very addictive game series
Out of all of the GH games, 1 was the one that gave me alot of trouble. the note sensing on one is very bad (you have to hit it precisely exact otherwise the note misses).
seems they fixed it in gh2 though as its no longer present.
the game play in GH1 was kind of bad and lagy at times.
the track list plain sucked.
what sucked was not the song but how did the songs, most of them were covers played by other bands instead of the master copies or even just the actual song played by the band.
this made the game sound crappy for me as i own most of the songs in the GH series.
overall not much different from gh2/3 in most regards. I have noticed that on 3 the hard and expert modes have faster note areas then 1 and 2, which made the hard modes a little easier on 1 and 2.
overall ill give it a 7.5
