I am really disappointed in this game. I saw it like a month ago before it came out and I couldn't wait to get it. I thought it was gonna be like a little guitar hero but this game is nowhere near the fun of guitar hero. it doesn't even play along with you when you play the songs. all you hear is when you strum on the guitar, so if you have no idea how the song goes you'll be sitting there just playing notes in order. you dont even have to be in time to complete the song. don't make the same mistake I did though. I bought it the week it came out and I sold it to gamestop about 2 weeks later and only got 12 dollars for it. DONT GET IT!!! unless you enjoy playing songs out of rythym and stuff.
Good idea gone wrong

Let's be honest one with another: As a game, this DS title sucks. Pitiful song selection, vomitously bad graphics, and a meager effects system. But that's just the beginning of my woe. Relatively few of the songs have demos, so if you've never heard the song in question, you're out of luck. Another thing that doesn't help is the absolute LACK of rhythm guidance during play. You get only a rough indication of where you are in the song, and although you can set the tempo of the optional metronome, there's no real accompaniment, nor is there any scoring system at all. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if someone told me this title was developed by a couple of college students over the course of a couple of months, because it is altogether weak and feature-starved.
Having said all that, the large chord library makes Free Play mode at least sufferable.
Be advised that this game doesn't include "Santeria," which is featured in the ads.
Great product

When I first heard about jam sessions i was really excited. I just recently bought the game from amazon for a cheap price. I started playing as soon as it came in the mail and I literally I was tired of it in about 15 minutes. I play guitar so theres just no point of having this game. You are very limited to what you can do. Theres only 2 modes; free play and song mode. Song mode is pointless unless you know the song, because all it does is give you the chord names and lyrics. it doesn't even tell you how to strum for all of the songs. In free play mode, you choose what chords you want to use to play. Thats the one good thing; there are a lot of chords to choose from. The sound is also pretty good and most chords song like a real guitar. On the other hand, I really hate how there's no sense of accomplishment in this game. When you learn a song on real guitar, it feels really good. In jam sessions, it feels like cheating. In other words, don't get this game unless you're too lazy to learn real guitar
Jam Sessions Rocks

Jam session is a great way to create your own music as well as learn notes and play other songs.
