I tried it myself and didn't do too badly. Would recommend it for others, based on their comments. Bought this for my 11 yr old granddaughter for Christmas. She loves it - and so does her mother. Fun to play and challenging.
It's so funny to see her "jamming" to old school rock. It was hard at first, but within a day she had it figured out. Fits her hand well, and she can play it just like a guitar. My 7 yr. old daughter's favorite DS game. It gets harder, so it stays challenging.
it's easy at first and then gets harder as you go on. you should get this game if you are good at moving your fingers really quick. this game is pretty good. my brother matthew likes it too.
The songs, as they are stuffed on a DS cart I'm sure, are pretty horrible quality, and the game itself just seems a little hastily made.There is also the fact that trying to play the game makes my wrist and arm feeling like they are being stabbed to death. This game, however, just doesn't seem to have that same feeling as the others. I'm not really sure how they could have designed it better, but the way it is now doesn't really work.Stick to the big console versions of the game, and use your DS for the things it was designed for. The idea itself doesn't sound bad at all. A guitar hero game, holding the DS like a guitar neck, a special DS controller, I mean, what can go wrong.Well, I'll admit, I'm not a die-hard fan of the Guitar Hero series or anything, but they are fun games to play for sure. It is not a comfortable game to play in any way at all.
I recommend the game for anyone who needs to get their GH fix, even while on the road, although if you're looking for very responsive controls or a huge selection of songs you may want to wait for the price to come down a bit. The DS version of this feature fully utilizes the DS's stylus and microphone in its "punishments" and require more involvement than its console counterpart. I was a little skeptical when I picked up the game as my FIRST Nintendo DS game, but it certainly delivered what was promised. The reason for the latter is due to the inclusion of the "Guitar Duel" mode. Additionally using the stylus was hit or miss - sometimes it worked flawlessly, other times it never really registered. This was the biggest reason in my markdown to a 4.Overall the game is fun, albeit short. It's not the most "authentic" Guitar Hero experience, but it's just enough to get your rythym based, portable game fix.The game offers a decent mix of 25 different songs, most of them original recordings. Graphically the game is not too impressive but in all fairness it doesn't make a huge difference as you'll probably be focused entirely on the stream of green, red, yellow, and blue buttons to see the clunky looking avatars.The game's difficulty ranges from laughably easy (even on hard) to frustratingly difficult.
It takes a while, but once mastered I found the Duel mode a lot more interesting than the career mode, which seemed fairly short (only 25 songs, no unlockable songs).The biggest problem I had with the game was the control system. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but the game manages to capture some aspects of its full-fledged counterparts admirably. I've been a huge Guitar Hero fan since the first incarnation on the PS2, although after GH3 I lost a little faith and moved into (and remain in) the Rock Band camp. The recordings are decent, although they are best enjoyed via headphones - even cheaper, MP3 player headphones sounded better than the DS's small speakers. Holding the DS will be a preference different for everyone, and doesn't seem that intuitive.
