[88 Bronco]

Activision has pulled the plug. I guess the fad is over.

If they had done this 5 years earlier I would be in Med school right now.

Good move by activision, the series ran its course. Main problem is the plastic instruments are bad margin items creating a loss that the software could no longer make up for.

eh, got old after the 3rd one

[Crixtala]

you mean people actually played this...?

[Zaximus]

Typical Activision, honestly. The first game or two were awesome, different, and fun. Then they had to release 1-3 a year and people got bored of them. Should have spaced them out a couple years between.

They are doing the same thing to the CoD franchise, not surprisingly.

[Darth Urious]

Good riddance... now maybe people will pick up actual instruments and learn something useful...

[Darth Urious]

Wait....

Are you telling me that because I can play Through the Fire and the Flame on expert that I cant actually play guitar?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not (I think you are, though), but, if not, I am pretty sure you picked up a real guitar before you picked up the plastic one with buttons...

I've always found this game frustrating. When playing at other people's houses, I always hated the delay. It struck me as stupid that you can't play the note at the right time, you have to play the note a split second before the right time.

I've been told you can adjust these settings in the game menu but I can't believe everywhere I've played it had it calibrated wrong.

I play a mean butt trumpet

And making a fug load of money in the process.

the last one was the best, imo. letting you import songs from all the newer games was awesome.

too bad they screwed up the online/multiplayer.

oh, on a sorta related note, powergig:rise of the sixstring is the most aweful game that ive ever played. the "real guitar" concept seemed cool, but they totally released the most god aweful game possible, with no online mode at all.

That and the pawn shop gives you poo for them.
