I was totally skeptical and figured it was for a bunch of loser kids in their basements who don't have enough talent to pick up a real guitar! And you know what, I was right, if you are a teenager playing this in your basement all night, you are a loser. But for us old guys over 25, we're already losers no matter what, so we can just enjoy it for what it is, nostalgia. I love how 80 percent of the music is from when I was in high school. And where rock band really kills Guitar Hero is with the microphone. It's just like singing along with your favorite songs in the car, plus the game tells you how much you suck (just like my wife). Except if you put it on Easy mode, then you can totally butcher the song, and you still get a high score! That's the best, just screaming into the mic and getting cheered for it. Luckily I don't own either of these games (they don't make them for old Xbox, thank God), or I don't think I would stop playing til six in tha mornin. No, I have to go to a friend's house to play, where his wife will kick me out if I overstay my welcome. I guess I will never be a Rock Star or a Guitar Hero, but it's fun to pretend sometimes. By the way, the South Park Guitar Queer-o episode was a classic. How does that show keep getting funnier after over 10 years?
