This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Am I the only addicted to this game?

I don't normally like rhythm games like DDR, but getting the chance to rock out to Iron Man on lead guitar was too much for me to resist.

It's a PS 2 game.

Basically, it's a package with the game and what looks like a cheap, toy guitar. The guitar's fret board has five colored buttons on it, a whammy bar, and a clicky thing that you strum. The guitar is the game's controller.

The game plays a song, and you have to "play" the guitar along with the rhythm of the song. There's sequences of colored notes that scroll across the screen sort of like karaoke. You have to hit the proper colored button on the fret board and strum the guitar in proper time.

It's really cool because the integration between what you hear on the game and the movements you make to manipulate the guitar are really well matched. When you're tearing through Iron Man, it really feels like you're actually playing the song.

Cool. As a fan of Singstar, I'll check that one out.

Not so sure about the game but I must commend your impecable taste in music.

The game is great. I really like it even if I'm no guitar player and quite clumsy :)
