Guess it's time for a bump.
Finally burned GHWT. Would've done it two days ago if I knew how to fix SS values. <.<
Illegal stuff aside, the game is awesome so far. Playing it on Expert, and while it's slightly harder than Rock Band, it's not anywhere near the difficulty of the crappy, overcharted GH3.
They also added two new elements to the guitar gameplay. One is strumming new notes during sustains, and the other is those tap notes. I play with the GH2 controller, where you tap the notes without strumming instead of using a touchpad. It's a bit like the solos in RB, but without solo buttons. Overall, the gameplay feels new and fresh, and Neversoft really did a good job this time around.
If there's one thing they messed up, though, it's the graphics. The animations are stiff and boring, pretty much everything with physics falls too slowly, the crowd is in 2D, and worst of all, the notes are in 2D. Again. Damn you, lazy bastards. <.<
