buy what you need from the store, once you have bought these items for example if you buy new clothes for a charature you go to chracture select choose the one you want then choose the clothes you want them to wear.
There is a cheat code on pretty much all major cheat sites. The code unlocks EVERYTHING. The only down side is, saving is disabled. The whole point of the code is for u to play the game w/ friends.
1.) I beat hangar 18 on xpert, and all I can say is practice. also I played it like I was trying to strum all notes on jordan, so good luck buddy. 2.) "always green" cheat doesnt work. it's non-existant
PRACTICE
A2:
That song is piss easy! I got 100% 1st time I tried, iv'e beat freebird 100% aswell w/a ps2 controller
It's European,that's just about it. There may be some other things different I don't know for sure what they are but I do know that the PAL version is European.
I took me forever to get it but you simply just have to keep working with it and sooner or later its almost the same and medium. just try it in practice mode a few times so the slowest than slower than slow then try full speed it should get alittle bit easier
Work your way through medium doing 5 stars on everything, once you can do that, you should be good to move up to hard. also, try sliding your hand more, you needa get used to it, like from green-yellow to red-blue
As the cheat says put a rubber band round the green button because if even with the green button held down the game will only play the button pressed down
furthest to the right while you are holding down another button p.s from Blake.gill in cannock
If you have enough money, unlock Jordan by Buckethead and keep redoing it on medium-hard until you get it down. It is a fairly fun song to play and is arguably the hardest song on expert. Once you get hard mode down (about 75%) all the other songs seem much easier. And try putting your index finger on the red key and all other fingers respectively, it takes a few minutes to get it down. Your index finger has a much farther reach than your pinky finger so it'll be easier to hit the green with your index finger instead of hitting the orange with your pinky finger.
Ok, I had the same problem, but my skills went up as I tried to do all the medium-songs with 5 stars... and, after that, I lett everything sink in to my head, took a while off the game, and started to playing again, took the first songs on hard, and I beated them:) Take some time, and don't rush) The leap between medium and hard is 10 times longer then from easy to medium)
Keep playing on medium but move your hand position to the lower frets so your first finger is on the second button. If you haven't noticed theres a groove (bump) on the yellow button so you can know where you fingers are without looking. keep practicing and then you'll be able to hit al the buttons flawlessly
Well, hard mode is pretty hard because of the orange key but some people stretch out the finger, but I slide my finger up and down. It took about 3 days maybe less for me to get used to the orange key.the first time I saw the orange key I freaked out and said, "I SAW A RED KEY AT THE END OF THE THRET BAR!" Just don't panic like I did...
Scorpion is fake. If the cheat needs green fret, it is fake because greef fret is to select stuff and you won't be able to enter the rest of the cheat. -Answer by:BobDoleRulz
To use star power, you can either push select, or do what most people like to do: life you guitar up (so that the fret buttons are pointing to the sky)
Well I think I might be able to help you out. hit the green button or w/e to egt past the hit any button to continue part. then enter the code. do NOT strum the bar when entering the code.
Practice, practice, practice. It is very possible. I was at a friend's house and his six year old brother could beat Psychobilly Freakout on expert (He looked at it though). It's not a matter of age, but of skill and practice. I can do the opening of Monkey Wrench memorized...
Slow it down and practice try mother first its easy it only has a cople blue noats then when you can play it normal speed and pass go on to surender shout at the devil the eouncour then woman
Are you used to hitting the blue fret button? You'll get that a lot in Medium. And unlike what A2 said, I don't think hammer-ons and pull-offs are on medium. If there are, there are few, but I could be wrong.
Try your best to get star power. Use it when your in red. If that doesnt work do practice mode and go from,slowest to slow to fast and then fastest.Hope I helped! Keep on rockin!
Beast and the Harlot is actually much easier then you think. You need quick fingers thats all. I beat all songs on medium and still can only get 4 stars on Institutionalized and 5 stars on Freebird Psyobilly Freakout. Whats wrong with that picture?
Go to the "Change Guitar" menu and select the guitar you want. After you choose the guitar (by hitting green once), you will then have the option to scroll through all the available finishes for that guitar. Choose the one you want by hitting green again, and you're good to go.
It has to fit the right guitar and if it does once you choose the guitar that you bought the finish for you can either pick the one with the finish or you can just keep a regular guitar. -Answer by:LilSid
There is a Dragonforce song on GHII. its called "through the fire and flames". My friend found it on you tube, and it has to be legit I saw it with my own two eyes. I dont know how to unlock it though..
No there is no dragonforce songs on GH2 although I have seen this along with metallica and other various artists, but these tracks can only be played if you know what you are doing with computers and if you know how to moddify the game which if you know how this can be achieved you have to use dvd drivers and copiers and other thecnical things like that so I have been told.
There are nerds out there who have beat the game on expert so many times that its boring to them. they make their own programs to copy gh2 to their computer add their own songs to the program (after writing their own guitar tabs for it) then burn the game back to a dvd. the playstation thinks they just have a burned copy of the game (a mod chip will get passed that) and plays it, the only difference is the make up of all the songs are different. if you look at the begining of all these custom songs the names are all origional songs from the game. this is because the encoding on the song title is too deep to change and cant be done. ive heard it takes about 6 different programs up to about 12 hours a song untill you get good at it, and a whole lot of computer knowledge. not just anyone can do this. hope this answer helps you

It's a standard set by the NTSC, it's 30 fps (frames per second). It's comparable to the inferior PAL system, which is a lower frame rate and color depth.
