We got World Tour early last month and I am ridiculously hooked. I already beat the guitar career; I'm about 30% done with the bass career. I'm also working on getting Perfect on everything on Medium. I've managed to do that on "The Joker" and "Livin' On a Prayer" so far. The one that's killing me is "Do It Again" because it's so super boring and lame on Medium but I always mess up anyway. And I totally sprained something trying to do "Satch Boogie" on Medium -- gonna need to spend some time practicing that one. I have a game on my iPod called Phase that's pretty much the same concept as Guitar Hero, just with the iPod controls, and you can use your own music. I'm hooked on that thing, too. Many's the time I've put my iPod down only to realize I've totally destroyed my vision for the next hour. My friend Pam got Guitar Hero for Christmas and she hasn't touched it yet. She's waiting for me to get there tomorrow before she tries. So I foresee lots more Guitar Hero in my future.

Camanda, I played that at my friend Scott's tonight! I wasn't too bad - I played Misery Business and The Kill on drums on Medium, and that was my very first time - but GOD is it FUN. I'd like to get that eventually, when I have money for an XBox (or preferably a PS3).

Haha, I don't have World Tour yet either, but I've played it at my friends house. I think I'm more of a Rock Band girl.
I dunno what to invest in when I get an Xbox.

I don't have guitar hero, but I play it all the time at friends house, and the original is my favorite, I've played others, and I just don't like them that much.

Many's the time I've put my iPod down only to realize I've totally destroyed my vision for the next hour. Camanda, I remembered your post when I went browsing in the iTunes store this morning. So I bought Phase, and I think I've eaten up half my iPod's battery in a day. Haha. You're right - it is SO addictive! What I love to do is add all these odd pieces to the Phase playlist, ones with strange meters or difficult rhythms (imagine having to play Guitar Hero set to the Sacrificial Dance from Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" and you'll understand) to see how the Phase technology "feels" the song. In my opinion, it's not entirely accurate - some notes feel sort of haphazard, like somewhere between a quarter and an eighth note, and often times don't follow the song very well. But hey, I can't complain. Getting to mix a Guitar Hero-like apparatus with Holst's Second Suite in F makes my day that much band geekier.

(imagine having to play Guitar Hero set to the Sacrificial Dance from Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" and you'll understand) I think you just sprained my fret hand over the Internet. ;D I mostly play rock and jazz music in Phase and for the most part, I think it does a fine job. I only ever play it on Expert now that I unlocked it, so I don't know if that makes a difference. Hard was always fairly accurate, too, I thought. Might just be a genre/mixing thing when iTunes analyzes the pieces.
