I hated it for a while, thn I played it at the game store and was like, hey, this isn't so bad. Then my brother got it so I played it everynow and then here and at my friends house. The funny thing is, if you go to practice mode, and play Through the Fire and Flames on expert and try hitting all the notes, it makes for a good warm before you play guitar, and more interesting than jsut sitting there and doing exercises. I would never buy it, nor do I play it for more than 20 minutes, its when people waste too much time with it when they could have laerned the real thing that gets me.
