You've heard about the game. You've seen the crazy "Guitar Grip" peripheral. You've wondered: "Can the DS really pull off a proper Guitar Hero?" Last night we sat down, strapped a DS to one hand, and held a special pick-shaped stylus in the other to answer that question for you ... and ourselves.

Surrounded by a gaggle of other gamers having their first go on the game, we heard shouts of "Rock on!" and "Star Power!," cementing in our minds that this was going to be an even more atypical Guitar Hero experience than we had imagined. Fortunately, it was a lot like the Guitar Hero experience we've grown to love over various console incarnations, too.

I played the 2nd one a bit, as my girlfriend's son recieved it for X-mas a year or so ago. I thought it was fun enough, but almost instantly felt guilty for not taking that time to practice my real guitar as well.

im so gonna get this when it comes out.

yarly, I can't wait for this game to come out. I've seen a lot of negativity but the fact is, it's still guitar hero, so the play style is the same and you either like it or you don't. Me likes :thumbup:

i'm wondering how the music will sound... the last game i played with OST's (pro street) had terrible sound quality

[JKKDARK]

Of coure, you will not get good sound from a handheld.

[Nequissime]

That's sorta why most music games suggest headphones or other external speakers. The music quality will be fine as long as you got yourself a good pair of headphones.
