Everything has been dubbed over, but it is quite informative.

Cool never seen this video, very interesting. I like that they take you back to look at all the other games, man Rock Band looks so much nicer when it is put back to back with shots of the first Guitar Hero.

Sweet video i got to see some of HMX earliest works , but why did the guy say it was "EA's New Game" isn't Harmonix ?

EA is the distributor, they're bringing it to the light of the public and to stores near you! HMX are just the genius minds behind making it :)

It sure is at first. I remember I got it with my network adapter in 2002 or 3 I forget. But I would play until I had school and play till like midnight after school online with people. It was SOOO Amazing.

I'm assuming that they said the last day in November, since it's pretty much widely accepted that it will release in November. Still speculation i guess..

Great video, I never even heard of the first two Harmonix games, heard about Karaoke revolution but since I can't sing for Sh...t!! did make much sense to get it.

Again nice video, good piece of info.

It was a good video.

I never owned a PS2 in my life. I was more of a Nintendo Fanboy back in the day. I remember going over to a buddy's house and playing Frequency. It made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Hah. He was right into it and thought it was the best game. I just smiled and nodded.

About a year ago, I went over to the same buddys house and played a new game. This one was called Guitar Hero. I played this game on easy (I think the first song was 'Take me Out') and it was probably one of the most enjoyable experiences playing a video game to that date.

After that day, I became a Harmonix fan. I heard about GH2 being released for the 360, so I bought a 360 in March and pre-ordered the game.

I never played a Harmonix game before unti GH2.

I thought the idea of Guitar Hero was pretty stupid at first (don't flame me, please :D ) But when Guitar Hero 2 came out, i went over to a friends house, and he had it. He told me, just play it. I said ok sure, and i played Shout at the Devil on Medium. After that, i was like let me try again. And i played Message in a Bottle on Medium. It was so fun, so i bought it the following January. I have played Guitar Hero and still do non stop. I went to another friends house and he had Guitar Hero 1, so i tried playing it, and i beat almost every song, until i got to Bark at the Moon :| Since it was my first time playing Guitar Hero 1, i didn't know the note chart :D but i nailed it after that :D
