Guitar Hero is lame
I’ve enjoyed playing Guitar Hero in the past. As a matter of fact, when Guitar Hero 1 first came out, I was the best of my friends at it, beating it on medium in short order. (None of us ever got very far on hard.) Since then, the novelty has pretty much worn off for me, although several of my friends still play it (and Rock Band) avidly.
I’ve read lots of comments by snobbish musicians about how these games are nothing like the real instruments, and how people should learn to play said real instruments instead of wasting time on a “stupid game.” I usually tell these people to piss off. We know it’s not like the real thing, just like DDR is nothing like real dancing, and BeatMania is nothing like real DJing. That’s not the point. It’s fun.
That said, I always have wanted to learn to play guitar (amongst other instruments).
So, finally someone’s come up with the happy solution:
It’s called Guitar Rising. Unfortunately, there’s no word on availability, but they’ll be at the Game Developer Conference.<!–break–>
