I agree they should have put Freebird, Through the Fire and Flames and Bark at the Moon on the demo so that the people who are only interested in playing those songs don't have to buy the full game! :|

Seriously, it's a demo. Did you ever play the GH3 demo? Did you really expect the amazing songs to be on it?

After mulling it over, there may be an upside after all. Its at least commendable that they bothered to rechart every song for accuracy. And its sort of neat how Lars was singing.

Oh, c'mon...you people aren't judging the whole game because of a demo which contains measly 3 songs, and not the best ones (but not the worse ones), are you?

Well, I do enjoy Take Me Out, the fun part of Woman was outside that solo from GH2, and I always liked R&RAN, just not a fan of the cover.

Looking forward for this game, can't wait to sing the songs I know. This can save part of the nostalgia factor, as the re-used GH:M Vocal engine can frustrate the shit outta me anytime.

I will say this.

After surveying the community on what they wanted on the demo having and then having 3 songs with no solo whatsoever? Pretty lame.

Regardless of having the game come out in 13 days they should have thrown SOMETHING in there akin to Seek and Destroy. Maybe Mother?

My thought is that a demo should be a representation of what you can expect in the retail version (which this does) and remove any doubts of not buying the game (which this does not do). I haven't decided on buying the game yet, and this certainly didn't put me over the top. There are songs in every game that are immediately dismissed after playing them once, or twice if you didn't sightread FC them. The 3 in this demo are exactly that. Take Me Out has the best chance of being played several more times.

The game looked and felt fun, and I enjoyed the new charts for these songs. I hope the other songs end up the same. Ultimately may still be a rent-only game for me unfortunately.

Although I agree that the song choices weren't exactly the best, but what did you honestly expect them to put in there? They choose three songs that most people would be able to recognize.

Judging an entire game because of 3 songs is just flat out stupid.

"Bawww I just happen to not like the 3 songs they chose for the demo so that must mean the game is the worst GH evar!"

Also on a side note, why does PS3 never get these? Whats the huge dilemma about releasing a DEMO to both consoles.

I'd guess the PS3 doesn't get demos because the free network infrastructure model of doing things can't handle the downloads?

Whatever. The demo is rather eh anyway. I'll probably wait a few months to get it. I wasn't going to get it right away anyway, so this just confirmed my choice.

I mean, the demo's okay. Maybe with more venues, the career, choosing characters, intros and cut scenes....

I need to redo the med drums in GHWT and GHM with the WT set anyway, and do so expert bass stuff, oh and getting GHM med vocals and easy bass filled out anyway, so SH will wait a few months. Most of the songs in it are only noteworthy because they were in earlier GH games, not because they're that fantastic.

So I played the demo. Blazed through these songs like they were nothing. Looked forward to the RaRaN and Woman solos. Not there. I had high expectations for this game. Looking forward to songs like the Trooper and such. I will hold judgment until I see more charts. But this demo makes me not want to buy it based on the guitar.

I was sort of hoping that the demo would make me go out and pre-order the game like Metallica's did. I guess I'll be waiting for videos and such of this game now.

Finally got to play the demo, and I was impressed despite what everyone here says.

Only have a problem with Woman's Guitar chart, everything else is good (yes, I played it on all instruments, except vocals, my voice sucks and my brother was sleeping, he'd grab that mic and shove it down my throat if he heard my singing)

As awesome as my WT Drums for GH and RB, which I finally got to play, they won't be as great as my real drums when my Midi cable comes in.
