[Game] Guitar Hero (DW, I'm looking at you)

[iamlachesis]

Perusing LJ-land today, I came across the following from Wil Wheaton's feed:
"Well, shit. I've gone and found another game that not only do I totally love, but gives me something else in common with one of my kids. Productivity is down 75,000 percent as a result.

Guitar Hero is the most fun I've ever had with a pretend guitar, and let me tell you something: I've spent a lot of time playing with pretend guitars, long before Journey make air instruments popular in the video for Separate Ways."

Guitar Hero

"Guitar Hero Controller Features -

* Five multi-colored fret buttons
* Responsive and durable strum bar
* Working whammy bar
* Stylized Start and Select buttons that look like volume knobs
* Tilt Sensors that tell when the guitar is pointed straight up (!!! how cool is that?)
* Adjustable strap"



Wil gives a complete synopsis here.
Holy crap, does this look cool.
And I cant even PLAY guitar.

Guitar Hero is possibly one of the coolest games I've ever played, despite the fact that I am only slightly less inept at it than I am at Dance Dance Revolution, which I am embarrassingly bad at. By all means, check it out.

Oh, and the reason the guitar has tilt sensors: when you build up enough of your Star Power meter (by hitting special star notes), you can activate a sequence of Hot Lixxx (bonus points, essentially) by tilting the guitar up. Yes, you rock out by rocking out. How sweet is that?

I cannot believe that you've never heard of Guitar Hero.

I totally beat it on Expert. Yes, including both Cowboys From Hell and Bark at the Moon. I rule.
