Never played them and I don't see the point, I have a real guitar and an imagination.

i have 8 guitars and an imagination too. shared your attitude for years until i finally got over myself and tried it. turns out it's less about pretending to play music and more about having fun with music (and not limiting itself to musicians).

it's also a good way to check out music that you might have overlooked for whatever reason. i find myself pleasantly surprised more often than disappointed when an unrecognized track comes up in a random set.

it's obviously no replacement for the real thing but most people can't crank their amps and jam whenever they want and these games make for a nice little practice tool as far as stamina, timing, and dexterity go. all depends on how you want to approach the product.

speaking of. i'm gonna go pretend drum now, and don't tell me the sweat i'll be breaking isn't real either hahaha

My little brother has every game from the guitar hero series, and I used to go over and play with him quite alot...
I used to be really good and could beat nearly every song on expert. Only a few that I couldnt beat like Buckethead - Jordan on GH2 and Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames on GH 3:



^Thats a bot like it says...no one could do that in reality I don't think ><


But yeah, its alot of fun really to play with friends or siblings or whatever, and can be a pretty decent challenge, even though its not the real thing. I've actually discovered a few artists here and there playing my way through the series as well. /shrug
