I've been gaming ever since the days of Atari. but wouldnt consider myself as a huge gamer. I usually dont care for games of this sort either. Im more into military shooters like Socom. Games like Guitar Hero seemed a little immature for my taste. With that being said, i decided to give this game a spin at my local best buy. OMG! it was actually really, really fun to play! Maybe it was my childhood fantasy rock out when i was listening to 80's Hair Bands and 90's punk rock. This game was cool enough i bought the bundle. I got it home and my girlfriend thought i was silly. And yes, maybe i am. But she joined in the fun and played some tunes too. I highly recommend this game for any body 10 yo and up.
However, i would say a few bad things about the game. The selection of music could be better. The kids lately are listening to MTV's TRL. And i saw only 1 or 2 songs on the list that ever made it on trl. So, adding a few songs from Fallout Boy, Panic! at the disco, Greenday, or Good Charlotte, etc.
I love the old school songs myself and there are quite a few in there. Some are big hits and great to play. but some are not quite as good as songs and could be replaced with bigger hits. Maybe more Hendrix, Lenny Kravits. Maybe some smooth out songs like, eric clapton, rush, the doors. Maybe Guitar Hero 2 will have some bigger hits. OR come out with downloadable updates with new songs.
Besides that, there are several good songs to jam to. and the difficultly levels get real challenging, real quick. So, it will take you a little while to be good at it. Who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to buy a real guitar...ok, maybe not.
See ya!
