Is Guitar Hero Addictive?

[Guest anna123]

as the title suggests, I am here to answer one question. Is guitar hero addictive. Even as I am typing this, my game is paused in the other room

[Guest brandt]

YES! its the most addictive game you will ever have in you're life. its like you wanna beat everything haha. i'm still playin guitar hero 3 on expert tryin to get through the fires and flames down haha.

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

omg yes! they make it addictive by giving you some songs you already love, and then a few you aren't too keen on but then playing them makes you like the song more. and then after you beat the game on medium you want to try hard, or at least unlock all your favorite songs on hard. and then you want to play your favorite songs over and over until you get 5-stars on them.

then after awhile you realize your arms are getting tired and you've got calluses on your fingers from all the fret button pushing.

guitar hero world tour on the Nintendo DS is a little easier since there's only 4 buttons..or at least that's how they lure you in. I about broke my screen trying to play "Breed".

and I'm still so mad that I can almost 5-star Sweet Child O Mine but I keep screwing up on ONE NOTE!

I never played Guitar Hero, I got my calluses playing String Bass - now I just play trumpet so I have a ring on my upper lip!

I'm so glad they don't have trumpet hero you'd make a real mess blowing into the controlers!

Love ya,

Sally

I played the drums on both guitar hero and rock band 1 and 2...and each time I play it, it makes me tear a bit the guitar's super fun tho!

[Guest Magan]

I want to play trumpet hero... that would just be awesome!

[Guest Kelly Ann]

I find the Guitar Hero Phenom mystifying...heck you can get a pretty nice rig for the cost of the game or less even...I was enthralled though over the holidays as most every store had one set up and...be ready here..there was ALWAYS somebody fooling with it (exclude me I can be crazy enough with the real thing...I have after all been called 'THE King/Queen of feedback'). It was really interesting to watch people wail with it though...I saw some faces made that would put G.E. Smith to shame...THAT really made me LOL. From my astute field observations, and having an advanced degree in 'people watching' I would put forth the premise that it is not only HIGHLY addictive but seems to perform some sort of intense auto-gratification...strangely enough a few I observed actually gathered a crowd of 'fans' that were watching in rapt attention to the moves the Master was making...they were ripping! So there may even be some new Tribal Cult evolving before our very eyes. I've actually pursued this further...asking if people play Guitar Hero...at work and out and about and there is a devotion to this game that I've never seen before. When people talk about it they seem to get a glazed over look in their eyes and start getting VERY animated with their hands and arms and bobbing around and such. One was doing Pete Townsend Windmills and jumping up in the air...as they described playing it to me. Strum und drang, Kelly Ann

I'm hoping for a Kazoo Hero.

[Sally]

I belive the Kazoo hero was Spike Jones!

Also a virtuoso performer on the brake drums, bed post, cow bell and starter's pistol.

Joel Gray's father was the one who did all of the gulps for those of you old enough to remember either Spike Jones or Joel Gray!

I think that Sigourney Weaver admitted to the fact that while one of her uncles was actor Fritz Weaver another was the legendary 'Doddles' Weaver - vocalist? for the Spike Jones band.

Love ya,

I wouldn't call Guitar Hero addictive, but it certainly has the most replay value of any game I've ever played. I've been playing Guitar Hero 3 pretty consistently (20+ minutes a day) since it came out. This is only rivaled by a few intense months of Halo 2 multiplayer addiction which would have gone much longer if it weren't for all the cheating hackers.

BTW, I beat Through The Fire And Flames on expert... once... I was sore for a few days. I haven't been able to since, but I try every once and a while.

I don't really listen to music. I don't have any CDs or digital music files, but I jam with guitar hero.

I really don't care that a real guitar is cheap. I don't want to really play the guitar. My fun comes from hitting buttons and getting points, and I don't fantasize about being on stage performing. If a were a real performer, I'd want to sing and dance without a cumbersome instrument.

Yes. I'm embarrassingly good at it. There was a time when I spent hours a day practicing, like it was my job or something.

[Guest Sashel Trace]

guitar hero is awesome, especially when you play for a long time and when you look away and try and focus on something for any length of time longer than two seconds and it starts to move up, fly, morph, and other fun stuff like that.

No, I swear I'm not on drugs XD

[Guest anna123]

I'm hoping for a Kazoo Hero.

Kazoo Hero? here you go

5 points to anyone who can correctly identify the song

[Guest Ritsu]

-Typing while the game is minimized-

Uh-oh, I think yes =D... GUITAR HERO III ROCKS! >_<

It's cool to "play" such cool music, and feeling like a rock star =3... but sometimes it gets pretty slow on PC -.-

BTW, Midori rlz =D

Well, it's really addicting, like Rock Band..

[Guest AshleeB]

I like it. i dont find it addictive though. but then again, as i type this, my sister is playing "jessica" by some band on it. stupid girl... playing the most annoying song EVER...

lol

[Guest NatalieRene]

I used to play it a lot until my left wrist starting hurting. I don't play it nearly as much any more, but it is still fun on occasion. Although I wish they would stop reselling the game engine over and over and just sell the music as add-ons to one of the games.

Thats a very interesting take on Enter Sandman.

[Guest Melanieshaman]

YES! as is rock band with a few friends.
