Got my copy today. The vocals look MUCH better than they did in World Tour.

What unlockable stuff did they keep for the game?

Got my PS2 copy. I haven't tried vocals yet, but I'm glad they touched up the drums (at least on RB drums) so when I activate star power I can actually see what the hell I'm doing. Making the purple kick-drum bars more detailed has helped me a lot, the WT "big purple gems" was annoying.

I haven't got the rocks (or the 2 pedals) to try expert+ yet...

And I think there are more frequent star power phrases, but I haven't tested that out. I got a feeling in GHWT that they just set it to once every x number of measures or phrases was a star power phrase, and they actually looked for places to put them in GHM.

The guitar plays great. Natch...

I think this applies to all versions, but allowing all songs in quickplay out of the box was a great move. I bought this game to play creeping death, so thanks for not making me look up a cheat code to do it.
(I still have friends who don't know how to unlock Suck My Kiss on GH3)

In all honesty, the game is superb, but to save time and energy, they should focus less on the Cutom Character making and more on the vocals. I'm more than happy to use Clive Winston or Izzy Sparks. I'm very happy on the lag setup, where it does both the Audio lag and the Video lag at once. GH3 is hard to get just right on my TV at the moment, but this setup has allowed me to get 2 FCs. Also, I just wish that the Master of Puppets on the game was the orchestral version. That would have made that so much more awesome.
Overall, so far, it's a high B+, maybe an A-. I need to play more.

EDIT: Does it seem like every new GH or RB that comes out features Ace of Spades? This is the third time between the two games the song is featured, 2nd time for Guitar Hero. It's just a little strange. And yes, I know about GH Smash Hits.

I've got my copy 2 days after it came out.

I liked it, but I think that they're pushing the PS2 too hard
I dunno' lol, but the vocal system got an HUGE improvement since WT, it's nice, but the lyrics are so damn small that I have to zoom the TV to read.

Also, I noticed that the game doesn't run smooth as GH1, GH2 or GH3/A. It seems like it doesn't run at 60FPS.

But it's awesome!
