I do understand the appeal though. If I owned the game I'd probably be guilty of this myself. I’m with you, I’ve said the same about Rock Band. I do understand the appeal though.

But I know many boys hanging in computer games. I can't hear when they discuss it. Playing the guitar or drum is much better, even if people haven't big talent and success, just like a hobby. For me going to the gym is also hobby. I didn’t try Wii Sports. But I know many boys hanging in computer games. I can’t hear when they discuss it.

I know cuz I tried and I don't!. I've never played guitar hero but I am sure it has to be a helluva lot easier than the real thing. It like comparing playing donkey kong to flying a helicopter, in terms if complexity and difficulty. Sort of. the thing about guitar playing, it’s can be very hard to learn if you don’t have any natural talent. I know cuz I tried and I don’t!.

The amount of skill required to play even the easiest Guitar Hero song on a real guitar would involve (at the very least) months of practice, and probably a decade or more to play "Through the Fire and Flames". He probably spent weeks to master the easiest, and months to master the most difficult. Instant gratification pervades our society on so many levels.
