I could care less what people say. Its a fun game. It just annoys me when non-musicians think that guitar hero is just like an actual guitar...

It was fun. but I stopped playing, when on expert and playing a simple song and they make it a lot more complicated than playing the actual version, it kinda stops being fun.

I like both GH and Rock Band. They are exactly what they were meant to be...Fun ways to pass some time.

I've played both a few times over my brother house. I thought it was a fun game, but we were just drinking and playing for the fun of it. Cool little pass time game.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. Every time I play it, I'll turn it off and everything starts undulating.

I do, I've said it before ans I'll say it again... It's a game.

Spend some time with family playing the game, I'll pull out my bas ans play along with the songs that I know. It's a blast.

I like it. I like the co-op mode where I can play bass and my "bandmate" can play guitar.

I've never played it. They have it rigged up with a projector and a PA in the student union bar though

As a game it's fun.

As an obession it's stupid.

As for people thinking they can play the actual instrument it's laughable.

As far as another thread discussing this it's tiring.

It's very un-fun.


Give me a game where I can shoot zombie Nazis in the face with a bazooka. Now that's fun.

I like it.

I played it a lot up through all of the games, up until Rockband came out. Then I got addicted to playing the drums on Rockband.

It's fun, and absolutely nothing to get worked over about.



This has to be the 34234th guitar hero on the forum. Let the issue die already.
