 - Not Guitar Hero, but Okay NonethelessI got this game because I didn't want to spend the money to buy Guitar Hero when I'd never played it before...that's a lot of money! A friend recommended this and I decided we'd try it. The minute I put it in the Wii, I was extremely disappointed. It didn't seem fun at all! I put it away after only a few moments and promptly forgot about it. My seven year old son, however, begged me to play it the next day, and I said yes. As I watched him hitting the notes, my competitive edge got the better of me, and I grabbed a wiimote and went at it with him. He chose a song when I wasn't looking, and I was shocked to hear the chords of one of my favorites, Feel Good Inc. come over the speakers! He got ahead of me and suddenly I was listening to it from a mariachi band...not a good mix. The fun of this game is for the competitive people as well as for those who love to hear their music a number of different ways. Unlike other games, this one takes the song and twists it into ways you've never imagined. Want to hear Feel Good, Inc. as a country song? No problem! Prefer to listen to That's The Way I Like It through the unique stylings of an undead mariachi band? Sure! ("that's the way, uh huh uh huh, mi gusta, uh huh uh huh") Is this a game we'll be playing for months? Probably not. But it is a great way to get a seven year old, a four year old, and two adults playing together. One of the best parts about the game is that I can set my level to hard while going against my 4 year old, who is set on easy, giving her a fair shot at kicking my behind (which then finds me nursing my wounded ego, let me tell you...)
