    Watch the video they have. Looks pretty decent, though I can see myself scratching the screen to shit on Hard/ Expert songs.

    I can't decide if I think it's kinda cool or totally stupid, but i'm leaning towards the latter.

    Price will be a huge factor on whether I would give this a chance or not. $50+ would make it a no buy for me.

    I'd expect it to be $40-50, honestly, with the regular price for games being $30 and all.

    I'll stick to the regular version, thanks. It's a cool idea/peripheral, but when the purpose of the game is to mimic playing a guitar, it fails.

    I'm predicting midi versions of the licensed songs. No lyrics means no objectionable lyrics.

    Remember hearing about this a long time back. Glad to finally see it with the attachment though. Plan to pick it up. Will most likely be the last Guitar Hero anything I get.

    Because they have said that 80% of the songs will be master tracks, I'm guessing no midi here. They're probably going for songs without objectionable lyrics because the DS is aimed at a younger audience.


    I'll be picking this up fo sho.

    Smartass comment not needed, you know what I meant. The regular version at least looks like and is held like a regular guitar. This is more like playing an accordion or something.
