I fell hard for this fad. For a while, it looked like the 'Rhythm' genre was going to be the genre in the 7th Generation. Every generation has it's own defining genre, and it looked like this would be it, until the FPS genre stole it's thunder and went on to become even more succesful. I played Guitar Hero every single day for a couple years straight, starting with this entry in the series. Afterwards I moved on to World Tour, Guitar Hero 5, Warriors of Rock and Metallica. Very recently I got one of the DS entries, but only because it was so cheap it was basically free. The player must of course, play guitar songs, usually with the guitar controller. It's possible to play it with a regular controller, but why would anyone want to do that? Anyway for a while I got very good at it, to the amazement (and ridicule) of my friends and family.
Of the five games I got for PS3, I actually prefered the setlist in Metallica, for one because they're one of my favorite bands period, but mostly because those songs were the most fun to play. Setlists in the series were highly dependant on their setlists. Boring songs (to play anyway, to listen is something different) would brake the game. This is why my interest waned during the later games. Guitar Hero 5's setlist was very mediocre without a lot of good songs and Warriors of Rock's setlist was barely rocking. I never even played every song in that game. Guitar Hero III is in the list though, because this game I played the most and always came to even when newer games were already out. It had the best difficulty curve and it's the one started one of the biggest addictions I ever had.
