Yeah, I tried the song and got through 47% of the song on my first attempt. Then I attempted it as a Power Challenge, and chose the Resurrection power (obviously!) and the Extender that gives you 10% SP for every 10-note phrase. Got the trophy on my first attempt with the Power Challenge.

And I presume that you can do the same with Punishment Due on hard bass, although I beat that easily enough without Powers.

Again someone voted it a "1"... I don't understand those people ô.O
1 is totally wrong. And 4... Well, if an GH / RB expirienced guy makes his own skills to everyones standard, 4 may be right, for me it was also a 3 or 4, but all together its at LEAST 6.

I hear ya, brother. Lots of idiots, that's all I can say. Few games are a true "1" in my opinion. 1 suggests that no effort is required at all to get the platinum. Even Terminator Salvation required effort - I rated that game a 3 because the controls are horrible, and that does affect the difficulty of the game. I bet even Hannah Montana isn't a 1, i.e. you'd have to sit through a shitload of Miley fricking Cyrus O__o

Nah. Hannah Montana is a 1. You can get the plat in three hours. No kidding.

But I just can't bring myself to defile my poor PS3 with a Hannah Montana title... it would bring a tear to my PS3's virtual eye.

Most of them aren't too difficult as long as you can manage to get a band together for the online ones (which I haven't been able to do yet). However, the instrument specific ones suck seeing as I only own the guitar.

just got my plat =] i rate this a 5..

2 for the Black Widow and Fury of the Storm trophies (i play expert gtr and drum so i have no problem on those, of cause the rate will be higher for the people are not too good on expert difficult)
2 for finding people to do the band trophies
and 1 for time consuming lol the story mode and 2000 stars was a big grind!!

When you play Terminator Salvation 2-player it may become a 2
But here... you have to beat Black Widow on Expert (Guitar), Fury of the Storm on Hard (Drums) and Holy Punishment... [...] on Expert (Bass) and this is something that need practice by people who are not kinda 'addicted' (or at least good) at music games... Well. at least the other seem to be quiet fair in voting the difficulty

I know I'll sound like a loser for saying it, but for 3 hours, Hannah Montana is pretty fun. It would get old in time (your character walks so slowly), but the concerts are generally a lame version of a rhythm game.

As for this game, I'm giving it a 7. There's nothing overly killer, like Green Day RB, and there's not the bevy of difficult trophies, like the hard GH games. "Black Widow" is hard, but I'll get it with practice, and you only need to pass it (I've never failed to at least pass a GH song). "Fury" is pretty hard, but overrated (and like I said, with 2 people, one on bass drum, it's a lot lot easier). I have to get the band trophies (I'm already having trouble connecting with people - give me a break), but otherwise, it's not terribly hard, but no cakewalk. This ranks slightly ahead of RB2, and well ahead of GH5 and BH.

Voted a 6, the only trophies that requires a minimum of skills is Chosen One, Hand Multiplier, Giant Slayer and Ultimate Answer none of them are too hard, all other are just time consuming or can by done other ppl online.
