in my opinion this game has way better songs then its sequal. it has classics like smoke on the water, iron man, and you got another thing coming. it has lots of old skool bands like black sabbath and the ramones. well gameplay is very interactive.besides the fact that the controll is shaped like a guitar you hold the fret button on the neck and strum when the note comes in contact with the little cross hair.it may be a bit difficult at first but youll get the hang of it. and if your a beginner it has a tutorial section that teaches you how to play. unfortuonatly the game, like most has cheats. you may be thinking wtf is wrong with you cheats are the best. and your right cheats can get you through the really hard parts of games and some are just plain fun to try, but a great game like this doesnt need cheats. the only cheats that dont mess around with gameplay is changing the croweds head but then again cheats are major spoilers
