Guitar Hero is the greatest videogame for families. You connect the guitar controller to your playstation2 and start rocking. This game has taken over our family. Everyone is hooked! (via Bobby Kotick)

My friend Jason brought this over the other night, and we were immediately hooked. If you like classic rock, heavy metal, or alternative, the music alone almost justifies the price. My only problem was that I played so much my wrist got sore. The toy guitar controller is included with the game. (via Jason)

i want!!!

Guitar Hero may not be the same as actually playing a guitar, but it's amazingly fun. For starters, being actually able to play a guitar does not automatically ensure that you will be awesome at this game. It takes a second to pick up on, but once you get the hang of it (the difficulty settings range from using three buttons on Easy to all five on Hard/Expert, and the later incarnations of GH include practice modes) you move up in difficulty pretty quickly. The music selection is pretty good for fans of classic rock, and provides exposure to music similar to your own tastes (I started listening to Avenged Sevenfold thanks to GH2). The newer versions, 3 and the upcoming World Tour have the option to download extra songs, making them worth the price (not that expensive!)

nice game

LOVE THIS GAME! But it needs more songs.

Warning: If you still want to become a rock star, don't get this game. It will suck the very desire to play music for real out of your soul. It's evil. Blah blah blah. I, of course, am kidding. This is a good game. The game play is better in part two.

Omg. Half the music in this game I don't even really like, but I couldn't stop playing even when my eyes started to blur.

Future conversation with future grandkids:

Young children: Grandma, how did you get carpel tunnel?
Me: Guitar Hero, my sweeties. Endless, endless hours of Guitar Hero.
