Advantages: You're playing classic songs very quickly

Disadvantages: Same songs for each level of expertise

I've always wanted to play guitar and gone so far as buying a guitar and having a few lessons. However, I wanted to be able to play real songs and my fingers just wouldn't do what the brain was telling them so it just fizzed out. My dreams of playing guitar still linger...so when I was given Guitar Hero as a Christmas present I was pretty excited.

Once I'd pieced together the guitar (easy) and loaded the game it was straightforward to actually get into some playing. I started off with some training just to get the gist of things and I'd definitely recommend that you try at least the basic lessons before you start for real.

Once you choose to start your career you can select a suitable skill level. Basic was a good start for me. You are straight into a rock classic with a very catchy rhythm which you'll struggle to get out your head for a few days! It really feels like you are playing and there are bonus points on offer for striking some classic guitar poses (much to the amusement of those watching you!!). As your band grows in popularity your offered various sponsorships and you play bigger arenas and even have guitar battle with numerous characters which are tough.

I managed to complete the basic level after about a week and will move onto the next level soon - I need a break from it as I found the need to concentrate on chords that are flying at you made me feel quite dizzy after an hour or so playing!

This is a great purchase for when guests are round as who doesn't want to be a guitar hero?

Summary: Buy it and rock
