This looks interesting.

However, i'd confess that I never got into Guitar Hero.

Does this game justified the $50 price tag?

Do you mean you never got into Guitar Hero by not liking it or not playing it? If you don't like Guitar Hero already, I suggest you pass. If you haven't played it yet, but enjoy rhythm games in general, you should feel pretty confident about this game. We still don't know if it plays well yet, but if they nail the gameplay I will absolutely be buying this on day one. Activision is showing one hell of an innovation by making this, and here we were thinking they were just sinking the Guitar Hero ship.

Buy Elite Beat Agents instead.

Never!!!
Dont buy it.

However...that fire ting looks pretty cool. Especially if you have to blow it out using the microphone before you can keep playing... not sure if he was doing that, or just blowing to add effect for the ad.

If you don't like Guitar Heros then don't buy it. Elite Beat Agents would make a good substitute.

I dunno, it looks pretty cool... and wierd. Although I'm very much NOT in GH games at all - I may consider this, as an "experimental" purchase. Will definitely wait for the reviews, and see how well the actual mechanism works - and how it feels.

Here comes another 1m units in sales for Activision?
