Playstation 3 VS Wii - Page 4

Lani and I had never heard of Guitar Hero II until a few weeks ago.

We were at Fry's and some guy was playing it on a display (you know when we were kids and would go to the arcade and there was always that old guy hanging around playing games (probably the ancient age of 30 at most)? this was that guy).

We had a married person moment where we both looked at each other and said "that is the stupidest thing ever!"

Then when we got home, she was playing WoW (yes, the irony, it burns) and said to the people she was playing with "you wouldn't believe the stupidest thing we saw today..." and it turned out about half of the people on the raid had it.

gawd, dork I am. I read your post again and I get it. He has 'Game Designer' credit. I thought that was 'something' tangible {a card, game, reached secret codes}not a title.

I have been busy working to pay for said Wii and not slowing down to smell the roses or read posts carefully, I guess.....

I am one of those talking about the Guitar Hero 1 & 2............

Oh my gosh, I never thought it was stupid but I do wish it taught more the chords, how to play a real guitar, etc. But, at least it is getting them into it and how to hold a guitar, etc.

I had an absolute blast embarrassing myself at Bowling on the Wii last night, and made up for it by blasting a couple of home runs (as Oprah) on Wii Baseball- I absolutely love that system.

Yeah, we just had a conversation with him and another friend lamented the fact that, for some reason, they went with 4 buttons instead of 6. While it can hardly actually teach you to play guitar, at least with 6 buttons you could learn a little more about actual chords.

A friend of mine didn't like it because it wasn't really like playing a guitar and her son said it was fun and that is good enough for him. They both play guitar. While I wish it did teach, I can get over it and just enjoy it.

You can be Oprah bowling? Do they at least make her pretty?

You can make all sorts of different Wii people...

It was fun watching OJ box VS. Oprah, and we even made a Mick Jagger lookalike

Ah, reminds me of that other game...I forget what it is called. They made Chris Cornell.

You just can't make Chris Cornell, ya know?

Mick Jagger, now that would have been funny. Caricature?

Well, we started out trying to make a Steven Tyler lookalike, but when we switched to the alien face, it just instantly WOW! It's Mick!

Um...I just bought a PS2... ;D

That's cool, JPJ. Hopefully now you can get a lot of great deals on games and accessories.

Are you going to try DDR and Guitar Hero?
