I have to admit people that there is something fun and challenging about playing Guitar Hero. After a couple months of owning XBox 360, I have played my fair share of Guitar Hero. I have rocked out to numerous songs, such as “One” by Metallica, “Cliffs of Dover” by Eric Johnson, and “Welcome to the Jungle” by G n’ R. The game is simple. You have the chance to pick among 60 different songs to play on varying levels of difficulty. You play with a guitar that, instead of strings, has color coded buttons down the neck of the guitar. Each button is a different color (from left to right: green, red, yellow, blue, orange). Now the game works like this, you pick a song and an animated guitar comes to the screen that quickly shows you which colors you have to hit while strumming the guitar.
As you play each song, you have the ability to use the whammy bar and use power ups, which you get throughout the song, to make your score higher and truly rock out. I know for “true” guitar enthusiasts this game might be lame and too unreal to get through, however, if you are a video game connoisseur, then you will enjoy this game. Between playing your favorite songs and excelling at it, this game can provide for countless hours of fun, while you constantly try to crush your old score. It is definitely a lot of fun to play one of your favorite songs, without having any real talent (like myself) and truly be a “Guitar Hero”.

Are you talking about Guitar Hero 1, 2, or 3?
I’ve only played this game twice and it got addicting quickly.
But, as a guitarist I got to admit all it made me want to to was learn those songs on a real guitar.
And I’m personally a bigger fan of Dance Dance Revolution, which is basically the same exact game minus the guitar.
I tried DDR once and I was quickly embarrassed.
Well I have never played Guitar Hero 1 or 2, only 3 but I imagine the game play is very similar.
Guitar Hero gave us only one great thing and that is the Guitar Hero episode of South Park.
Haha. That episode was classic with Stan getting addicted to Heroine Hero.
Greg what level do you play on Guitar Hero? I got slaughtered on Hard.
Dude I get slaughtered, on hard I barely got through “Slow Ride” butchering the song the whole time and every other song I tried, forget about it . . I lasted 15 seconds.
I like playing on medium. Hard is way to hard with the addition of the orange button and quickened pace.
lol yeah seriously, hard sucks.
And you know the only way to master Hard is to quit your job and dedicate an entire month to the game.
Ha! Either that or grow a 6th finger.
This game is awesome. i just got it for the wii. Plus I got a couple of cool faceplates. Check out amazon.com. They got some really cool stuff.
