Love the game, but if you're going to be playing on an HDTV, be aware that unlike "Guitar Hero II" this game does NOT have an option to calibrate the game to make up for lag.
The lag is enough to not only give you a headache, but also keep you from passing many of the songs in either Hard or Expert mode.
Song selection is good, chord progression in Hard & Expert modes is great.

Lots of fun even for a novice. Also bought the wireless flying V to make playtime even more exciting and not restrictive!

This is a great game to play by yourself and is even better playing with someone else in face-off or co-op modes. Great track listing of mostly hard rock music such as Black Sabbath's Iron Man. I would recommend 2 guitars though if you purchase this game. Being able to battle a friend is what really pushes this game over the top, because come on, who wants to play a guitar game with a controller. I went with two wired guitars instead of the slightly more expensive wireless ones just because I was concerned about the wireless guitars cutting out and missing notes. The game plays a little like Dance Dance Revolution in the fact that you have to hit the notes by using the fret buttons as they scroll to you to play the song. This game is a must have for anyone who likes rock music and playing air guitar!

My whole family played guitar hero II, often with friends from the neighborhood. I originally bought the game for my 10 year old son, but found everyone loved it. So, once my 16 daughter and I had finished the game on expert, we wanted more songs, so I decided to buy guitar hero 1. Its still a fun game, and filled the void until the next generation of Guitar Hero came out, but there are a couple of things that make the game not quite as good.
1 - Fewer songs; only 30 songs total
2 - Songs were easier
3 - No practice mode (good thing the songs were easier)
4 - No easy way to switch back and forth between saved careers (you have to reboot to get to another person's saved game)
Overall, good game, but Guitar Hero 2 is better (and we just got 80's edition, which is more on par with Guitar Hero 2).
To those who are about to rock, we salute you.

To anyone out there who was never good at DDR, this is the game for you.
Well it should be at least, since you use your fingers instead of feet.
Regardless, this is a game where you will have hours of fun trying to beat all the greatest (well most) rock songs there are.
With 4 levels of difficulty, you can shred like Hendrix or well not..
Definately worth the investment. Though with Guitar Hero II and soon to be III coming out, all you would miss out on is a few songs.
Great Game

Overall this game is great. The song selection, in my opinion doesn't compare to guitar hero II, but it's still good. The game is a lot easier on hard than it's counterpart. Expert is a different situation. I recently completed the game on expert and let me tell you, your fingers will hurt. With songs like "Texas Flood", "Cowboys From Hell", and "Bark at the Moon" you will spend many hours of frustration in expert mode. With the lack of practice mode, these songs are even more difficult. All in all the game is worth the investment.
