One thing that I love is the guitar. I've played since I was a freshman in high school, tried to learn some of my favorite songs, and always listen for sweet riffs in the music that I listen to. Another thing I love is video games. I've been following the game world since original nintendo and since computer games were on floppies (of course, that's not completely impressive to the older generation... but it's basically my whole life). So, you can imagine that when Guitar Hero came out, I was all over it. Now, we own a Wii, so the first Guitar Hero available for it was Guitar Hero III (which some people apparently don't like as much as the first two, but since I don't know any better, I was happy with it), and I played through that one and loved it! I kinda passed on the Aerosmith version just because I never really was a huge Aerosmith fan. But, as soon as Guitar Hero World tour was announced, I was stoked because not only did it offer the full band option, like Rock Band, it would finally allow downloadable content for us Wii owners!! So, like a hawk, I watched for the end of October to come so I knew when I could go out and obtain the glory -- so the same day it came out, I got it. I haven't had too much time yet to play around with the music studio portion, but even just doing a quickplay song is fun. My wife likes singing along, so the addition of the microphone was also a very welcomed feautre. And who doesn't like banging on a drum set? Even if you don't know what you're doing, or you want to have your kids play along with you, you can put it in "beginner mode" which allows them to hit anything and it won't affect the band's progress during a song -- which also makes it fun at parties and family get togethers! Anyway, if you're thinking (or debating) about getting it, you definitely should!
