Gh1/2 on PS3


Recommended Posts

I'm really enjoying Guitar Hero 3 on my PS3, but I'm just about completed it, and I'd like to play GH1 and 2, which I've never played.

I have a 60gb UK PS3, and I'm wondering if the backwards compatibility will let me play them?

So far, what I've found around the net is that:

- Guitar Hero 1 works fine, but only with the GH1/2 controller

- Guitar Hero 2 works fine except for hammer-ons and pull-offs, but only works with the GH1/2 controller

- Encore: Rock the 80s works the same as GH2

Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks :)

umm yes and no.....

the playstation itself will play the game if your PS has backwards compatability

but when it comes down to playing the games...the controller itself needs a "PS" button/"Home" button.

i have a adapter that i use that lets me use my old wireless guitar to play GH2

its a Pelican PS2 to PS3 adapter with GH switch.... i guess there kinda hard to find

anyways it contains a PS button so you can play the game, but none the less the controller if finicky for me, and i always have to jog the switch to get it to work(also tilt sensor doesnt work so to go into overdrive you need to press select all the time)

I'm fairly sure the GH3 guitar doesn't work on GH1/2 because Harmonix and Activision couldn't come to an agreement to share information on how the controllers work (or whatever, they didn't agree to something important to backwards compatibility :))

Basically wondering what I'd need to buy GH1/2/Rock the 80s on the PS3, if it's at all possible.
