==== G U I T A R H E R O 2========

All right the game is OUT, Lets rock!
First off the games like $80 so you probably should find out you like it before you go out and blow your dough. Me personaly i got the game and an extra gutair and im lovin it. the game is basicly a button memory game like DDR (dance dance revolution) but on a guitar. i guess this is the more rocker/emo approach. This game is one of those love it or hate it sorta things and i really don't wanna hear anymore post about how the game is not worth $80 if it is WAIT till it goes down, mooch off your friend, buy it used, steal it just stop bickering about it. geez some of us have money.
anyway
i recomend that you try the game out first at one of those displays at like best buy or your local gaming store what have you.
okay now for those of you who have bought it already read below
