Advantages: Loads of fun playing a plastic guitar. You'll feel like your favourite band.

Disadvantages: Some of the songs on this game are fillers. World Tour with Drums & Mic is better

This is an absolutely brillaint video game. It's essentially an air guitar video game. Here's how it works.

You have a big great plastic guitar. It isn't quite full size but it is fine for adults. It doesn't feel to small to me. You select which song you want to play from the various different songs available on the game. The song then starts to play. While it is playing coloured notes which respond to the coloured buttons on the guitar, come down the screen. At a set point on the screen you hold down the specific coloured button and then you strum the strum bar in time with the music. Daft as it sounds you can really get into the songs & playing them is extremely good fun.

There are various difficulty levels. They easy one will let almost anyone play this game. Vary Hard is almost as tricky as playing a real guitar. Also, don't think that playing a real guitar will help. My best mate can play a real guitar but is rubbish at this. I can't play guitar but I'm not at all bad on this.

I will say that on the downside the game is only as goos as the songs which are on it. But this has at least 5 or 6 songs which I really like & has a good mix of both modern & classic rock music.

I would definetly recommend this game to people. Great for all the family (except maybe young children). Although you might want to look at Guitar Hero World Tour instead & get the drums to go with the guitar!

Summary: A really great game with has spawned an excellent franchise.
