Why bother with a fake looking, piece of plastic with a lever instead of strings when you can just plug in a real guitar and play? Some things are so simple an idiot could figure it out, yet a panel of geniuses took this long to get a clue.

This could be a difference maker, kids might actually get into learning guitar which could also alter the direction of pop culture a little bit I think.
Only problem is to start thier own little garage bands they will need to put aside the facebook/iphone/texting gadget crap, lengthen thier attention spans a little bit, and actually hang out and do something together. This whole slave-to-our-gadget-phone-pad thing has to be getting lame eventually, doesn't it?

They already have a game like this. It's called Rocksmith. Welcome to 2011!! Although this game appears to have a few features Rocksmith doesn't have, it appears they will probably have the same format for a catalog......50 songs, 8 you like and the other 42 are from bands you never heard of.... Nor do you want to hear of.-Lou" I do not pay women for sex. I pay for them to leave after the sex ". -Wise words of Charlie Sheen

They should make a video game where you gotta poop a peep. It's like Pac man...only with ..ummm..poop."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

One thing I did like about Rock Band was you could use Jackson models. I set my toon up with a doubleneck KV and a Warrior.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Meh. You're talking about two different things really. What makes Rock Band/Guitar Hero fun is that you can get a bunch of people who've never laid hands on an instrument together, get hammered, and screw around. I think this and Rocksmith are cool games too, but I don't think it's so much a "revolution" as it is comparing apples to oranges. I don't think the audiences overlap as much as the devs seem to believe.

My simple point was that if you're going to make a game where the kid is supposed to follow fingerings on the "guitar" why not make it a real guitar and not some cheezy POS that only resembles one in shape? Think how many would be on their way to learning how to play if (as I said) they had done it this way from the beginning.In memory of Gary Wright 9/13/2012
