Well I only have Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii, with one guitar. I'll definitely want to pick this up for the songs from GH1, GH2, and Rock the 80's, which I only played on friends' PS2s. I kind of have to for "More Than a Feeling," "Carry On My Wayward Son," "Killer Queen," and "Freebird." I used to play "Freebird" over and over on GH2 to piss off my friends at parties. I think I've played the song more times in GH2 than I have in real life.

It's a shame they took out the Spinal Tap and Flock of Seagulls though.

I don't have drums or a mic yet, but I will some day, for the Beatles. So this disc will be ready for my band instruments.

But were those Xbox 360,ps3, wii owners come from?The ps2.Most people migrated to those other consoles already knowing of  the existance of the guitar hero games and some already had the previous games.I can understand something like Guitar Hero Metallica since it focuses on songs we have never seen.But what features can this  provide the  costumers for them to spend their hard working money in?Some songs they have already played?Packeged together?

Also the member that posted is not only him but he represents a percentage of people that already own previous installments.

I will wait for this fall next major installment,it is just a bit hard to see one´s favorite franchise go follow another direction.I was more interest in the guitar rather than the other instruments,that is why I never got a Rockband game since I read that the guitar parts are easier than in guitar hero.But I will try to have a more open minded.

Your missing the point of some of the newer products. Activion is re-releasing songs to sell to GH gamers who don't have them. There are new gamers to the series all the time. As some one like you who already have been gaming with GH since GH1 you have all the songs, but for someone like me I only got into the series since GH3 and I don't like most Mettalica songs. I do however like Songs from Rock the 80's.. So how am I as a Wii owner or 360(example not that I have one) suppose to play GH1 and 2? I can't. So why should I miss out on some of the better songs? should Activision exclude me because I don't want to have to buy a PS2 + 2 games and another new guitar controller that just works on PS2? that would be pretty crummy and short sighted.

As for DLC, I call on that BS again. As the comments form an upstream gamer most gamers do not connect their machines to the internet. Not even 360 can boast more than 50% of gamers connected. So how are these distant non internet gamers supposed to play? once again the comments of making them just DLC exclusive is shortsighted self oriented comments.

So remaking the good songs on disc is a good idea. Releasing band packs is a good idea, i'm never going to buy Metalic, nor does Activision expect me to. Metalic GH fans will buy Metalic much like Beatles RB player will buy the Beetles set.

Both companies are moving the series by branching out to expand the audience rather than just expecting to cater the same audience. It's smarter. You can be more mature than expecting them to focus all their resources just on a smaller audience. Let other people play to :)

Your arguments are getting thinner and thinner sir. The game obviously is there primarily for the crowd that never got to play those Guitar Heros in the first place on the PS2. Obviously those that already have the games and don't find the new instruments worthwhile are not the target audience.

Do you always bitch when a port is made to a new console, because people should have played the original? I see your collection itself shows you having Mario 64 for the DS and the N64, which basically shows this is merely you being a hypocrite.

I didn't quite understand this line, but if your trying to say I have the GH 1,2 and 80's then no that's not true. I did however play them and found GH 2 to have the best track list imo of any guitar hero, which is the main reason why i'm glad I can finally get some of those songs for my wii.

@ctk, give it a rest. I never had a PS2 and I never had a Guitar Hero before 3. I'll be getting this game. It's got some awesome songs, and the gameplay has never changed. I don't care if they make 20 Guitar Hero and Rock Bands a year. The discs are cheaper than the DLC, and there are tons of gamers who don't even have their consoles online, so DLC isn't an option for them. So the discs are a smarter business choice for the developer and for the consumer. And if they make 100 games a year, that gives me a bigger variety to choose from, and I might pick the best 1 or 2 per year. That is AWESOME.

So... should they stop making Mario games or Madden games because we've all played them before? The port of Okami sold better than the original. Now that there's a huge audience for Guitar Hero, and it has established itself as a huge successful franchise, and there are tons of people with the instruments, this game could sell really well.

Also, I have Super Mario Bros. on the NES, SNES, Game Boy Color, and Virtual Console. And I'll buy it 100 more times if I have to.

let us see there's 48 songs and they would be 200 points each meaning it would take 9600 points to get each song or 5 wii points cards a total of a 100$ so I would rather have this as a disc for 50$ then dlc

frist day buy for me

 I dont like the bolded songs, and  wow at the gh 3 songs, only 8?? and i dont like half of those. What about clifs of dover, pride and joy, reptilia, le grange, paint it black, paranoid, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (no Welcome to the jungle or sweet child o mine, that sucks). Same with gh2 songs, but there are like 20 songs so, its ok. I would prefer bulls of parade over killing in the name.

From gh1, i cant say because i miss that game, like encore 80s, all i can say its than im happy because im going to play bark at the moon, killer queen, more than a feeling, smoke on the water, cowboys from hell, no one knows, cough in a mosh, electric eye and nothing but a good time.

well, i'm going to cross my fingers and hope some store offers a cheap Guitar Hero smash hits bundle with guitar for the ps2 during the holidays.
