Not quite what you expected?
Well it is from the xbox/playstation game guitar hero. Basically it is karaoke, but instead of a microphone, you have a small scale plastic guitar with 5 buttons on the neck, a small area to strum and a whammy bar.
Now yes, it doesn't compare to my Rickenbacker 4003, or my strat, but this is serious fun! Your asking why I bought it if I can just play the real thing.. I pondered that too for a long while, but the game is VERY addictive, and hard!
As I said earlier, it is like karaoke, you see on screen your band, you choose your guitar, amps etc etc, and at the bottom the notes come towards you and you play them on the guitar in your hands. You play along with REAL song, good songs too!
My favorites are surrender, strutter, killing in the name of, yyz, sweet child o' mine and You really got me.
You get a score at the end, very detailed, about where you went wrong etc, and you can compare scores with friends online, there is also multi player on the same screen!
So if you have kids that won't touch the real thing, or your my age and have nothing better to do, or even the aging rocker, I highly recommend this to anyone!
PS: Is this the first video game review?
