EDIT: also playable at some GameCrazy stores.

Videos:

The Metal - Tenacious D
Rock You Like A Hurricane - as made famous by Scorpions
Even Flow - Pearl Jam
Lay Down - Priestess
Hit Me With Your Best Shot - as made famous by Pat Benatar
other stuff - whammy calibration, practice, etc.

The charts look good, though The Metal looks like a bitch with those three-chord note changes there in the middle. The Priestess song sounds like a Wolfmother song.

and I hate to say it but the Bret Michaels code will be on at all times. I dunno what Neversoft was smoking when they designed the singer but damn.

laserbeam · Oct 13, 2007

they censored Rock you like a hurricane and its so obvious too the sudden silence where the lyrics should be

rollingstart · Oct 13, 2007

it has songs from Brawl??!?! does it have Go Go KK Rider????

darkressurection · Oct 13, 2007

The Metal is a surprisingly hard song but tons of fun. I wasn't sure how I felt about Neversoft taking over the franchise, but after the demo I would say this is the best GH yet.

Eggo · Oct 13, 2007

I had never heard of Priestess' Lay Down before this game, but I love it. Perfect song that looks like a lot of fun to play.

darkressurection · Oct 13, 2007

Oh and I know there are some others that may have worried about the timing window being too large. Don't sweat it it feels just right and I wasn't hitting stuff I shouldn't have been hitting.

So has anyone seen this at newstands yet? Or is it subscribers only so far.

TheGreatDave · Oct 13, 2007

This is an American magazine, right? I shouldn't be running to Tesco or anything?

Screw this demo disc crap.

When is OXM going onto Xbox Live Marketplace?

BobFromPikeCreek · Oct 13, 2007

Will this go on the marketplace?

CrunchinJelly · Oct 13, 2007

Great, so this means the demo won't be on Marketplace anytime soon.

I AM JOHN! · Oct 13, 2007

After watching the video for "The Metal" I can totally see why the put it in there...

...but they still picked one of the worst possible Tenacious D songs. Seriously, what the fuck?

sublime085 · Oct 13, 2007

The demo is due on Marketplace like three days before the game releases.

The demo is also on Tony Hawks Proving Ground that comes out on Tuesday

tiong_fi · Oct 13, 2007

Someone should just rip the demo from the disc and upload it somewhere so that people can download and burn it before it becomes available at live marketplace.

Burned demos seem to be working off normal CD-R's and DVD-R's.

JavaMava · Oct 13, 2007

I contemplate now
Trying my small corner store
I hope it is there

I recieved a GHIII demo set yesterday; I got the guitar (wired) and those five songs on a disk. I've never played a rythem/guitar game before, but my wife and I had a hoot making terrible music last night. The way the two guides to the tutorial kept cutting in on each other was pretty funny. (We both got booed off stage, big time.)

REALLY?

Never heard of such a thing..

Great King Bowser · Oct 13, 2007

If that burned demos thing is true, someone needs to get on that. They'd be a god among men foreveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer.

JonathanEx · Oct 13, 2007

Burned demos? Or is that just for cracked systems?

on 360's?

Bogus · Oct 13, 2007

I'm impressed that they used the studio recording of Even Flow from Ten instead of using a cover band. Or is Neversoft trying to stray away from covers in general for this iteration of Guitar Hero?

Everything looks smooth and polished. Well done to Neversoft, I hope this is a good indication of the final product's quality.

I especially like the new character designs. The singer is such a hilarious caricature, definitely gives off a Steven Tyler vibe considering how massive his mouth is.

Competition means they have to try harder to impress.

"The bitch is hungry" is missing in the song it just leads to that line and silence

Hopefully this is just for the demo (to keep it 'family friendly' but if it isn't, I'd say it's a really abd choice. Either don't censor it so abruptly, or don't choose that song (The Zoo would have been a fine alternative).

TheGreatDave · Oct 13, 2007

Don't tease me with a demo, GAF. I'll run out and buy some CD-Rs now if it was possible.

SleazyC · Oct 13, 2007

Need to run out and get this tomorrow.

FatalT · Oct 14, 2007

Anyone have any luck finding this?

Dina · Oct 14, 2007

Youtube down for me for some reason.

jett · Oct 14, 2007

Is it me or are the notes passying by way faster than in the previous games?

I was gonna ask...is there an option to change note speed this time? No cheat code?

It looks way too fast!

Stat Flow · Oct 14, 2007

They all look pretty easy to five star, the metal looks kind of tough.

Wario64 said:

Hyperspeed is in.

The notes/note chart do/does go faster, it's just that the actual notes are spread out when hyperspeed is on, so the notes are still hit at the same time. It just gives a better visual of the notes.

As a matter of fact, in GHIII there will be 5 hyperspeed levels. It was said that Hyperspeed 2 is about the same as GHII's hyperspeed and hyperspeed 5 is insane.

Skilotonn · Oct 14, 2007

I see Ninja Gaiden 2 is on the cover there as well - any new info or pics?

Xater · Oct 14, 2007

I would like to play the demo too but Id on't think it's really thaaat necessary. But this thread mad eme look up the songlist of GH and I saw that In flames are on it. Fuck yeah that will make me buy this game.

drizzle · Oct 14, 2007

about the Burned demos thing...

Last thing i knew is that the first OXM 360 disc (or was a kiosk demo disk? I really don't remember) contained like 3-4 demos, and had phisically no copy protection. You could just copy it anywhere and burn it and it would work

However, afaik, microsoft "fixed" that on the subsequent dashboard update.

Stabby McSter · Oct 14, 2007

wait

is it already out on stands?

if so, i'm going to the grocery RIGHT NOW bk;ldfmbadf.,bm

I checked a couple of places last nite and didn't find it. I think that most people that are getting this are subscribers.

Someone please prove me wrong.
