I don't get how on the leaderboard about 100 people have got around 150+ million points - anyone know if they've got all those points legitimately?

They may be the type of people who had the PS2 version and could perfect nearly every song on Expert. If they've 5*'d all the unlocked songs maybe they'd score that highly. I've not added up the possible scores so don't know if it's an achievable score or not.

For those who really enjoy the game and wish they had more songs, this looks highly promising.... Freetar Hero. It's for the PC and the Xbox 360 Guitar apparantly works perfectly on the PC. You can create your own songs based on your music files (though how much work it would be I'm not sure), and there's quite a large number of community songs that you can download (all made from real songs).

I'll be checking it out tonight when I get home, but it looks like it could be excellent

It's just a normal 360 controller under the hood so you'd expect that You get the drivers from Windows update for XP or Vista, dont think it'll work on 2k or below.

I can't take credit for it, was browsing the other side and found it there. Sometimes I wish I still had my account, the games forums over there are still quite active :/

Am I going to have to beat another of your scores now? I'll just go through it on Hard again and do it that way

Speaking of Hard, I nipped home at lunch and played through a section on hard (not sure which one it was, but it had Aerosmith as the encore), and for the first time, everything seemed to click. The notes didn't seem so fast, I could spot the hammer-on and pull-offs coming, and my fingers seemed to know where to be. I wasn't getting 5*'s on the songs (mainly as I was always saving my star power incase I ran into trouble), but things seemed much better. Hopefully it wasn't just a one-off as if felt great having long sections of quick notes and nailing pretty much every one using the hammer-ons and pull-offs. I still doubt whether I'll ever be good enough to do Expert properly, but just finishing Hard will be good enough for me

Of course, then i'll just practice enough to 100% it on hard

All current scores are set with the mighty power of a faulty flashy santa hat

Go for it, I love challenges, they always give me an extra reason to play something
