Wait, what is Expert+ for drums?

MalReynolds · 09-17-2009, 10:22 AM

Also, wtf is Band Hero.

Expert+ is for people who care more about technical difficulty than playing fun songs I think.

Actually, I guess it's that for some songs which are especially difficult when ACTUALLY played on drums, they add an additional chart and shift everything accordingly. People who have a skill level approximated to a typical Expert chart may not be able to handle the Expert+ chart, while they'd be able to still play on the less-than-technically-accurate Expert chart.

And Band Hero... not sure on that one. I looked it up and it appears to be a more family-friendly game or something. Less heavy, less rock, more mainstream. Compatible with current GH DLC, and gameplay is totally the same as GH5.

I really don't understand why they would flood the market with so many similar titles though.

I thought Band Hero was a joke when I heard about it, but I'm unable to find any good source of information.

expert+ just adds double bass. it's not expert because it requires optional equipment (an extra purchase). I guess they didn't want to make expert=hard and alienate players who weren't willing to make that extra purchase.

Band Hero is basically the same as GH5, except with the added feature that you can drop-in and drop-out in between the song at any time.

I've had Guitar Hero 5 for two days and I've 5*'d every song on expert. 6*'d about half of them and 8-9*'d a lot more. It's way easy of a game. First time I played the Peter Frampton song I missed 16 notes. The second time I fc'd it. This song is 13 minutes of BORING!!!

**argo15** · 09-21-2009, 12:09 PM

oh em gee GH Van Halen has Master Exploder

Haha I loved this song when I heard it.

**tha Guardians** · 09-21-2009, 07:13 PM

So does RB2 and Scorehero.
It's fun, but I can't do the RB2 version.

Left3Pr0 · 09-21-2009, 07:20 PM

Lol you fail then Guardians. I knew I lol'd at you for a reason when you said you were better then me.

**argo15** · 10-15-2009, 07:38 PM

got my free Van Halen today, don't buy this one, too easy cept for a few, and those are all like 60 second songs.

Left3Pr0 · 10-25-2009, 03:37 PM

Just 5*'d every song on Van Halen and Guitar Hero 5. I'm to good, lol. Gamertag for xbox live is LunaMajor05.

**tha Guardians** · 10-25-2009, 09:57 PM

I can still gold star it, I just can't FC it for some reason. I can FC Peace Sells though. Does that count for anything?
