Holy sh*t what a terrible selection. Any new country = failsauce. We need some Highway Men, George Jones etc, old school country stat.
Written by Xenos on 2008/12/08

Old school country is the only kind of country music that exists IMO.

Anything that is new country is just rock but the lead singer has a southern twang.

Anyone who plays these games on there own are just pathetic. learn a real instrument.
Written by VaeVictus on 2008/12/08

I play these games on my own and can play 3 instruments.
Written by Nemesis IX on 2008/12/09

i'm still calling it pathetic to play this type a game on your own, wouldn't you rather play and perfect your skill at the real instrument?(not a direct question)
Written by Xenos on 2008/12/09

Even if you're alone, can't you play online with others?

While I understand where you're coming from Nemesis. I could pick up, play, and have fun with Guitar Hero 2 which a half hour, I can't learn to play a real guitar in a comparable amount of time.

I do play it online, but I find as much fun simply playing some of my favorite songs in this fashion. It's no different than playing a redundant FPS, 3rd person shooter, hack and slash etc etc. It's pushing buttons (keys on PC) to achieve a score/goal. Just b/c the controllers are shaped like instruments does not mean it is not a game. I don't play my Rock Band titles as much as my fps games, but it is fun sometimes to do something mindless and enjoy music while I'm at it.



Whether I play it alone or with a group of people shouldn't be seen differently imo. It's a game.
