its immense popularity seems to stem from the fact it allows anyone to pick up this plastic guitar looking peripheral and live out their rock and roll dreams that will never really happen, because those peeps that are really good playing guitar arent playing GH3,..they are out in the clubs every weekend waiting for the right moment to strike them real fame.
there really isnt any depth to this game. it copies basically the same premise as DDR, except with your fingers and not your feet. but since only your fingers get the workout, and not your total body with DDR, it makes GH3 look that much more shallow.
"oh..here comes the fast moving scrolling notes,.i better get my fingers ready to press and mash every button on sync so i can get a high score..whoop tee friggin..doooo!"
..."but wait,.this game is playing my fav song by black sabbath..ohhh baby..this game rawks my sawks..i have to get this game,.and the two games that came before it..and i also have to shell out some clams to get the nicest wireless guitar for this game."
idiots
if you really have a deep desire for music,.save up your money..take some guitar lessons and practice all you can, and get a good guitar and just start playing everywhere you can. cause if youre really good..someone will take notice..and once the right people take notice of your true skills,.then you will achieve real stardom.
and who knows..maybe someday youll be on the cover of the next guitar hero game.

That said, I really think Guitar Hero 3 could have done much better. They don't have the best songs, and it's exactly the same as the first couple games, except not even as silly-fun. "Star Power" isn't very cool anymore. The guitar noise just gets put into overdrive and the camera closes up on your player, instead of your player doing cool things like playing the guitar with their genitals and stuff.
Rock Band didn't even just one-up them, but like, fifty-upped them.

This is derailing the discussion a bit, but has anybody tried Rock Band? It's another alternative I was considering. Do you actually need to get four people together every time you play?

It's so freaking cool!
And no, you can play by yourself. It's just fun to have more people. But you have like a one-person career mode, too.
But yeah - it has better songs (in my opinion, anyway - one of them's a Bowie song!), more instruments (I love the drums), and it's more fun to watch. And they're going to have online downloadable content and battles and stuff, too. Nobody I know that's played Rock Band prefers Guitar Hero.

You're making me use Ctrl-Alt-Del strips to prove a point. I hope you're happy.

Also, I've not tried GH3 yet, and only tried a song or two on GH2, but the first game got everything spot on first time round, and there's only one song on the third game I'd even look at. And its Slipknot, so I'd understand why people would say Fuck That Noise.

And besides, who fucking cares? You're debating the merits of a fucking toy as opposed to playing a real instrument, and your argument is the same as every other pretentious guitar-toting twat who thinks they're better than someone just because they play the guitar, and not a video game. I don't think anyone is playing a video game and actually living out any sort of "rock and roll dreams". They're playing a video game because it happens to be an exceptionally fun, and addictive video game.

GH3 is fun, but 2 had a way better set list. GH sold out, so now there are a lot more original songs, but they're all the shitty generic bands from 2006 that suck recording industry cock. I'm not in much of a position to suggest any new songs that are both good and rock, but they could have done way better. With a subtitle of "Legends of Rock," I don't expect there to be such shit as Pearl Jam (as an encore, no less!) and generic crappiness like Disturbed, or that tool guitar player from Rage Against the Machine. On the plus side, though, hammer-ons and pull-offs are kinder.
And Chyld, if the only song you actually want to play is by Slipknot, you need to broaden your musical horizons to something beyond generic heavy nu-metal bands.
Re: Rock Band: I played the demo a bunch of times at BestBuy, it's fantastically amazing. The only problem is the incredible price tag on their cheap plastic electronics.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

And so I have, I first discovered music via generic heavy nu-metal bands. I'm comfortable knowing this, I've grown since then. And ~I'll finish my point when I'[m not a-phoning

I've played the game once or twice, and I can see how it's amusing for an hour or so, but have no idea why people are addicted to it. But I suppose I am one of those annoying pretentious types who would, given the time, rather play a game with gripping story and characters
I should point out that I'm not saying Guitar Hero is necessarily bad (though it may be), just that I lack the ability to appreciate it.
