Well the other day a good friend of mine informed me of a Guitar Hero 2 competition being held at one of the local game/DVD/CD stores. Being the guitar hero fan that i am...as well as being poor i decided to enter, quite confident in my abilities to do well.
The competition was run in a way where each entrant was allowed to choose any two songs on any difficulty (except Free Bird because nobody wanted to be there all day) and the highest total score was declared the winner. A good way to run the comp because people playing on Expert would need to keep those combos going to beat the score of another player who perfected a song on Medium difficulty.
Playing on a different TV and using a guitar that was well worn (probably by 10 year olds mashing the buttons while playing it in the store) made things very interesting, and i definitely didn't keep my combos going as long as i would have liked. But my confidence was well based as i took out the competition by over 200,000 points, playing Beast and the Harlot and Killing in the Name both on Expert.
Since it was only a smallish competition the prizes weren't too extravagant, but i came away with 3 great games - Final Fantasy XII, Okami and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. Better than paying for them right??
Feel free to post some scores here and i'll respond with mine for the same song/difficulty for comparison.
Until Next time...
