Just played it for the first time tonight. So much better than Rock Band and Rock Band 2. Nice songs and good spread of difficulty levels. Have not been on the drums for so long but it was nice to blow off the cobwebs and get the blood flowing again. Very realistic experience i think.

So does anyone know if theres a left handers version of the guitars? Ive played GH many times, and can manage right handed through the easy levels, but struggle any higher than that because im retarded

Would be so much better if i could get a lefty version. Do they make one?

Turn the guitar upside down?

I'm not the biggest gamer, but what changes from right to left hand on the guitar?

As kato says turn the guitar upside down and in the option you can choose lefty flip. Works for me.

Well ladies, I played this at a mate's house yesterday (REXXXED) and what can i say? FREAKING AWESOME!! i shall be getting it ASAP!

like i said in earlier posts, i'm a drummer, and so it was always going to be interesting to see how easy/hard they had made the drums to play. I think people will need to do some serious calibration with video/audio in the Options menu, but after that it should be ok.

I didn't bother much with that while I was there, and the result was that even if you play the beat perfectly in time with the music, you may still miss the notes (happens constantly with the high hat).

I played Prisoner of Society on Expert and cleared it with about 75-80% average first time. Then tried Everlong and failed the first part with the high-hat+bass drum intro because of my hitting being 'out-of-time'. once i got into the grove of how early/late to hit the drums though, clearing Expert wasn't all that hard. It's a rock'n song. Having said all that, those two songs are at best a touch above average in the difficulty stakes compared to some of the other songs on there.

basically, if you're a genuine drummer in real-life, clearing 'Hard' should be fairly easy, provided you know the songs (in your head). 'Expert' may prove harder but not impossible...

PWRX online drum comps will be awesome, and a PWRX band too!
