Great game, a few concerns though! July 11, 2008

Ok, for starters my computer. I have almost the exact specification recommended by the publishers (2GB RAM, 3.0Ghz Core2Duo, 8800GT 512MB Graphics Card) so i was expecting a smooth ride.
The installer, certainly for me, was an interesting experience. The first time i ran it, it crashed my computer. The following times it just froze even before it had started copying files (in the "do you agree, etc" steps). So i literally had to do a blind install, clicked frantically through the buttons until it finally worked and installed. The installation was painfully slow. It took well over an hour, crippled my PC resource wise without even using any CPU power, so i wasn't impressed.
However, once i'd restarted to clear up my system a bit, it was fine. It loads up faster than the console versions and after turning off the crowd it worked great. The songs are of course the same as the console versions and the courses are the same too. So you can practice on your PC and then thrash out with your friends when you go round their houses - even taking your controller if you want. The graphics are top notch - sharper than on a TV and generally pretty solid. A tad of video lag here and there, but it's not bad enough to throw you off.
Online is a bit shabby to be honest, it connects fine, and the leaderboards are good, but for now there's nothing really there. There aren't many people looking for battles from what i've seen (whether it's a timing issue or just my computer i don't know) and as of YET there's no downloadable content - the main reason i got it for the PC.
You can of course download custom tracks, but i haven't tried that yet. It's a good option if you get bored of the tracks you've got, and there are plenty of free songs to use (ie not licensed artists).
Overall, it's guitar hero. It's fantastic, but the installer makes this 4 stars instead of 5 (i gave it 5 for gameplay though).
Such fun May 13, 2008

This game is quite marvelous. Of course some tracks on the soundtrack are awful, but that's unavoidable, and there'll always be something there for you. Even in one-player mode it can be great fun at a party (assuming your speakers are any good). It would have got five stars overall from me, but for the price. On the American Amazon, it's a mere $60 dollars, which is about thirty quid. I can appreciate that things are usually slightly more expensive over here, due to myriad factors, but really? an extra 50% on the price? Ridiculous. Otherwise, I heartily recommend it.
 Great Game. Runs Fine March 28, 2008

I'm running a high spec PC and sufferd some timing problems. I managed to get over this by turning the graphics down and turning the crowd off. After I did that the game runs perfectly overal it's a wopping 10/10
Great game no idea where the "lag" others are getting is February 28, 2008

My rig is a mid to high end gamming PC with a dual core 2.6 ghz amd and 4 gig of ram and a pretty decent x1950xtx gfx card, i suffer no lag whatsoever, the game plays well and sounds really good over the digital 5.1 surround, my only gripe is the game gets a little booring towards the end however the shop picks things up a little (trying to get enough cash to get all the outfits now)
Overall great fun, and when playing a co-op career so much fun it cant be legal surely, oh btw to the person who posted first im on XP and have had no blue screens or App hangs, try getting your HIGH end rig sorted a little better
