Sweet ass song selection. The game is, as expected a lot of fun. I've pretty much only played in Expert mode thus far and there are some crazy ass chord combinations... and I'm only on the third tier :P

But, I am a little disappointed in the lack of extra content; no bonus songs, only one bonus character, same selection of guitars as Guitar Hero II... and the cover of 18 and Life isn't very good. There are also lots of examples of the guitar sample suddenly cutting off rather than having a proper fade and the mix being a bit off (as frequently happens in Guitar Hero, less in II). Despite the repeated release date push-back, the game still feels rushed and thrown together :/

Though I'm quite happy with the song selection and game play, I'm quite disappointed to pay full game price for something that's been marketed as an add-on rather than a whole game... and not get the extra content the price would infer. If the game were cheaper, I'd be much more forgiving of its flaws, but as it is they bother me.
In Real Life ™, people who aim to maximize their potential for lethality are called "dangerous psychotics" and are typically avoided by everyone who isn't forced to endure their company until someone has the opportunity to put them away or else put them down. No one likes that guy. Don't play that guy.

"What I Like About You" on Expert ha been kicking my ass. I think the max I got on it last night was about 34%. I was out of the GH groove by that point, so that may have something to do with it; we'll see how I do tonight.

Awesome :)
I can't remember what songs I finished in the last tier of Expert, I think I did 2 of them, but I'm not sure.
Still wish there was some bonus content to the game.
