This is the first Guitar Hero game I have ever played and I was a bit skeptical as to buying this one. Man am I glad I did! Please read on!

Graphics
With a game like this you dont need graphics. All you need to do is pay attention to which key(s) to press. The graphics arent bad anyways but dont expect a realistic crowd or band.

Sound
Well the sound is amazing. Over 70 songs to play and you can download new songs at the marketplace. Each song sounds fantastic and when you miss a key your song sounds like crap. You really feel like your making the music.

Value
The game is so addictive its unbelievable! It took me 45mins to get 100% on "Cherry Pie". And thats one of the easy songs to play!!!!!! You can jam with a friend in cooperative mode or challenge him head to head. You can also use the whammy bar to make the sounds your own.
There are a couple of difficulties to choose from. On easy you only have to play with 3 keys and on the hardest level you have to play with all 5 keys and press more than one key at once.

Multiplayer
This is the only area where this game really lacks. There is a co-op mode but not online. You can only play co-op with 2 controllers in the same room.

Overall
I have to say that is one of the very few MUST HAVE games on the 360. The game is a bit steep at $90 but the fun you get while playing is priceless.

Score
98/100

wow...this game is ALOT harder than I anticipated...alot of those songs I can play on regular guitar such as "The Trooper" from Iron Maiden...but when its on easy, I cant get 100%. For some reason I cant move my fingers over to the blue and orange, it screws me up. ANyways, Nice review...this is a must have for sure.

Damnit! Is it normal that the whammy bar gets loose after 4 hours of gameplay?

Lethal, you play more than one at a time on easy. Lol

I'm stuck on :Crazy on You" on hard. I've only beaten like 6 songs on expert. This game can get old, but just pick it back up after not playing for a couple weeks and its awesome all over again.
