is that teenage Dexter?
I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. But it cant be. Dexter would have killed him right then and there for the crime of inflicting that wiggling on us.
rofl I was about to post the same thing :)
I think you're all bashing it just because the first post happened to bash it. It doesn't look impossible to play at all. The gameplay may not match that of other consoles, but it doesn't look that terrible. Think for yourselves instead of just saying crap for the sake of agreeing with everyone else.
Epic Fail.
Speechless
After that video I just want to kill myself,
no really
jebus, the nightmares
One word: Freaks
Major fail.
Love it.
I vaguely reminds of me of the "Real American Hero" Budweiser commercials.
You mean aside from the fact that those commercials are good?
wiggle it like a madman! (ooooo wigglewigglewigglewiggle)
Did someone say... cocaine?

"this video was banned from music television because you could see my junk..through my jumpsuit"
oh yea, like anyone is going to yell "rock out" to use star power
OBJECTION!
saying it when your drunk doesnt count elora
wow he's annoying! I think that this video has convinced me not to buy a DS and GH:OT!
I think people would stare at me when I shout "Rock out" at my hand, in the park or bus.
Oh god please don't make one for the PSP!
just press any button on the DS... "some tiiiiimes you can't yellllllll"...
It's disheartening to see activision take guitar hero from a top franchise to a gimmick in less than a year. Oh well, the nail in the coffin was rock band anyway.
I think that Kotaku had it best when they merely wrote the title as "RIP Guitar Hero"...
rock band > guitar hero
also that pick looks like it would scrape up my DS touchscreen quite a bit, I am foreseeing an epic fail
Oh WOW, i am going to camp out the day before it comes out. I MUST HAVE IT! i can't be a true guitar hero person without having it and wiggling like a gay worm. . . . . . ok wait, the LCD has worn off. there is no way in Hades I would ever buy this. This video is totally effeminate. Good thing i never liked guitar hero or rock band.
I don't know what is worse... this ad or the Dunkin Donuts Terrorist Ad... in both cases the agency should be dragged out into the street and shot... or tortured with that new fangled active denial system.
我得找到那个手表再说！
Hey, this is a family blog! Knock it off!
"I must find that wristwatch to say again"
i have to find the watch first.
I'd rather be Rick Rolled...
the internet called. wants to know where to send your shipment of win.
Too bad iEye owes the internet so much fail from his other posts that he won't see any win for a while.
It looks like he's leaning in for the kiss...
Why does this remind me of the Bud Light "real men of genius" radio commercials? Over-hyped narrator, crappy accent rock vocalist in the background...
Except it's 3 minutes long. I can haz earphonez?
Is it me, or did it get stupid in here all of a sudden?
Is it me, or did it get stupid in here all of a sudden?
Lol... he missd the first note
Is it me, or did it get stupid in here all of a sudden?
It's definitely just you
it got total fail pw3d...
hey kiddos...keep using buzzwords
Looks like somebody got the high score in Heroin Hero before starting this demo.
Bud Light salutes "real men of genius"
How could you? I ust died a little inside =(
I personally think GH is boring and lame. It does possess, however, the tiny merit that the controller is shaped vaguely like a guitar and the actions you perform with your hands are not entirely dissimilar to what one would do with a real guitar – you know, like grownups use.
This thing? It’s 100% unlike playing a guitar. It is without merit. Fail. The video is also pretty awful. Not pass!
So Dance Dance Revolution won't be able to help me set ladies' skirts on fire on the dance floor in the real world??
As for Peewee Herman and young Jonathan Taylor Thomas' house of craprock, I present the bird.
Being flipped.
Just because you aren't holding a real-fake guitar doesn't mean it can't have merit as a rhythm game.
That said, it looks horrible beyond redemption.
I have to disagree. I had a big discussion about this with some fellow guitar players. It's very much a case of how much it feels like playing a guitar being related to the style and techniques you've developed playing real guitar. For me, the type of co-ordination involved between the two hands makes it a dead ringer. For those who HAVEN'T had the finger to a fret rule mercilessly driven into them through countless exercises by sadistic guitar teachers... not so much.
How does it look impossible to play?
This ad is nothing but Super Turbo Mega Fail....Ultimate Edition.
These games are for the biggest geeks on the planet. Jesus Christ if you wanna play guitar just pick up a guitar and take some lesson...you wont be getting any chicks by showing your mad skillz on some stupid plastic guitar controller in your living room. When will people stop buying this garbage and simply go out and learn to play an instrument. At least that would get these nerds away from the TV set and possibly into a girls pants.
I spend plenty of time playing video games and yet I still get into a girls pants. I fail to see your correlation.
Forrest...so you fail to see the correlation between playing too many video games, staying indoors 24/7, or playing wow every day of your life with not being able to land a girlfriend, wife or even friend with benefits? You fail to see how being anti social, weak and out of shape from being a couch potato and lack of exercise would have a big effect on ones ability to attract someone of the opposite sex? So wait hold on...what your telling me is your confused by the fact that putting video games first in your life and staring into a television set all day might make it difficult for a person to meet a women who has any interest in them? Oh yea forrest you obviously must have it all figured out. Keep on playing Guitar Hero and live the dream buddy....live the dream.
Clearly, anyone who plays videogames at all plays them 24/7 and never leaves the house. Anyone who plays Madden should instead learn to play real football and join the NFL, and anyone who plays CoD should buck up and join the special forces. Maybe then they could get laid. Losers.
