Top Gear theme in Guitar Hero 2

Ripplin · October 13th, 2006, 05:59 PM

As you know, the theme to Top Gear is part of a song called "Jessica" by The Allman Brothers. They've used the original version and the more rockin' version that most people hear. You can now play the Top Gear theme on your PlayStation 2 (and XBox 360 at some point). Check it out:

Wow, I played Guitar Hero once and I was great until I got up to using 4 buttons. That looks incredibly hard.

MY GOD! That look like the hardest one of those games I have ever seen.

Hell, look at the movie of the guy playint "Ace Of Spades"!

I have on played DDR something and some Japanesse drum one, but that one looks so far and difficult, but very cool.

I do like it when they do something a bit different for games.

I've always thought Guitar Heroes sounded pretty.. Dumb. But after watching that video i might just understand what all the fuss is about =) That looks really cool. And incredibly hard.

As an absolute master of Guitar Hero, I can tell you that the trick is to just gradually step through the songs. Even on the hardest difficulty the early songs aren't terribly difficult if you've mastered the previous difficulty setting. I'm quite confident I could absolutely destroy "Jessica". (And I shall as soon as the game is released. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Maybe Hammond should do this as his first assignment back.

I'm sure I could put together a nice professional video in exchange for an "American Correspondent" credit. For a nominal surcharge I can even fake a decent RP. images/smilies/tongue.gif

deathrazor · October 14th, 2006, 05:18 PM

Yeah I have to agree that doesn't look hard at all, just incredibly fun.

Misirlou, on the other hand, will be killer.

Ether Richard or James. It would be worth wile to see if James can do it.

Everybody in here without a PS2 shoudl go and get Frets on Fire ( http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/uv/fretsonfire/ ), a freeware port for the PC...

STrRedWolf · October 15th, 2006, 05:00 PM

Windows and Linux too! All we need now is to port Jessica from GH2 to FoF.

Amanaman · October 15th, 2006, 06:00 PM

Can you insert your own tracks into this application? It looks interesting, though you would look like a right berk holding your keyboard like a guitar images/smilies/lol.gif

POWERRR!! · October 15th, 2006, 06:02 PM

The song is actually pretty easy to play on the (real) guitar. Anyone trying to learn how to play the instrument should learn how to read tabs (sheet music for dummies).

Jon · October 15th, 2006, 06:25 PM

Yeah i was gonna say, that is quite easy on guitar =\

Wintermute · October 16th, 2006, 11:28 PM

If you do port Jessica it to Frets on Fire, make sure there's an alternate set of notes, all with engine noises.

But yeah, when they added this track, it made me want this game even more. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Amanaman · October 17th, 2006, 09:08 AM

Someone should really make Jessica for Frets On Fire...I had a go with it and it is actually quite good but seems a bit complicated to make your own tracks.
