My girlfriend gave me Guitar Hero for Christmas.... all I can say is that it is awesome!! I love this thing, it is sooo cool.. The medium level is where I am at now, and it rocks. I just wish they had some songs from the likes of AC/DC, Ratt, Inxs, U2, Depeche Mode, Lenny Kravitz, etc... hopefully they will come out with more song discs.

What is it?

It's much like those Dance Dance Revolution games.. except instead of a dance pad or the regular controler you have a guitar controller.. the neck has 5 fret buttons and there is a strum bar where you would strum strings on a real guitar...

Basically you play it by holding down the appropriate color fret button based on what it is showing you on the screen as can be seen below.



While holding down the fret buttons you strum the strum bar (where a real guitar player would strum the strings) and if you do in sinc with the screen you make beautiful music... :buttrock:




It is waaaay cool! And easy to learn, I am done with the "easy" and "medium" levels and moving up to the "hard" level. There is also an "expert" level.. but I doubt I will be able to make it out of the "hard" level... as you have to use all 5 fret buttons, which involves moving your hand around, and that's TOUGH!


I first saw this at a store late December.. I picked it up and started playing Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll" It was so much fun.. epsecially since I don't know how to play a guitar, or any musical instrument for that matter.... I had to have it. Trish got it for me for Christmas.

If you ever wanted to play a guitar, but were too lazy to learn (like me) get this.. it will be one of the best games you can get for your PS2 and it's reasonably priced at $69 from most sources.

I love this game!!! Ive been trying to beat Fire It Up, but I guess digital Zakk Wylde is just as hard as the real thing! Im trying to make a custom controller, with a real guitar.

I thought Guitar Hero 2 had some better features, especially in the multiplayer modes, and the option to speed up/slow down a song or play only a section of it in the practice area is a really good idea.
Having said all that, I personally didn't find the song selection as good as in the first one, but that's probably down to personal taste.

I did consider getting this, but then again I have 5 guitars, and I can play whatever i want on them

Well that's the nice thing about this game. No previous experience required Nice idea about the 'guitar' controllers though as I love playing a song leaping off the couch or with the guitar behind my head - a little thing called showmanship

I have a couple of buddies that are really into this game, I've never played it though.
