Advantages: Portable, new songs Disadvantages: Awkward to press all the buttons, bruises your hand!
Being an avid fan of the previous GuitarHero games, my name was one of the first on the pre-order list. My little bundle of joy arrived through my letter box yesterday morning (the day after the release date) delivered from HMV.com with free delivery, totalling £26.99 (with student discount).
In the box, you get the add-on part with the coloured buttons that you insert into the GameBoy Advance slot on your DS, a seperate attachement that you have to use if you are using an old style DS, a plectrum stylus, the game catridge, a game case, two sticker sheets and the instructions - though don't ask me what they say, I figured I would work everything out along the way.
The add-on part comes with an adjustable velcro strap so that every size of hand will fit. When you have connected it to the DS, put the game in and turned on the DS ...
Advantages: Great if you're an Aerosmith fan Disadvantages: Dumbed down
For those of you who have never played a GuitarHero game on any format, you could do a lot worse than start on this game.

The trick is to correlate the relevant button with the strumming as and when the relevant string on screen features which button(s) you need to play. To this end ...
Advantages: Great for guitarists or complete begginers Disadvantages: No upgrade shop on easy mode

It's a 1 or 2 player game and can be played with the guitar controller or a normal PS2 analogue controller. The guitar controller is supplied in most packages for this game and the second in the series. I love this game and when I got it for Christmas I was so happy and couldn't wait to get it fired up and start rocking.
Being some one who doesn't play the Play station that much my parents were kind of surprised that I had asked for a game for Christmas but now even they have a shot of it!!!
The game is sponsored by Gibson, a major guitar company, So all of the guitars in game are Gibson's and the Guitar controller is modelled on the Gibson SG.

The box for the package is about a meter long and 30cm wide (approx ...
