A beginner review, hard, but isn't that half the fun?
Graphics: I have to be honest, it took me a while to even pay attention to what the graphics look like. You are staring at the middle of the screen when you play, I know Slash looks like Slash and Morello looks like Morello, It is the Wii so I didn't expect them to be phenomenal, but they are pretty good.
Gameplay: Easy to pick up and play, hard enough to take time to master. It is a very simple game to play, with no real learning curve. That being said, it is difficult enough to keep you playing.
Sound: I love the soundtrack, they have songs that stick in your head. Most of the songs I know, with a few of the exceptions, from the 42 or so that you have to play, I recognize about 35 of them. They are really fun songs. Anyone can complain about not having this or that, but be serious. Difficulty: Like I said before, I am a true beginner. I started my career on easy and laughed at it about 10 songs into it, and went to medium. It was more challenging, but I finished in about 4 days. I did play a fair amount on Saturday, but not excessive. I would not consider myself a good guitar hero either. I went to hard and have made it though about 10 songs, while beating Morello. Hard is hard, but if I can get though songs, it is about the level it should be. Through Fire and Flames??? that might be a joke by the game company, man! Difficulty is spot on. The names are accurate.
Online play: Doesn't this add so much to replay value. You can always find a match, it is awesome. I have not had too much trouble with it, only played maybe 20 matches online, but it works pretty seamless.
I give it a 9.5
