it would be easier if they just made an actual guitar, instead of an on-screen one. over all pretty neat, i would suggest the air guitar for the buckle, tahn this, but yeah if they make a guitar for it let me know, overall sounds difficult

I'm a bit on a die hard Nintendo fan, in other words I have only gotten Nintendo platforms when I have the money for it. But I have also played guitar hero at friends' houses and I loved the game to the point of almost buying a PS2 instead of my DS Lite. The morning before finding out about this I was thining about how they could make GH for DS then I was on Gamestop and saw it.

Looks pretty cool, I'm a little bummed that there isn't 5 fret keys though, that kinda of takes away from the GH feel but I'm sure they'll make it harder somewhere else.

Add this to the one-handed Xbox360 controller someone was trying to build, and you might have something that actually works.

@ViewtifulJason: Agreed. With a controller that's not shaped like a guitar, you're going to lose out on some of the fun. I like Rock Band and Guitar Hero because you can turn up the volume and rock out. The DS can get kind of loud, but NOT loud enough to seriously jam.

Just....no. The thrill of Guitar Hero and Rock Band was to have things shaped like guitar to wail on. This doesn't work. Stop milking the Guitar Hero franchise and move on.

Oh hell what am I saying, the naive will pick this shit up real quick fast anyway with their brand ignorances.

Oy vey.

My only concerns are DS phat compatibility, difficulty and track lists. I bet they'll find some way of making it harder to make up for the lack of orange button.

Jam Sessions, anyone? It probably will be better than that game though. Yet, it most likely will feel uncomfortable with fat DS's, such as my DS. So, I'll wait and see if this gets good reviews, but right now, I don't want this.

@Out2gtcha:
Im not into hip hop very much anymore either, but that video cracks me up every time, and i've always, for some reason, enjoyed 99% of everything snoop dogg does. Shit, even my mom likes snoop dogg, he's like a pimp the whole family can enjoy.

@shorty63136:

it's weird, guitar hero is more like playing one of those strap on keyboards than guitar. HA like snoop dogg in the sensual seduction video. I fuckin love that video.

I'm in for this one. Although I don't play the PS3 version of GHIII all that much, but my DS Lite goes with me more places.

Why would you have to flip the attachment to the other side to do lefty mode. couldn't you just flip the video images?

@ nutbastard: I find that people who've never played a stringed instrument (or any other instrument that requires each hand to perform independently) have a bit of a hard time with it initially, but have fun while getting better (and being laughed at by friends in the process).

13-year cello player here and I think the game is awesome. Hurricane is my ISHT!

But my main concern is how you're gonna be able to hold the DS w/ the keys on your fingers and see the screen well at the same time. I'm left-handed, so it might be more difficult than someone who's a righty. *shrug*

That looks pretty sweet. As long as it's not too expensive (maybe $50?) and works on my phat.

There's no way you would be flipping that all around and still following the notes... It'd be like "*hunched over screen, hoping they don't fuck up the touchscreen strumming*"

Wi-Fi co-op play? That could be interesting if so. Don't have a DS, but if it does co-op that way, I might be picking up one for my son and one for me.

With 4 keys only, it's more like Bass Guitar Hero.

I played guitar hero not long ago, and while it doesn't compare at all to actually playing a guitar, it wasn't terrible. I still think that it's not a very cool game in terms of what one gets out of it, but it is social in nature, and i guess that's kind of a good thing.

I'm more of a COD4 kinda guy. (Holy shit firefox is claiming 'kinda' is an actual word... wtf?) I like to shoot things, dammit. Things that look like people.

Hrm... So if it roughly plays like regular GH, it looks like the max difficulty level would be Medium?
