I own Guitar Hero... it was an impulse buy from my local Best Buy store... I was walking through and saw the gutiar controller and immediately knew I had to have it. It is cheesy... but I think it's a cool little game. The second one is going to be a lot better... The first one was a rushed production... and it was more of a market feeler.. They weren't sure how well it would sell. First time you nail the solo in Bark at the Moon... you really feel like you accomplish something.. By and large though... it's frustrated to think that you can play Cowboys from Hell on real guitar but it's nearly impossible on a guitar controller with 5 buttons...
