Guitar Hero is in that sweet spot where it is hard enough to get the competitive juices flowing , but not hard enough to turn of a mass of people that would require playing it to recoupe all the expenses in licensing \/creating \/all production and marketing expenses.
\nIf I was to waste as much time in doing something, I’d probably just learn the damn instrument (Guitar) and try to create music. I saw the ted talk of the Guitar Hero creator, and I admire his desire to bring music to everyone. I hope this funded his research, because it is far from successful if that is his goal.
\nI hate it when I have strong feelings on something, I tend to be incoherent, too many thoughts wanting to express themselves simultaneously and\u00a0 when you get around to it the thought is lost.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been puzzled by the popularity of the game Guitar Hero,” writes Rob Horning at PopMatters. “If you want a more interactive way to enjoy music, why not dance, or play air guitar? Or better yet, if holding a guitar appeals to you, why not try actually learning how to play? For the cost of an Xbox and the Guitar Hero game, you can get yourself a pretty good guitar.” Horning, apparently, doesn’t quite get the point of prosumerism; its joys are lost on him. He continues: “I can\u2019t help but feel that Guitar Hero (much like Twitter) would have been utterly incomprehensible to earlier generations, that it is a symptom of some larger social refusal to embrace difficulty.”
