  BEST GAME EVER!!! MUST BUY!!! August 15, 2006
This is the best game I have ever played on PS2. I recommend it to everyone! Hours of fun! I couldn’t put the guitar down!
  Hours of fun. August 10, 2006
This game can keep you busy for hours. It’s especially fun when you have a friend who also has a guitar. You can play the multiplayer game. Lots of fun.

What about Guitar Hero entices me to put up the title “Simply Amazing” for my review? Just about everything. Here are some of the games biggest strong points…
1. The soundtrack:
Guitar Hero boasts one of the best video game soundtracks since the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series. Songs such as “Iron Man,” “Killer Queen,” “Ziggy Stardust,” “Cochise,” and “Smoke on the Water” make this game an absolute joy to play.
2. The Concept:
Who doesn’t want to become a rock star in the comfort of their own living room? I don’t wanna meet the person.
3. It’s Development:
Because the game was created with the insight of proffessional guitarists it has a unique and authentic feel to it. I’ve also noticed that my friends and I who play guitar seem to have an easier learning curve than those who do not.
4. Varying difficulty levels:
The games four difficulty levels allow you to increase your sills as you play through some easier songs so that you’re ready when its time to jam out to some Steevie Ray Vaughn…
I have to say that I was extremely skeptical when my mother gave me the game for my birthday last week but after just a few days I’ve gone out to buy a second guitar and I’ve played it for numerous hours.
The only major con of the game is the amount of time that will fly by as you don’t even realize it.
If you can spring the 70 bucks to buy the game, buy it. You will not be dissappointed.
  The best music game yet, if not the best thing ever. July 26, 2006
Since getting Guitar Hero, I:
Have gained an appreciation for heavy metal. By pretending to play it, which cannot be done without making heavy metal guitarist faces.
Have started hearing pop music in a completely different, much more interesting way, noticing details of composition and structure that used to wash over me.
Have taken up the actual, wood-not-plastic guitar.
Have lived the dream of rock stardom, from novice to journeyman to legend, in full, in my living room. No, they really DO get this one right.
So I thought this list was going to be longer. But any one of those things alone is worth the price of the game, and some are worth the game and the system, so the whole package is like a 75% savings. At least. This should be an inconsequential little novelty game, but somehow it really seems to matter.
(A sequel is in the works. You will want both.)
  ROCK ON BABY!!! July 26, 2006
Now we need games like this. Taking a risk and make playing a game more interactive than ever. Feeling like a real rockstar, it does get you that feeling. Theres a lot of songs, although you have to unlock them. This game may seem like a ddr-knockoff with muscial instruments but trust me, its really good. I recommend this game to even the non-gamers out there, you will have a blast with Guitar Hero.
