Guitar Hero-ed
January 31, 2007First and foremost...I want everybody to know that:
I was wrong...and my girlfriend was right.
Mark this day in your calendars.
I'll admit that I'm mildly addicted to a video game that I initially thought would be total crap.
My sister Kristin was right. Courtney was right. Courtney's sister Whitney was right.
Guitar Hero (and Guitar Hero II) are pretty cool games. It's no wonder that they were sold out of guitar controllers all over the country before Christmas.
If you haven't seen this game at Best Buy or any other electronic retailer...you're missing out. Basically...You "play" a guitar in beats along with dozens of heavy metal and iconic rock songs.
There are five buttons simulating frets on a guitar neck and the strumming button you have to hit in time with the notes.
It's a total two-handed game...you cannot play it with just a few fingers.
This presents a problem for the non-coordinated (like myself). It's not particularly easy.
Like I said..I was very skeptical of the game until I went with Courtney and her sister over to a friend's house and played the game. I pretty much decided it would be a fun game after hearing a few of my fave. songs of all time on the game.
Sure enough...Courtney went on a tear and had to get the game for herself. She bought both games and two guitars on Ebay....and has spent many hours over at my apt. (since I'm the one that has the Playstation 2) playing the game.
Like I said...she was right, I was wrong.
BUT...if there is any hope for society today, We'll be seeing Country Guitar Hero or Steel Guitar Hero by summer.
Sign me up for that one.
