Advantages: Can carry it around.

Disadvantages: Not as good as other guitar hero games. Hand hurts quickly.

I bought this game last month for £33 from Game. I enjoyed playing the other guitar hero games with the guitar control so I decided to by this game to try out. I find it great fun and it is good that I can take it anywhere with me.

In the box as well as the game there is the Guitar Hero guitar grip, skins for the grip, stickers, a pick stylus and adapter for the original Nintendo DS. The pick stylus is stored in the guitar grip.

The grip plugs in to the game pak slot. You need to make sure you don't lose the game slot cover when you remove it to use the grip.

I am left handed and so it is good that I could select lefty flip and play the left handed way. The guitar grip is symmetrical and so I could still hold it easily unlike the guitar controller for other consoles that is not symmetrical.

The game has 28 song different years that I like playing along to.

Like with all other guitar hero games there are four difficulty levels of the game which are easy, medium, hard and expert. The DS grip only has four buttons and so I find it easier to play the songs on harder levels than when using the guitar controller. I found it quite easy to get used to the grip.

You can play single player in career mode or quick play and there is also a multiplayer option.

After playing the game for a while I find that my wrist starts to hurt and so I have a break from the game. The grip is fastened around your hand with velcro but I found it kept slipping a bit. If you knock the grip out of the slot by mistake you have to turn the DS off and then back on again.

I find it fun to play and convenient that I can carry it around but I prefer playing the game on other consoles.

Summary: A fun game but the other games are better.
