Plenty of gamers have completed incredible flawless runs of songs, but this takes it to the next level.
Gamer and streamer Acai28has shared that they’ve completed a “Permadeath” run ofGuitar Hero 2, successfully nailing every single note of every song available, for a total of 74 tunes completed in the game. This is believed to be aGuitar Heroworld’s first, making the accomplishment all the more impressive. Acai played the original game on Xbox 360, which is notorious for demanding accuracy of its players. The game was modded to add Permadeath Mode, which considers any note missed a total loss and actually deletes the save, forcing players to completely start over. The only other modification made to the title was to remove the strum limit to perfect the notorious Trogdor.
