Been playing this all evening. Can't praise it enough TBH. It's the best Guitar Hero to date, no question. The new guitar is great, with the upgrade to six keys really ramping up the difficulty level. The new Live mode is pretty cool, with the premise being that you're actually playing in front of a live audience. I like that everyone reacts to how your playing - play badly and the crowd boo, and your band mates give you the evils.

The song selection is massive. Okay, there's a lot of crap on there, and some absolute classics are missing (nothing from Queens of the Stone Age or Guns n Roses, for a start) but for £36.99 with two controllers it's phenomenal value. The selection is really broad, so everyone is bound to find a few dozen tracks they really like.

Oh, and the selecting the tracks you want to play thing? That's not a huge problem. Earning tokens doesn't seem difficult at all - I've got a load already after a few hours play. I can honestly say I don't object to GHTV at all given the huge selection of songs available without having to pay a penny extra. Prefer it to the old way TBH.

Hot

Hot! Thank you!

great price!! ordered.

time to take the 2 singles back to smyths for a £40 refund

Big thanks for this, picking it up tonight as delivery was £3.95 for me

Well I'd ordered this from Game, then changed to Amazon when they matched Game.

I've cancelled that now and I'm off to Argos later on to pick one up.

Thanks for finding this one OP

The PS4 shows up as 51.99 when you click through to the page?

Ordered. Heat OP.

I already own Guitar Hero Live - what's the difference between the two?

On my way to pick mine up now. I'm now glad Game's website was screwing up yesterday - £3 cheaper and available to collect locally, immediately. Great stuff

Looks like they've sorted it now and shows £36.99 for me.

Nice. Ordered!

Has this got Val Doonican on it ?

Anyone know what the 'bonus content' is??

Brilliant deal, thanks so much - added heat!

I saw on a different Argos thread that people hang on to the receipt incase the price drops elsewhere - is that because Argos will refund the difference or to take it back and buy elsewhere? I'm not sure I could be bothered for a couple of quid.

Very happy thanks :smile:

I have no idea who Opeth are, but I assume Val was the headliner.

Progressive death metal! :smile:

Reserved for collection later, another present sorted!

Apart from the second controller what does this include that the normal Guitar Hero Live doesn't include?

A GHTV £15.99 voucher

Does it still have the microtransactions (the 'plays')?

Collected one for the flat, many thanks! :stuck_out_tongue:

We're going to rock and roll all night, and part of every day. :laughing:

I think the 500 songs are via GHTV.

The songs play out across two music channels that group songs in to half hour themed programmes. If you want to select tracks yourself, you need to spend credits. Credits can be earned in-game, or bought for money. The idea is that you play along with the channels and then use credits when you want to practice a specific song. The game seems to give out credits pretty liberally to be honest. If you're content to play the channels most of the time, you'll have a decent stock of credits quite quickly.

There's also a Party Pass (SP?) sold for £3.99 for those times that you have people round and just want to play the songs you all like.

I guess the upshot of this system is that the track list is constantly growing, and there's no requirement to spend any extra money to play the new tracks. The old system got expensive quickly and was off-putting to all but the most dedicated fans.

I don't understand the 500 songs. Are these all available to play without coughing up more ?

You get £16 of in game credit in the box. Not loving the game so far.

Thanks op, been waiting some time for this to drop and get a 2nd guitar to jam with my fiancé. Heat

I think you mean 'party every day'
Put down the guitar and bow your head in shame

nice find op!

Bought this, thanks... Just what i was after on a sunday morning...!

Seen this on Very for £89 and nearly ordered it......pleased I didn't! Great stuff....cheers

Are the guitars wireless?

It's £1 more expensive at Amazon (with NUS Discount) and Prime delivery. Is it worth the hassle of Quidco to save an extra 8% using fastrack? Would be £34.04 after Quidco, saving £3.95.
What kind of stupid question is that, of course it is! This is HUKD. I'm an idiot.

Worst game of the series for me.
Sure, it's got the extra content via GHTV, but the fact you need to spend credits to play what you want, when you want, is a negative for me.
Played it for about 10 hours in total and it hasn't seen the light of day since.

Great pressie for xmas. Thanks

Yes, i will probably try selling mine closer to Christmas. The whole crowd thing staring at you and the new button layout aren't for me.

Pearl Jam fan by any chance? (I've heard that gag as on stage between song banter).

​200 plays you get with the code*

It would seem that I didn't receive an order confirmation. I paid using Fastrack, and was told I couldn't collect it due to not having a collection number. Pretty annoyed, as they have taken the money... But I can't seem to get the product! I knew I should have just got it from Amazon for a couple of quid more.

JUST got my confirmation email and text. Very strange.

thanks op. got the supreme party pack for extra £10. flip me its hard with 6 frets! i strugled with the guita of old with 4 frets and a slider!!!

I wrote a complaint email, and had a reply within approximately 15 minutes, for some reason it didn't go through on their system, but the Customer Services staff resent the email and text and it worked...

When I got to the shop to collect it, they couldn't find anything with that number, so they refunded and charged my card instore, therefore I lose the FASTRACK cashback, and it's only a quid cheaper at Argos...

​Did you reserve it over the weekend as some online payments were having issues due to something that was going on abroad. I've still not been charged for my 4DX Cineworld night out which wasn't the cheapest!! Fingers crossed it just vanishes but I suspect it'll charge me eventually lol :laughing:

I reserved it at 09:00ish, and it said it was ready to collect at 10:08...

anyone else having reliabilty issues with using 2 guitars at same time despite both being calibrated properly? i also have an external harddrive attached so thats all my usb ports used up. could the external hardrive be interfering??

​yeah i was properly seal etc. seal on the game. bagged guitars all in its place. it works fine on 1 player actually. the issue is when you try pkaying 2 guitars. think its because one receiver will be in the usb port at the rear and must disrupt the signal a bit. so im going to try a usb to female usb extender to bring the receiver to the front.

It's "Jimi" Hendrix ;-)

gone up now, still £40 in smyths or single pack £20 ps4/xbone or £17 last gen elsewhere
