Dude. The future is here. I've been waiting for this to happen ever since the original guitar hero. This is exactly what these games were always meant to be. I cannot wait to buy it and start learning! Video games that teach you how to play actual, real musical instruments. GEEEENIUS!!!

So far it looks like PS3 move is more in the cards for me. I positively love the concept of what MS is doing with natal, or whatever they're calling it these days, but software sells hardware, and there's gotta be at least 3 killer titles before I drop the cash for that shiny plastic.

well done, well done!!

tease tease tease. This game is just a conspiracy by sony to torture their fanboys. I'm not convinced it actually exists.

Yeesssssss!!!!!!!!!!

@DrakeDatsun: whhaaaaaa??? Wow, I stand corrected! That's totally badass. Okay, I'm in.

@DrakeDatsun: Yeah, except you can't plug it into a guitar amp and play on your own with it. When that's possible, I'm in.

@drizzt_rocks: A few things: never been a HUGE racing fan, so yeah, I've been awaiting it, but not dying for it. And there is a big difference between "a few problems" as you say, and this title, which was revealed in 2006. And my major beef is that they keep promising dates and then pushing them back. That's just…

To me, this guitar feels just one step short of the ultimate goal: play it on a real guitar that you could plug into a real guitar amp. When they build a guitar that you can play rock band on, and then walk over to your guitar amp and plug in, and play guitar without the game going, THEN, they got my money. You know…

F this game. I'm not buying it just on principle now. Should've been out at least 2 years ago.

OOH, that IS interesting!! I would love to see some picture of what the results of that technique actually look like. Could be awesome, could look stupid. But my interest = piqued!

Don't vote for #1! He's already got a 5D, that jackass! This contest should be restricted to people who don't already have prosumer video DSLRs. BOOOOO!!

Oh word. Word. I completely agree with the sentiment here. I used to crack-the-hell-out over Simcity when I was a kid. I'd stay after school in the computer lab just to play it. (used to play SimAnt too; makes me sad to see you trash talking it. Driving the people out of the house, hunting the spider with your…

Yeah, there is pretty much zero possibility that apple would ever do that. I mean, there STILL isn't a gamepad setup available for the iPhone.

I wonder how much of this had to do with the Courier. The Microsoft game-changer that never was... I think these two guys knew it.

Nice!!

I kinda like 2006 better. Back before the economic meltdown a gundam's escort could afford pantyhose.

Nice writeup! Gives a pretty good impression of the flavor the game leaves in your mouth but without spoiling anything. I am so amped up for this game. Absolutely cannot wait to play it. Been watching the news updates on it for over a year and signed up for the presale months ago. Now it's just a matter of…
