Don't dismiss it with too much PR. This game is the real deal. Go to a friend's house that has it and hog the the PS2.

I'm sure you've heard all the jazz about Guitar Hero. Everyone who plays it thinks it is an amazing game. But to people like me, it's a rhythm game that you don't look too retarted while playing. And it's a bloody good time. I've played this for hours on end. The whole day, passing the controller to my family and friends. The songs themselves are all masterpieces themselves, which certainly add to the game. At the start I only wanted to play the songs I knew. Blitzkreig Bop, Take me Out, Smoke on the Water, ect. But as you progress, you actually want to ventrue further and play some of the unknown bands songs. Find new favorites. At the time before I bought this, the only bands i cared for were Green Day and System of a Down. Now my mind is open to new things.

An Amazing collection all redone to neaten it up. Guitar was even rerecorded.

The Graphics are all over the top of the screen, although the player doesn't get many chances to apprciate it. They are almost cartoonish. The crowd sways and bounces on their feet.

A truly Immersive game that gets you moving while playing it. One of the first games that requires true skill. No cheapness to be had, all reflexes. So blame yourself if you mess up. In my opinion, the best rhythm game ever created and extremly addicting and fun.
