Don't you think you guys are a bit harsh on the game? Jeez, I mean as long as you keep it in moderation, the game is fun. I own Guitar Hero III and rock band. Neither game pull my focus from playing actual guitar in the least bit. I think it's just a fun game that many people like to play. At the same time, it could be the death of real instruments. (as in the 5 year olds on youtube playing expert when they could be playing real guitar) It disappoints me a bit, but I don't despise the game for it, and I still play it. It's still a bit of a creativity crusher for the new generations to come though.
