Destiny Guy · I think I have a girl in my avatar about 95% of the time.

You should get a boy and his blob!

I'll think about both.

I've heard things about the original. Most of it said that the original was impossibly hard. Like, Contra hard. Maybe even worse.

SMB, Yoshi's Cookie, Wario's Woods and of course, Kirby's Adventure. A Boy and His Blob is not on the Virtual Console.

Well that is a shame. But I don't really care. I wasn't totally serious about that anyway.

I'll look later today.

But what can you get with 500 points? A NES game, at the most.

I decided on more Rock Band songs. Bang Camaro FTW.

Epic fail.

What? Music=Win. Rock Band=Win.

Music = Good.

Rock Band = LAME. LAME!!

Pokefreak113 · Stab my eye. I dare you. I DARE YOU!

DISAGREE

Why do you guys hate rock band so much? Sure, the concept is stupid (why not just learn real instruments etc) but it's fun!

Even past my normal suck at rhythm games, it's just... BAD. Like, seriously - I can't imagine why it's a success. Well, I can - people are stupid - but it's just not a very good game in idea or in practice.

I could buy Rock Band, if it weren't for all those expensive instruments that come with it. I heart rhythm games

That in no way described WHY its bad.

Well, I haven't played Rock Band - just Guitar Hero - but the premise and controls are the same, so, I'd bet they're similar.

First of all, the controls are HORRENDOUS. I understand they're trying to emulate actual guitars with the clicky thing and the buttons and the bar, but it just ends up clunky and ineffective. The choices in music are mediocre, and because of the combination of lyrics, drums, guitar, etc, actually LISTENING to the song you've chosen only screws you up further. You need to follow the button set, not the actual music. Sometimes the choices seem entirely random. It's ridiculous. The controllers are expensive, ugly, and difficult to hold without experience with the instruments - and if you HAVE experience with a guitar, why wouldn't you be PLAYING with an ACTUAL guitar? Guitar Hero, and Rock Band by extension, seems like one of those crappy casual series based on a generic wet dream of the masses - Beauty Salon or NFL or whatever - only it's for some inexplicable reason a success.

The graphics on the Wii version suck, too.

...but that's just my take on it.

Destiny Guy · I think I have a girl in my avatar about 95% of the time.

The graphics in all versions suck. It sounds like you mostly hate the controllers. And I agree with most of your points. If you think about it, the guitar controllers make terrible controllers. And you probably don't want to hear your friends or family singing eye of the tiger. They didn't even include the real songs, they're all covers. But I still say its fun, if probably not worth the money.

It's the instruments that are annoying. I don't know how responsive or comfortable they are, but I don't care, since I can't afford the thing anyway.

Even my Taiko no Tatsujin Wii was bought online without the drum itself. Too expensive, and from what I last heard, it breaks easily. I didn't want to take the risk. If only rhythm game accessories were more robust.

The Guitar Hero guitars are WAY more comfortable than the Rock Band ones. Always. And guitars are very responsive, drums and mic less so.

Pokefreak113 · Stab my eye. I dare you. I DARE YOU!

Exactly. And it's still fun.

**** peripherals.

DDR with regular controller = WIN

Halo with dance mat = MOAR WIN
