Guitar Hero is the best rhythm game ever, and playing Eric Claptons solo in Crossroads feels insanely satisfying!

The rhythm games are indeed few, but when jamming on with your buddies around few games are as much fun.

Guitar Hero looks all right. The animations are simple and the characters look very cool and all have their own style. But you do not need a huge TV to enjoy this game, though a huge stereo might help!

The sounds are awesome. All the music has been replayed for this game. and surprisingly enough it sounds almost just like the original songs. It's very cool that if you miss a note the guitar is missing in the song, so you feel like actually playing those very hard solos.

Guitar Hero is insanely entertaining. When you first pick up the Gibson SG you feel so good, and when you truely accompish those rock & roll classics on medium and hard difficulty you feel like a true guitar hero. There are several songs for you to play where 30 of them are well known rock songs, and around 15 new songs composed by the Guitar Hero crew. These new songs are mostly crap, but the old classics are amazing. You have songs like Cream - Crossroads, Boston - More than a feeling, Motorhead - Ace of spades, The Donnas - Take it off, David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and many more. The real deal about Guitar Hero is how it feels, cuase this is real rock & roll. The guitar is a fine imitation of the Gibson SG with even a bend bar connected, and the most awesome thing is that the guitar feels when you move it vertically or in any other dramatic way! This helps you to make the croud go wild, cause that's quite important in Guitar Hero. If the croud thinks you're doing to bad, they'll throw you off the stage. This is basically what happens in Guitar Hero, and it very good entertainment. The single player career is very simple, but works well enough. But it's when playing two rockers at the same time that the game really shines even more. If you're a rocker, this is a must buy, even though it's very expensive. And even though you're not a rocker, try this game out, it's amazing!

The game rocks. Harmonix Music are real rockers, and you can see that when they turn the volume up to eleven! The music selection is awesome. The multiplayer is awesome. You can even play this rhythm game all alone and it's still great.

I would have liked some more classic rock songs, cause you get tired of played them over and over again.
