I just have one question...Why?

User Rating: 6.5 | Guitar Hero PS2
Guitar Hero is an arcade style guitar platformer.

It takes plenty of time and practice to get the harder songs down pat. My only question is, why spend all this time on a plastic guitar flicking a little knob and pushing buttons?

If I'm going to put forth this kind of time and effort, why not just learn how to play the real guitar?

I can see how this appeals to some, it's just not my cup of tea.

The price tag is also steep simply because of the guitar controller. I'm a big fan of classic rock and was dissapointed that many of my favorite songs/bands weren't included. I mean c'mon, a came in which you play the electric guitar but there isn't a single Van Halen track to be found?

IMO it's an okay platformer with a unique concept that I'm just not all that crazy about.

I don't see what all the fuss is about.
