when i first saw the game i thought someone who could play guitar (for real) wouldn’t find it very much fun. i figured it was for air guitar wannabe’s

i had the occasion to play guitar hero II at an office christmas party. i had a blast. like everyone who picks up that toy guitar/controller for the first time, i sucked at the game, but it only took a few tries at Strutter (“as made famous by KISS” <snirk>) and Woman (as made famous by Wolfmother <double snirk>) and i started getting the hang of it.

i can think of 3 improvements that would make the game better. license the real songs so they can lose the “as made famous by”. get rid of that raised line on the yellow button, you have a tendency to “lean” on those buttons and you will get a blister on your finger if you play for any length of time…

last, license (regardless of the cost) at LEAST the following songs:

smoke on the water (this one is a no brainer)

bang a gong

whole lotta love

it IS called guitar here after all…

i can think of 3 or 4 other things that would be great additions to the guitar hero franchise (frankly, i’d be suprised if they hadn’t thought of them already), but i’ll just wait for game company to contact me

the game is worth the price, you get a lot of game play for your dollar.
