Great Intro Game!

This was a really solid introduction into the Guitar Hero franchise! I still play it, just like i still play GH:2 lol. I love getting to play Megadeth and Ozzy and Pantera! This game had it all, and still should appeal to any Guitar Hero fan! What are you waiting for? Go Play It!

Who knew that playing with a plastic guitar controller would be so much damn fun?

Before there was Guitar Hero, the music game genre was just a small niche in a massive sea of video games. This game changed everything practially overnight. It's a simple concept really, just add A.) a cute plastic Gibson SG controller B.) a kick ass soundtrack and C.) a moving onscreen fret board with colored notes that you have to hit on the controller and use the strum bar at the same time. While it's nothing like playing a real guitar, it doesn't matter cause it's damn good fun. The soundtrack is my favorite part of the whole game, and even though they're mostly all covers, for the most part they are well done. Megadeth, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath... this game is stacked with awesome hits. The only downside is that the song list is fairly short compaired to later installments. If you don't have this game then shame you.
