Why is Guitar Hero so much fun?
So, I was lucky enough to be given a copy of Guitar Hero for the Wii this weekend. After putting in a good solid 6 hours and getting most of the way through the newbie skill level (got up to the Devil Went Down to Georgia challenge and got pwned) I finally figured out why the game works as well as it does.
The thing is, despite having no actual resemblance to playing a Guitar, the game makes you feel like you are playing a guitar, and that, ultimately, is enough. the game is excellent, and has some great songs on it. Be sure and check out the store for extra songs, there’s some excellnet hidden gems in there. I got 5 stars on the Kaiser Chiefs song. 
If you’ve dimissed Guitar Hero for any reason, you might give it a try anyway, it’s a lot more fun than I expected. Now I have to get a second ‘guitar’ for it.
