‘Guitar Hero II’ released for Xbox 360
After reading this article on Yahoo about ‘Guitar Hero II’, I couldn’t help but snicker a little especially after this:
In reality, all you’re doing is pressing a combination of buttons at just the right moment. But the fact that you’re standing up, wailing away on a toy guitar adds to the immersive quality.
And I thought to myself, the only thing better would be to actually sit and play a real guitar! Made of wood!
I am not an avid video game player. On the rare occasion I have been known to sit around a friend’s house on a saturday night playing video games, but most of the time it was just because we were to hung over to do anything else…
Ever played this?
I kinda agree. But if it weren’t for ‘Guitar Hero I or II’, I would’t have my B.C. Rich Warlock with double pickups and a Peavy Rage 158 amplifier. And if it weren’t for GH 1 or 2 I couldn’t have understood what I just typed. When I played that, I was inspired to pick up a guitar and play ‘Shout at the Devil’…of course, when I tried it sounded like crap because I had absolutaely no idea how to. Now I can play many songs. But still, you can’t beat the feel of a real guitar!
I understand where you are coming from… I have an open mind, so I definately would try this game, but I don’t think I’d spend tonnes of time playing it. Real guitar is too much fun. It’s great that it inspired you to play real guitar though.
