Revolutionary Game or Lame Concept?

Guitar Hero is a revolutionary game for the Playstation 2 gaming system. Like its name, Guitar Hero allows the player to take over the role of a lead guitar player in a band. What make this game truly unique are the controller choices. A player can use either a traditional dual-shock PS2 controller or the SG controller shaped like a guitar. The SG controller has 5 fret buttons (green, yellow, red, blue, and orange), a strumming bar, and a whammy bar. While it might be easier to play Guitar Hero with the controller, you get the true guitar player vibe using the SG Controller. It takes some coordination to become accustomed to hitting a fret button and strumming at the same time, but after a few songs, it becomes easier.
