Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - In Jackson's words
This game was bought with a gift certificate by my 9 year old son, Jackson. He hasn't put it down since it arrived. He doesn't have one single complaint about it. It's challenging and exciting. It's gotten him thinking about music and learning songs that I grew up with. All his friends want it too!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent handheld option for GH buffs!
Okay, so it's not EXACTLY like playing a guitar (not that regular GH is...) but it's a pretty neat translation for the DS system. Some good songs, but mostly one's I'd never heard of.

PROS:
-Decent number of songs
-Awesome dueling mode that keeps things interesting
-Pretty good graphics for a DS game
-Great hand exercise!

CONS:
-Not good for younger players with little hands. I've got small hands, and I have to tighten the strap a lot and stretch my hand
-Not the same "I can play guitar!" feel

Overall, worth the investment. I hear there's a sequel in the works to be sold sans controller, so it won't be as expensive.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nintendo DS Guitar Hero
I bought this for my 12 yr old son, who already has the regular guitar hero and he loves it so much he wanted it for his DS. He says he finds it easier than the full size version and enjoys playing it quite alot so I have to give it a thumbs up. Shipping was quick and brand new as described and he loves it so I guess that sums it up.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun
Fun and easy to play. Good graphics and awesome songs. 4.5 or 5 stars out of 5.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good Game, But The Little Things Take It...
I was really hesistant to buy this game, personally. A Guitar Hero on the DS seems, I don't know, out of place. I played it (rented), and I loved it! It's really good, to tell you the truth, but there are a few hangups.

the Guitar grip peripheal doesn't fit that well into the DS. It slides out at points and just kind of feels unnatural. The strumming is unresponsive and the whammy system could cause extra notes to be strummed towards the end of the sustained note. The song list does seem to lean to newer songs, but there is a lot of older songs that Guitar Hero devotees will like. I say that if you are a die hard guitar hero nut, go get this. If not, just wait untill Guitar Hero: World Tour for some new freshness.
