Has Take Me Out, Woman, and Rock and Roll All Nite.

Free is free, I guess, but it's too bad that one of the three songs is one that I already have in RB.

Obviously 360, since PS3 only updates on Thursdays.

you have 3 choices. Pay once a year every year, best bet is to get a 12-Month card at Wal-Mart, Best Buy or something like that, cause you get an extra month free. Pay 3 times a year or pay every single month. The last 2 are complete rip-off's and you are better paying once a year.

.... My account expires this month. I need a new card.

I've always had Gold, so I forget, do you need Gold for demos or just Silver. I know you can buy stuff online with just Silver, but demos?

If you can...then it is free...sorta. :)

This particular demo is Gold exclusive. So it's sort of free, but not really.

You're getting ripped. I pay $29.99. Amazon is your friend.

(I also picked up my second year free way back when thanks to Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, which was all kinds of awesome.)

Anyone know if there is a problem with using KRAI or Rock Band microphones with this demo? I have tried three different mikes and nothing registers. Have tested said mikes with Rock Band And GH World Tour and they work fine with those games?

Plays fine. Not songs I'd have picked for the demo though...

Definitely a rental for me, to play the masters of some of the old greats (FREEBIRD!), but I wouldn't buy it unless it were in the bargain bin.

I wish they would've picked harder songs for the demo. I 5 starred all the songs sight reading them on my rock band drums. They were simple. Disappointing. Unlucky.

Definite rent because of Queen and Blue Oyster Cult and The Rolling Stones. Besides that not worth money. The gameplay and drum chart on the rock band drums are just awkward. I mean its not like there's Yeah Yeah Yeahs on it. If there were I'd definitely buy it.

This. Buy the cards when they go on sale. Amazon, Best Buy, and Target all had sales on the cards within the past 6 months for about that much. I'm sure they'll have 'em again.

Looks like they charted Woman's organ solo on the guitar.

That's a nice suprise.

EDIT: I wasn't being sarcastic. I was pleasantly suprised by the solo.

I should not be disappointed because I expect no better from the GH franchise but I still am, it hurts right in my heart a little to have the old songs I love from the first 2 GH games butchered.

Take Me Out's Guitar chart is Fail.
Woman was pretty fun though.
I'm still moderately excited. How could they mess up Free Bird and Killer Queen?
Still, TTFaF's chart will SUCK.

Just don't play Take Me Out on Guitar. I don't care if it's free, you'll want a refund after playing that crap.

I loved those songs. Rock And Roll All Night is the most repetitive song in the first 3 GH songs. It's just "I... Want to rock all night.... And Party every day" over and over over and over over and over over and over again.

Played the guitar (expert). Was disappointed. Will give it a chance on X drums but it's not looking good thus far. Although I did notice some minor aestheic improvements with the menus and stuff. That said, they were minor..

Why don't they include hyperspeed with the demos? Also they should have put one of their big guns in the demo. I was hoping for the Trooper personally but something big should have been there to help sell/make the DL worth it.

I just played all 3 on drums, it was fun. Woman was more fun than I exepected on drums. I did notice something regarding Rock n' Roll however, that is not the original 1975 master in there. it sounds more like the re-recording of it that was done last year by with Tommy Thayer replacing Ace and Eric Singer replacing Peter. Maybe I missed that in an announcement somewhere about that but the second it started it didn't sound right to me. I'm sure it's the re-do that was released in Japan.

Because then the people won't want to actually buy the game if the more notable songs are already in the demo.

That was fun for about 10 minutes.

Every time I play a newer GH game, I'm reminded that I hate those parts where you sustain a note and press others.

Downloaded it...played it...still Guitar Hero.

I won't rehash anything that hasn't already been said, but I will ask this: Is it just be or is the angle of the note highway awkward to anybody else? I guess I'm just too used to Rock Bands so I did have a little trouble following some of the songs.

I play RB and guitar hero rabidly, and I've never had a problem adjusting to the angle of the highway.
