Anybody play Guitar Hero????

Postby Eskimo_Joe » Sat Jun 21, 2008 8:51 am

I am not a gamer at all, but one of my co-workers had a party a couple weeks ago and had just gotten a Wii with Guitar Hero III. I was skeptical like every guitar player would be, but once the music came on I wanted to try. I have to say, it was blast! Admittedly, it's not apples to apples with playing a real guitar, but is was pretty fun and does require some of the same basic timing and dexterity.

I've tried it. I actually found that being a real guitarist hampered my ability to play the game and use their fingerings ... especially when I really know how to play a lot of the songs that are on there. Kids who don't know the first thing about real guitar kicked my ass on the game. :evil:

Glad you had fun, though! :mrgreen:
Get in where you fit in.

Knowing how addictive games can be, I'd be afraid it would really mess me up for real playing.
