Posted by: from Wisconsin on 03/01/2010I got this game didn't work on my first gen PS2.Nothing won't load disc...got the newer slimline PS2 and it worked back in business...even other older games worked that i had worked so if you have an older PS2 be cautious and have your receipt handy.. newer slimline don't sweat at all. As for the game it was the ultimate Guitar Hero game Ive ever played and have them all..Must have for Van Halen fans!!! quite a delight.

Enjoyed the ease of ordering online

Posted by: from Dayton, Ohio on 02/18/2010Ordered a game as a Valentine's gift, ordering online was easy and the communication via emails was wonderful. It let me know what was happening with the order. The only part I now have a problem with is the game will not load in the playstation. We have other games that load but this game does not load and I would still like the game but one that loads and is playable.

Guitar Hero Van Halen The Best So Far
5
Posted by: from Lansing, MI on 10/17/2009I receved this free through the GH 5 offer, and if it's the same game that's being relesed in December then you will not be disapointed. The game play is great and lots of fun. Who didn't want to be Eddie VanHalen growing up. Now I know that there are ALOT of people upset about the whole Wolfgang, Sammy, Mike thing, but please get over it already. It's still classic VH with Eddie and Dave. It's just a fun game. Now if GH would make GH Motley Crue then I would truely be happy!!!!
