More like an ass hero

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

This was a total impulse buy. I came home on Friday, and was feeling really shitty. Lucretia asked what I wanted to do, and I just said, “I want Guitar Hero!” Off we went to Target, and I was a happy man.

I had never played the game in my life — but I’d seen some people play it at work just that day. It looked like fun, and I just couldn’t resist the idea of having a remote-controlled guitar to play for Wii. And boy, the game delivers some good times.

I’m almost through the “easy” level, but I can tell I have a long way to go before I can get through the “medium” level. When you add one more color it’s a world of difference.

The video above is from the first day. I still suck but when this was taken I REALLY sucked. But unlike Elite Beat Agents (which I love), it doesn’t get so difficult so quickly that you are forced to play the same song over and over again until you want to cry. And the game contains like 70 songs!

This game is super yummy!

I played this last year around Christmas time. I didn’t think I would like it, butI’d have to say it is pretty good. Easy to understand, keeps your attention, and you can trash talk your opponent while you play. What else is there?

Nice; I’ve played a few different versions, but have yet to buy the Wii version – I heard it didn’t have surround sound. But I think I’ll break down and buy it anyway.

No surround sound, no problem. The way I play the game, it’s better to de-emphasize the sound as much as possible.

Yeah; I tell people my version of guitar hero is just me playing the guitar, and Kara booing me when I hit the wrong notes.
