The game is a huge sales point for losers who are too lazy to try the real thing and create beautiful music of your own. You can create a simulation and have it sell a bundle for morons who are too sad to live life. Look at second life, look at World of Warcraft and look at these two games. I haven't met a person who played WOW that wasn't hooked on it like a crack addict and the same goes for this game. "OMG!! they put up a Megadeth song? Let me play it! I want to see how good I can be." Call me an elitist...i'm a realist and I just so happen to play guitar and actually sing. Heres some respectable words.

Blues-Rock guitarist and singer, John Mayer, has slammed the popular videogame Guitar Hero because he feels that it does not provide the thrill a real guitar gives. Mayer has urged fans to learn to play the guitar instead of using the game to get the experience. He said, "Guitar Hero was devised to bring the guitar-playing experience to the masses without them having to put anything into it. And having done both, there's nothing like really playing the guitar. I mean, what would you rather drive, a Ferrari or one of those amusement park cars on a track?"

I dont know, I sing and I really like RB, I usually only do the vocals, that is the reason I got it. I didnt like guitar hero at all, but when I knew that there was a game where you could do the same as guitar hero with drums and singing I had to get it.

I understand what you are saying, but for me, singing in the game is the same thing as singing in real life, aand this game is making me have more practice and Im reaching higher tones now, besides there are a lot of groups I didnt know and it has helped me to expand my music library.
