I've never really been interested in the franchise of Guitar Hero, thought it was cool just not my thing. I used to play the guitar actually so it's not that I don't like music just haven't been keeping up with the different bundles and things. I work at a Gamestation in England and was looking at our guitars that we got in pre-owned and I must say they look pretty cool and now I'd like to pick one up to try it. A couple of things though...

Firstly, which one should I get? I really like the track list for the new World Tour one but that's quite pricey as I'm not sure if I'll even enjoy it! I was maybe going to buy a pre-owned one if we get any more in, is Legends of Rock any good?

And also, I play guitar left handed, so would that be a problem? I know I can just turn it up side down but then surely the whammy bar will be at the top and thus not as reachable?

Just wanted to some general feedback on Guitar Hero too as well as my specific questions. Thanks.

I would get GH2. I really loved the songs on it and you can probably get it for really cheap now. As for the lefty question, I think you will just have to flip it, making the whammy bar harder to reach. Unless the newer guitar controllers allow you to move the whammy bar (but I don't think they do). It's really not that big of a deal, whammy really doesn't do much besides get you a few extra points.

GH3 is easier to play. Solo's are made easier on GH3, I went to play a song on GH2 after playing a bit on GH3 with a solo and hammering all those notes had to be done very, very precisely. Now, I don't suck at Guitar Hero but GH3 is easier to play, although harder in difficulty. Both songs had great sets, but I'd go for 3.

I have GH3 and GH2, and I like GH3 more. Even though the songs are a bit harder, you don't have to be as precise as GH2. I have beaten both on every difficulty and I think GH3 has better songs and replay value. As for lefty, yes you can flip it, but like u said the whammy bar will be above. I'd go for GH3

I really liked the songs in GH2, lots of metal and heavy stuff. Just go with the one that has the type of music you prefer.
