Sousaphone Hero is actually more of a reality.

nope... these games are dumb though... I'll keep a beat to my favorite song with my hand... not with a 120 game, so I can hit colored buttons in synch with the TV..

these games will be a joke in 10 years

remember when people spent hundreds of dollars on a game, that played music, most of which they didn't like, and had them hit button on a guitar shaped controller in synch with the TV....

I'll admit that Guitar Hero is a stupid game series, but it's no more stupid than Dance Dance Revolution was, and I loved those games too. Anyway, I like the music. Guitar Hero inspired me to listen to David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Also, I stopped buying the games after Guitar Hero 2 because the track lists stopped appealing to me. Anyone who buys these games without regard as to whether or not they'll like the music is kind of a dope.

Yes they are awful games. GH and RB, like the Wii, are fun for a while. Then, they get old and you move on. Plus, the fact that Activision comes out with like 3 GH games a year, I won't support them anymore. It is also way too much money to download a lot of your favorite songs and too much money to buy the peripherals for the game. Activision also pissed me off when I bought GH4, my drums were broken, and they told me that I would have to pay to send it in and pay to get it back through UPS or USPS even though they made a defective product. Ridiculous.

You could say all games are fun for while then you move on though. Used to play GRAW and Rainbow Six a whole lot until I got Modern Warfare and moved on to that. Plus Activision isn't any different from Rock Band, it's just packaged differently sure you've got the main Guitar Hero, then 1-3 Guitar Hero: "x" band. Rock Band comes out with new downloads every week though, which are eventually released in stores as genre packs, sure it's a little better since it's a la carte with Rock Band, but if you downloaded every Rock Band track or bought every Guitar Hero in a year, you'd easily be spending more on Rock Band, not to mention Rock Band's released to main games this year Rock Band Beatles and the ultra gimmicky Lego Rock Band.

I've just decided to wait for them to go on sale, got Guitar Hero Aerosmith for $10 with a guitar this past spring.

Only to play Mario and Zelda I might get one.

I understand what you are saying but I am never going to buy GH again. I will buy Modern Warfare 5 when it comes out in 10 years. GameInformer had a good article about music games coming and going in fads and they made a lot of sense. There is already a decline in sales because they over saturated the market. Pretty soon, they will stop making those games as often or all together. Then, in a few years they re-emerge when technology steps up and delivers an amazing experience again. These games really don't step up or change gameplay so they are getting stale and old pretty quickly.

Everything comes back full circle. Like Trix cereal. It started out as those little balls, then they moved on to fruit shapes. Then a few years ago they come back with the balls but say it's a "new shape." Shady ass corporate America.

Let's not forget the sequels, Violin Hero: Vanessa Mae and Violin Hero: Bond.






What? I like a hot chick with a violin.

Bond were hot, I liked them. Never heard of Vanessa Mae though.
