Load of crap, imo. The gamespot reviewer for GH: DS kept complaining about it, but after playing it a ton at my friends, I didn't even feel slight discomfort. I don't know what everyone is crying about.

You get a bonus song from beating the guitar duels and then there are probally bonus songs that haven't been unlocked yet.

I used to cramp up but learned to not have the strap on tightly so loosen it a lot and you'll be fine

It caused me great pain. No matter how i tried to hold it i just could not bear the discomfort, so i traded the game in. Its not ment for human use as far as i am concerned.

That's what I've heard
But I have it
And I play it on my old DS Phat
And I've only experienced it after two or three days of extended play
And that's normal for almost anything, especially a guitar hero game.

if you do what it says by taking breaks every 15 minutes you wouldn't have this problem. so just take a break every now and then

Yes. It comes with a little adapter thingy.

And my hand hurts if I hold it at any angle other than like if I were cradling a newborn baby. My arm would fall off if I played it like the kids in the commercial.

I don't actually have the game, but I saw what the guitar grip looked like and pretended I had one attached to my ds to see what it would feel like to actually play with it and I don't understand how your wrist can cramp at all! Maybe I need to actually own and play the game to know what it feels like.

I actually get bad hand cramps when playing, but I also use a keyboard to type all day. I play my 360 and Wii all the time, but the console controllers don't cramp my hand. Guitar Hero for the DS is the first video game to cause problems, but it might not be the same for everyone. If you don't experience pain in your hands due to other stress-related activities, then you'll probably be fine.

nah. its not the most comfortable position, but it defintely doesnt hurt.

the video review was stupid. they need to just stick with reviewing the game. it wasnt even remotely funny.

i think it deserves a 7.5

only complaint is that there needs to be more songs

Nope - No cramping.

After about 3 songs your hand just goes numb and you don't feel anything :)

(At least until about an hour after you quit)

/awesome game!
