BikBok Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 my daughters bd is coming up and she said she'd like a guitar hero event with her friends. She specified guitar hero II as her first choice but I'm planning on buying another one as well. I had a look on Trademe and then an online store. I noticed that the guitar fishpond is selling says that it is compatible with "PS2 Guitar Hero and PS2 Guitar Hero 2." http://www.fishpond.co.nz/Games/Guitar-Hero-Wireless-Guitar-Playstation-2/9328878008241 That got me thinking. Are there compatibility issues for guitars and the different versions of guitar hero. If I bought that one on fishpond would I not be able to play it with a later version of guitar hero? Would greatly appreciate any advice before I go out buying the guitars or games. There's a guitar on TM I was thinking of buying and then would get the one of Fishpond as well so they are two different colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Check the difference between the ps2 and ps3 versions at http://www.mightyape.co.nz - i think the ps2 uses an adapter for the wireless? Otherwise I believe the guitars work for all rock band titles and probably cross over to the other music titles as well. At the end of the day they're just the same as the handheld controller but shaped like a guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I couldn't find a guitar on mightyape.. just a bundle but not of guitar hero II. The other one I will get is III. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Oh, here you go, this says the rock band 2 guitars are compatible with rock band 3 but not the other way round which is another way of putting what fishpond said. So it doesn't matter what title you have as long as the instrument is for the oldest of the titles you're looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 thanks , that's rockband and those guitars don't seem to be compat with guitar hero according to: http://www.gamespot.com/features/6183555/guitar-compatibility-charts I'm looking at PS2 and it does seem that the guitars are compatible including the encore one on fishpond.

You can chose the guitars or the game to show it's compatibility on that page. It's quite well done. Seems guitar hero is pretty limited in it's compatibility but rock band will take pretty much anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
