Part 2
After playing the game for a second time I feel like it has become much easier and more enjoyable. This time I played for about another hour and felt like it was starting to make more sense.
One thing I have realized about the game is how little one seems to notice the lack of story line to the game. However, the point of the game is not a story, and it does not need cut scenes. The game is designed in a way to be fun and addicting without cliff hangers or plot twists. This is all because of the way a player can truly interact and play the guitar.
This game is really cool, and a very brilliant idea. I feel it is a large step towards the future of video gaming.

This is the first time I have played this game. It is very difficult to pick up on at first. As a guitar player I felt like it was learning to play guitar all over again. It was hard at first to remember what color went with which finger, but I was quickly able to make the neccessary adjustments and start rocking.
The game progresses in a way that allows you to build upon your skills, baby steps if you will. The characters are based on sterotypical images of rockers, punk rockers, and hard rockers, and the guitars are perfect for rocking. There is very little story line to the game and it, in my opinion, is much more fun to play with friends than it is to play a career. The competitive element of the game makes playing each song that much more interesting. This also makes the game exciting for people who are watching the game. The game has a poor reward structure and is not all that reinforcing, the main form of reinforcment is the song sounding good. It seems as if the game is limited by its lack of options and story.
I also felt that the only thing that kept the player interested in the game is the physical part of playing the game. The game itself is pretty fun, but what makes it a game that is addicting is the fact that you have a little guitar to use instead of a regular controller.
