Summary:
Are you kidding me? If you love rock/metal music and can't help but turn the kitchen broom into an air guitar everytime you sweep this is the addiction you've been looking for. I got this for my son last Christmas and we were blasting the house to Thunder Kiss 65 by 9 am. The controller (modeled after a Gibson SG - a la Angus Young) and is very simple to use. You begin in a basement bar setting with classic tracks like 'I love Rock n Roll' and 'Iron Man'. As you get better you unlock even more songs, venues, and extra goodies (guitar skins, song tracks, etc). So you think you're the next Joe Satriani? Kick up the level, increase the power chords, key combos, and take your best shot at rockin' the house. The more notes you hit in sequence boosts your rock meter. When it pegs out you can do a rock move with the controller and it blows your scores through the roof with a multiplier value. Get yourself 2 guitar controllers and you can duel. How wicked is that!? This game is a MUST HAVE for any closet head banger-wanna be-rock star. What're you still doing here? GO BUY IT!!

Strengths:
Great song selection, hours of fun perfecting your style and working your way up the charts and venues. Guitar Hero II (due out 7 Nov 06) allows you to choose from lead, rhythm, or bass guitarist modes and has even more awesome songs to play. Look out!

Weaknesses:
You can't play online (either I or II) which stinks. If Red Octane builds that in for Guitar Hero III you can kiss your life goodbye.

Summary:
If you're ecstatic at the prospect of playing a plastic guitar in front of a crowd of screaming CGI effects, you know who you are, and you won't be disappointed. If you find the idea completely stupid, you probably are just that. I acknowledge that I'm pretty indifferent to the idea, but I'm certainly not going to deny that it's an awful lot of fun to play. A lot of people scoff at the idea and point out that you can get a real guitar, but let's expand that argument. For the cost of a real guitar and an amp, you can also get an automatic rifle and become a real-life bounty hunter, or enlist (free!) and become a real-life soldier. However, your AK-47 doesn't actually make you into Master Chief or Joanna Dark any more than buying a Gibson Flying V lets you play for a stadium packed with cheering fans. For those of us with more plausible ambitions, Guitar Hero is a perfectly good halfway measure.
