There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
i have a little trouble hitting the blue button with my pinky finger but otherwise, it is great. it will take a little getting used to but once you have the feel for it, you will "rock out". i am a classic rock kind of girl, so the songs are a bit foreign to me. there were a few that i love and are on my ipod, but for the most part, i really didn't know them. i would recommend this game. it is challenging and fun. it certainly will provide you with hours and hours of playing.
Now I personally have not played the game, and I thought how can I do a review if I haven't played it--- but why do I need to play it to tell you that 3 kids ages 11, 13 and 16 (now) have been playing it for two years. That says a lot. Not only is the game still working after that long but they are still playing it. They take it on the road when we travel to the city (1 hour away) and they play it at home just because. that alone would make me want to buy it. Well I hope this helped some, remember this is from mom's point of view.
Well, I'll admit, I'm not a die-hard fan of the Guitar Hero series or anything, but they are fun games to play for sure. This game, however, just doesn't seem to have that same feeling as the others. The songs, as they are stuffed on a DS cart I'm sure, are pretty horrible quality, and the game itself just seems a little hastily made.
There is also the fact that trying to play the game makes my wrist and arm feeling like they are being stabbed to death. It is not a comfortable game to play in any way at all. I'm not really sure how they could have designed it better, but the way it is now doesn't really work.
Stick to the big console versions of the game, and use your DS for the things it was designed for.
This little DS version is the perfect solution; I can pick it up & pop in the headphones, and play a little while on my own, whenever.
I received it only recently so have played it only about 8 hours but it's nearly as fun as the full-size version (at least for a novice like me).
However, unlike the full-size version, it's very hard to find a comfortable position in which to hold it. It's not a simple matter of wrist position, as the little booklet advises; instead, it's the fact that the console and its buttons are straight across, while your fingers are not. So if you have it comfortably set for your first 3 fingers, your pinkie's gonna miss those blue notes, and if you adjust for your pinkie, you'll soon find your hand or wrist cramping while your other fingers struggle to feel natural. And if you try to re-adjust mid-game, you risk dislodging the game from the DS slot (thereby stopping the game), because it's not a tight "snap" fit in the GBA slot.
Still, it's fun and for a novice like me will be challenging for some time to come. (The playlist has lots of songs that I like, such as Spiderwebs by No Doubt, This Love by Maroon 5, All Star by Smashmouth, etc....although in the first run-through of the first 3 levels, I actually did better on songs with which I was totally unfamiliar -- if you read music you'll probably experience the same thing.) Like the 'real' game, you can go back and Quickplay or Practice any song you've unlocked.
This is an ingenious little take on GH; I just hope the designers can go back to the drawing board and refine the GH device so that it fits the hand more naturally (and can be flipped for 'lefties'). If they can do that, it would eliminate the problem of the device slipping from the gameslot.
