 Highly addictive! June 29, 2008
I had never played Guitar Hero I or II but knew it was a very popular franchise. I finally got to try it at Christmas time and realized how hard it could be. My son got it for his birthday and has been playing it regularly ever since. The greatest strength about this game is the challenge. "Easy" level to me is challenging enough, but then you have "Medium", "Hard", and "Expert." My son is now playing on Medium. I think it has also given him more interest in playing his real guitar! A definite plus! I could definitely see this being a family favorite except.....
...the downside: Why did they have to make it so downright UGLY!?!? I have been an avid rock music fan since age 3 and continue to discover new indie rock bands each day. I am hacked off that this game is showing kids that "the scene" is what rock music is all about. The characters are nasty, the film clips decrepit, and then ultimately you battle the devil. And while it starts out with some rock classics (except Poison....yuck), it slowly goes downhill with cruddy music like Slipknot and other garbage tunes. I like the inclusion of Queens of the Stone Age, but good music is few and far between on this game. But like another reviewer said, you learn to forgive it and actually have fun playing it.
I like the idea of dedicating the game to a particular band (Aerosmith...not bad) and hopefully they will do more of this (rumored Metallica.....booooooo). But I also think it wouldn't hurt the series to clean up the act a bit and make this fun for everyone.
 Love it!!!! June 27, 2008
I bought this for my husband for Father's Day and it has been a big hit! I am no gaming expert and I look to other people's reviews before buying something like this and in my amateur opinion this game has been worth every penny! The sounds, picture and hardware with the game are all wonderful. If you like music and have been known to play air guitar on occasion, then buy this and enjoy.
Totally Rocks!!! June 22, 2008
I bought it for my hubby for fathers day. He LOVES it!!! You need to have some "feel" for rock music and the guitar, I have tried playing it several times and keep getting BOO'd, for now on I'll just watch my hubby play. My 8 year old son is learning it as well and loves it! I highly recommend it for all rock music/guitar lovers!
Great game! Fun for everyone! June 22, 2008
This has been a great game to add to our small collection of Wii games. It is something that is fun to play and fun to watch. My kids have a bunch of the songs memorized, and they beg to play it. It is a big timewaster, so it makes me crazy some days, but most video games are timewasters, I guess! Great game, great fun!!

Excellent game for the wii--can't wait for another guitar or the aerosmith bundle to play head to head with the kid
