Yes, you play this game with a "Real" (smaller) guitar, and it's great!

I've been wanting to try this game for quite a while but at the innitial price point it was quite impossible to justify a new Guitar Hero clone, but of course the game did not do very well on sales, so here you go. I got this game bundle, so it came with the six string guitar and I was quite impressed, it's a very well made, to the cheap side, but it's a fully functional guitar, yes you can hook it up to your amp, and yes, it works. Not that you ever going to trade your full size guitar for this one, but I thought it was a nice thing, I was impressed.

The game play for the guitar is quite as expected, you have the colored notes going up and depending on the mode you choose, there's no distinction on what string you use, it all works quite as the regular guitar hero guitar. It's quite tricky but when you get get used to the guitar it flows very well. I do play the regular guitar, so I guess I had a starting point for this and you can choose to use or not power chords, and those o take in consideration what string you use.

I also tried the vocal in this game with a mic that I already had, works just fine as a karaoke game. I only didn't try the drums, that really don;t look like fun to play and also I don't have them.

The career mode has a crazy but uninspiring story, that's just there to justify the progression of the game. It works, but really nothing special. Go thinking it's another guitar game, you're here for the music.

So you can justify to get this game for the game play, or if you're looking for a cheap guitar to play around, either way I don't regret my purchase and can see myself going back in the future.
