Saving Your Overdrive

Hint by Dr_Perry_Cox on March 10, 2008  |  report this hint

Are you in the middle of a difficult song that you just can't seem to beat? Is there a rapid-fire section that you fail at over and over? If so, look to your Overdrive meter for help. Overdrive activiation will boost your multiplier and allow you to attain higher scores, but it will also bail you out if you're having a rough go at a song. If you're playing a difficult song that you can't get through, hit as many of the Overdrive sections as you can. These sections are the brief sections of highlighted notes, or white notes, on screen. Hit all of the white notes and your Overdrive meter will fill up. Once you start to struggle, allow yourself to get as low in the Red on the Rock Meter as possible without failing and then deploy your Overdrive. Timing is essential, so be sure to keep track of where you're at in the song.
