Default Re: Guitar Hero. Awesome.

I don't blame X-Play for calling BMUS a Ripoff. In respects to both games, IIDX is a pain in the dick to learn, the music they gave you to work with was only so-so, the graphics and interface wern't fabulous, and hitting 7 buttons with a turntable takes much more time and dedication to get even remotly decent with compared to Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero had familiar songs, an easy learning curve, nice graphics that were not random images like so many IIDX videos, and is extremly appealing to the majority of gamers. Proof for this would be my brother. I've tried to get him to try out IIDX and Stepmania, and he just never even liked it at all. He sees my Guitar Hero controller one day, decides to give it a shot, and before I knew it he went through and unlocked every song, character, and guitar for me. For someone who just despises music games he really took a liking to it.

Hell, it's in his room right now >_>
