Guitar Hero III ROCKS!!!
Got it for my son for Christmas (XBOX360). Excellent repertoire with some of the classics - Sunshine of Your Love, Mississippi Queen, et al.

Being able actually to PLAY the guitar, for real, is rather meaningless. Who knew?????

I can see this becoming very addictive ...

2. I crashed and burned the first couple of tunes I tried.
At which point I went off to drown my shame (I'm not accustomed to boos and jeers from the audience, dammit!)... but I'll try it again!

6. My daughter warned me to start easy
but I thought "oh, come on, how hard can it be? I can play guitar for real, this cant be that bad"

Then I got booed off the stage trying to play "Sedated" on hard level.

3. But it's satanic!!1!
http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B000TGB4V4/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?%5Fencoding=UTF8&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#R18CW4X0S42SX1

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TO PRAISE SATAN, THIS VIDEO GAME IS EXACTLY YOUR BEST CHOICE. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY teenager son, for this first look it is fun, but the most dificult the level is, the most satanic songs are and the graphics, you;ll see the devil killing people. Honestly, we felt bad, and strange things happened to us in two days. Game was returned. I had to click on the stars to rate it, but the rate is -0

4. Yeah, but they probably think that about rock music in general ...
Maybe they need a Praise Jayzus Guitar Worshipper version ...

14. I should wander over to the Christian and Homeschool* Book Store and ask for it
*LeftyKid's homeschooled. I wouldn't get his books there if they were the last store on earth. I don't know why they need separate Christian Math books unless pi=3.

11. They're probably worried about getting sued by artists
whats to stop someone from loading everything by Metallica and making levels out of them?
At least when they make them an "official" part of the game, the artists get royalty payments for it.

12. I said that very thing to my son
"Why would you want to PRETEND to play guitar when you CAN play the real thing?"

His response: "You'll see." (And so I did!) Apparently there's time to do both.

16. My GF's son just Guitar Hero for Wii, and I'm heading that way
tonight for dinner. I'm looking forward to giving it a shot--and I'll heed the warnings I've heard about being able to play ACTUAL guitar isn't much of a help! :headbang:
