I figured I would give this game another honest try, but all I got was another honest dissapointment.

I really thought that even though I couldn't stand the first guitar hero, I would take everyone elses word and try out the second guitar hero. Here is my main issue: A friend of mine who had NO INTEREST in Hip Hop, but Loved Rock music, picked up my copy of Def Jam Icon, and had a fun time with the game and the music. He had fun with the game regardless of his music tastes. Now, I pick up Guitar Hero 2 (and guitar hero 1) , and I have NO INTEREST in Rock music, but love Hip Hop music. So I pick up the game, and Im not able to enjoy the game at all. Not because of the music, but because the gameplay is bad!!

Now what is my point? My point is that everyone acts like guitar hero is such a great game just because its about Rock music, but they don't realize that the gamplay sucks! The game is not fun. It's basicallly a way to listen to bad music not being played as well. Now the fact that my friend can have fun with a music based game like Def Jam Icon and not have any interest in the music shows that just because the Majority population enjoys a particular type of music, doesn't mean a game based on that music will be good, THE GAMEPLAY HAS TO ACTUALLY BE GOOD!

So just because I don't want to "RoCk OuT lOuD!" doesn't mean I dont want to play a good game, it just means that people need to realize that not everyone likes rock music, so something else needs to be there.
